Is acrylic resin poisonous? Is it harmful to the skin of many people?
When acrylic resins are dissolved in solvents and used in paints and inks, these solvents are toxic. Now developed water-based acrylic resin or water-based emulsion, without the use of solvents, it is very environmentally friendly and safe.
The most common acrylic resin is polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), in fact, organic glass, widely used in plastics, coatings, medical materials (such as plastic teeth, denture). The general, fully polymerized acrylic resin is not poisonous. But some acrylic resins do not completely aggregate, containing residual monomers, there are certain toxicity, such as GMA monomer, a lot of people allergic.
Because there are many kinds of acrylic resins, they should not be generalized.
