Frequently asked questions
- Is ethylene/va copolymer safe for baby skin?
- Hazard and mechanism remain 0 (no evidence of reproductive/toxic mechanism in infants). Exposure is increased to 1 for baby skin because although the polymer is high‑molecular‑weight and unlikely to penetrate intact adult skin, infant skin has higher permeability and surface‑area‑to‑weight ratio so a small measurable increase in exposure potential is plausible.
- Is ethylene/va copolymer safe for newborns?
- Hazard and mechanism remain 0 (no evidence of reproductive/toxic mechanism in infants). Exposure is increased to 1 for baby skin because although the polymer is high‑molecular‑weight and unlikely to penetrate intact adult skin, infant skin has higher permeability and surface‑area‑to‑weight ratio so a small measurable increase in exposure potential is plausible.
