POLYURETHANE-89 is an inorganic chemical compound, a segmented block copolymer derived from urethane and synthesised from isocyanates.

Significant substances used in the production method:
Epsilon-Caprolactone, hexamethylene carbonate, Neopentyl Glycol, Bis-Hydroxypropyl Dimethicone, Isophorone Diisocyanate, 2-Ethylhexanol.

Safety
Polyurethanes are rather complex, inert and biostable materials that are also used in biomedical applications. They are typically synthesised by the reaction of a glycol or polyol with polyisocyanate or diisocyanate. It is known that exposure to isocyanates can cause asthma, contact allergies, conjunctival and skin irritation. However, a study by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review Expert Panel in 2017 found that the rates of harmful residues are not significant for human health.

Urethane (also called ethyl carbamate) is a by-product of fermentation and is considered a genotoxic agent.
