Polydicyclopentadiene (PDCPD)

Toxicity of raw materials

The mixtures are composed of aliphatic diolefins (dicyclopentadiene CAS No. 77-73-6 for the most part). These products can be irritating to skin and eyes.

The criterion to be met is the average exposure value (AVE), which in France is set at 5 ppm or 30 mg/m ³ for 8 hours.

It should be noted that the olfactory detection value is 0.003 ppm.
