PU toy paints usually contain organic solvents, such as acetone, butanone, toluene, etc. These solvents may cause health effects to the human body when exposed to large amounts for a long time or used improperly. The main health risks include:
Inhalation risk: Organic solvents can be inhaled into the lungs after evaporation, causing symptoms such as dizziness, vertigo, drowsiness, nausea, and shortness of breath. Long-term exposure may cause damage to the central nervous system.
Skin contact: Contact with PU paint solvents may cause dry skin, inflammation, skin allergies, or absorption into the body.
Digestive health: Ingestion of paint or inhalation of vapor splashed on the skin may cause stomach discomfort or poisoning.
To reduce the risk, PU toy paints should be used in a well-ventilated environment, avoid long-term exposure, and wear appropriate protective equipment such as gloves, breathing masks, and protective glasses when necessary. In addition, the paint should be cleaned and stored in time after use, and avoid processing waste paint without proper waste disposal.
