Styrene/acrylic copolymer is a water-dispersed polymer used as a binder and carrier in water-based formulations. In the cured/dispersed form, it is not classified as hazardous under OSHA HCS. Distinct from styrene monomer (which carries carcinogen concerns); the polymerized form at consumer-product concentrations does not present the same hazard profile.
