Title Allergic properties of p-tert-butylphenol-formaldehyde resins
Original title Zur Allergennatur der para-tert. Butylphenolformaldehydharze [in German]
Bibliographic information 1979, Vol.27, No.2, p.49-52. 22 ref.
Abstract On account of the widespread use of polychloroprene glues containing a p-tert-butylphenol-formaldehyde resin in the shoe and leather industry, and the increased incidence of allergic contact eczema it produces, the allergic properties of these resins were studied in depth. The allergological investigations, the methods used and the reactions obtained with the substances tested are described. P-tert-butylphenol-formaldehyde does not appear to be the most important hapten involved. The eczematogenic substances identified are described.
