Title Allergic contact dermatitis from ultraviolet cured inks.
Bibliographic information Feb. 1977, Vol.19, No.2, p.113-115. 12 ref.
Abstract Report on clinical features and results of patch tests in 8 men employed in the manufacture of ultraviolet-cured inks who developed allergic contact dermatitis, predominantly on exposed areas. They were sensitive to one or several of trimethylolpropane triacrylate, 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate, pentaerythritol triacrylate, and epoxy acrylate oligomers. It is not established whether multiple reactions were due to cross-sensitisation or concomitant exposure.
