Abstract |
This study evaluates the protective capacity of 4 barrier creams and 2 methacrylate spray coatings against skin contact with epoxy resins. The effect of these materials on the strength and on the surface area of patch test reactions caused by epoxy resin was assessed in 11 volunteers with a known allergy to epoxy resins. Standard amounts of barrier cream and spray coating were applied on the skin. Patch tests were then carried out with spray resin on the pretreated area. After 24h, patches were removed; 48h thereafter the strength and surface area of the reactions were scored. Results were compared with the score of a control test. The use of 2 barrier creams significantly reduced the surface area of the patch test reactions. Spray coatings significantly reduced both the strength and the surface area of the reactions. Thus, methacrylate spray coatings and barrier creams may provide protection against epoxy resins during a test period of 24h. However, the development of new formulations, adapted more specifically to this purpose, is necessary. |
