Título Allergic contact dermatitis to a photopolymerizable resin used in printing.
Información bibliográfica Aug. 1977, Vol.3, No.4, p.186-194. Illus. 6 ref.
Resumen The Letterflex process, a new development in newspaper printing, is described. Analysis of the resin yielded 2% additives (benzophenone and di-tert-butyl-p-cresol) and the main constituents (1) a polyene derived from tolylene diisocyanate and an alkyl either derivative of a polyol, and (2) a polythiol ester composed of pentaerythritol and mercaptopropionic acid. 12 of the 15 workers handling the resin had skin lesions. Patch tests and biopsies showed the polythiol to act as a skin sensitiser, confirmed by animal experiments.
