Contact allergy to epoxy resins--a 10-year study.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Epoxy resins, widely used as adhesives or coatings in construction, boat and aeroplane building, plastic and other industries and trades (1–3), are a frequent cause of occupational allergic contact dermatitis (1–6). Epoxy resin based on diglycidylether of bisphenol A is the main allergen responsible but sensitization can also develop to other components, including the hardeners and reactive diluents (1–3).

Assessment of cross-reactivity of new less sensitizing epoxy resin monomers in epoxy resin-allergic individuals.
BACKGROUND Measures to prevent occupational exposure to epoxy resins, including education, medical examination, and voluntary agreements between employers and workers, have not been effective enough to protect against skin sensitization. Therefore, alternatives to the major epoxy resin haptens that have been found to be less sensitizing in the local lymph node assay have been developed. OBJEC...

متن کاملAnalogues of the epoxy resin monomer diglycidyl ether of bisphenol F: effects on contact allergenic potency and cytotoxicity.
Diglycidyl ethers of bisphenol A (DGEBA) and bisphenol F (DGEBF) are widely used as components in epoxy resin thermosetting products. They are known to cause occupational and nonoccupational allergic contact dermatitis. The aim of this study is to investigate analogues of DGEBF with regard to contact allergy and cytotoxicity. A comprehensive knowledge of the structural features that contribute ...
