A New Glove Material Protective Against Epoxy and Acrylate Monomer

  • Conference paper
Book cover Current Topics in Contact Dermatitis

Abstract

More than 90% of the used epoxy resins are of the bisphenol-A type [1]. The monomer with a molecular weight of 340 is a strong sensitizer [12]. It is widely used in several branches of industry and may cause major dermatological problems and change of occupation among sensitized workers [11]. Also methyl-methacrylate monomer is a strong sensitizer [4] and appears to be the main cause of skin problems among dental technicians [3, 5]. Among orthopaedic surgeons several cases of sensitization from self-curing acrylate resins have been described [6, 10].
