Contact allergy to aziridine paint hardener

Occupational respiratory and skin sensitization caused by polyfunctional aziridine hardener

“…By replacing organic solvents with PFA hardeners, the systemic toxicity problems arising from the use of organic solvents have been overcome. However, the highly active PFA compounds have caused contact dermatitis [3], which has been shown to be an allergic reaction, as acrylates are present in the PFA hardener as impurities [1,2]. In the present paper we show that PFA may also provoke asthma and rhinitis.…”

Airborne occupational allergic contact dermatitis due to trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPTA) used in the manufacture of printed circuit boards

“…Based on guinea pig maximization tests, Bjö rkner (6,8) classified TMPTA as a strong sensitizer (class IV), and it has caused allergic contact dermatitis among printers and in the manufacture of UV-cured inks (7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13). It may cross-react with PETA-3 (6), but in the case of our patient, did not.…”

Preoperative identification of a bone–cement allergy in a patient undergoing total knee arthroplasty

“…This material is used extensively in dental and orthopaedic procedures. Patients may come in contact with acrylics in cosmetics, paint, hearing aids, inks, surgical tape, rubber stamp making, and various other materials [11][12][13][14][15]. A thorough patient history is likely to uncover any exposure to these materials.…”
