Abstract:
Dermatitis caused by exposure to epoxy resin compounds was observed in the 1950s, shortly after epoxy resins were introduced. Following a description of the chemistry and the use of epoxy compounds, the authors discuss delayed and immediate allergic epoxy dermatitis and irritant epoxy dermatitis as well as factors such as exposure and skin testing.
