Abstract
We present a 43-year-old man who worked in the plastics industry and w ho suffered from an occupational dermatitis on the hands and forearms. He was found to be allergic to an epoxy silane compound that was cont aminated with allyl glycidyl ether, a reactive epoxy diluent. HPLC ana lysis and patch testing indicated that this impurity was probably the only sensitizer. Moreover, the gloves used provided absolutely no prot ection, as the inner side also generated strong positive reactions.
