  • Title: Sensitization to epoxy resin systems in special flooring workers.
    Author: Condé-Salazar L, Gonzalez de Domingo MA, Guimaraens D.
    Journal: Contact Dermatitis; 1994 Sep; 31(3):157-60. PubMed ID: 7821008.
    Abstract:
    The use of new products in building and public works is increasing, among them being special floor coverings containing epoxy resins and derivatives. These are used principally in heavily frequented areas, such as shopping precincts, hospitals, civic centres, etc., due to their high resistance to wear and tear, environmental factors, etc. In the last 2 years, we have studied 15 cases of men sensitized to epoxy resin, or derivatives, who worked with special floorings. Speed of sensitization, severity of lesions, and localization to the hands, face and legs were characteristic.
