“…This study highlights occupational sensitization to acrylates in dentistry and printing/lithography 3-6. In addition, gearbox testers (3 of the 4 in the same factory, testing acrylate-sealed gearboxes) and gas workers (all involved in maintenance, manufacture, or repair of gas appliances, using adhesives or sealants) were identified as sensitized (7)(8)(9)(10)(11).…”

“…Their occupation is therefore associated with a high risk of sensitization (15,16). Contact with unpolymerized monomers may also be the cause of allergic contact dermatitis in handlers of anaerobic sealants (17,18). Anaerobic sealants are liquid monomers that rapidly polymerize to solids in the absence of oxygen (4,9).…”

Acrylate-based products are widely utilized in the industrialized world and in the domestic environment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and sources of occupational contact sensitization to acrylates in a selected population. Between January 1987 and April 1992, 82 patients suspected of occupational acrylic sensitization were patch tested with the GIRDCA standard series and an extensive acrylate series. Over this 5-year period, we detected sensitization to acrylates in 13.4% of cases. Dental materials and anaerobic sealants were the most important sources of acrylate sensitization. Among acrylic monomers, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate was the most frequent contact sensitizer in our study. Acrylate additives were also important sources of contact dermatitis in our patients. Although the clinical picture of airborne contact dermatitis due to acrylates has rarely been reported in the literature, it was commonly observed in our patients.

“…They are based on polyethylene glycol dimethacrylates (PEGDMA, Fig. 1), where n in this formula has been stated to be usually 4 (8), though one manufacturer informed us that PEGDMA contained about 40% triethyleneglycol dimethacrylate (TREGDMA), i.e., n =3 (10). In our previous study, an anaerobic glue which, according to the material safety data sheet (MSDS), contained about 70% TREGDMA, actually comprised 13% TREGDMA and 58% larger oligoethyleneglycol dimethacrylates (3).…”
