“…The same car cements are also used in other industrial trades: for example, in mould manufacturing, they are used to fill out small holes or imperfections in the mould surface. A total of 6 car painters and 2 mould manufacturers with contact allergy to polyester cements have been previously reported by the FIOH (3,4). Diethyleneglycol maleate (DEGM) was identified as the causative allergen in 2 of the 6 painters (4,19).…”

Two product types are of particular importance in contact allergy to polyester resin: powder paints cured by heat with TGIC as the cross-linker, and car putties. Car putties are used not only in repair car painting, but also in some industrial trades to smoothen surfaces before painting. As commercial patch test substances of polyester resin putties are lacking, patients' own products need to be tested. Cobalt salts are used in several types of polyester resin product as accelerators, and these must be considered as a possible cause of cobalt sensitization.

“…Polyester fiber bears the property of high st rengt h, good wear-resistance and high elast icit y, which can be used for automobile, interior decorat ion and industrialized field [28,29]. Based on the kinetic behavior of mechanical and thermal of polyester matrix composites, the alkalized fibre compsites turn out to have higher dynamic modulus values in accordance with higher flexural modulus [30].…”

Because of near-infrared spectroscopy is a very rapid and non-destructive method for the simultaneous measurement on different constituents in the resin matrix polymer composite. This strategy has been applied in the synthesis of the resin matrix polymer composites. In this paper, we mainly review the control of curing reaction kinetics of the phenolic, epoxy resin, polyester resin, polyurethane, and other polymer resin based of NIR spectra, which is important to control the quality of the resin matrix polymer composites in the synthesis.

Unsaturated polyester (UP) cement caused allergic contact dermatitis in car repair work. The resin was a condensate of polyols and maleic anhydride with reactive solvent, auxiliary substances, and inorganic reinforcement substances. To identify the causative chemicals, the cement was tested on a sensitized patient. For analysis, samples of the resin were eluted with acetone and eluted with hexane to precipitate inorganic material and large polyester molecules. The eluate was evaporated. The remainder, dissolved in acetone, was separated into fractions on silica plates by thin layer chromatography (TLC). On the developed (hexane/chloroform, 15/85) plates, 20 bands were obtained under UV-light at 254 nm. Samples of the bands were scraped and used for patch testing. The scraping at a retention factor (Rf) of 0.24 caused a skin reaction. The bands at this retention were removed from six plates, combined, eluted with acetone and purified again by TLC. The purified fraction mixed in petrolatum in the dilution series was used for conclusive patch testing on the patient. An allergic reaction was induced at down to 0.003% wt/wt. According to MS and IR analyses, the isolated compound was diethyleneglycol maleate (DEGM, MW204). In addition to the resin part, the sanding dust also contained this monomer.
