Dermatitis from UV acrylate in adhesive.
An employee developed unusual linear bullae and dermatitis of the forearms while formulating UV curable resins for a sanitary napkin adhesive. Patch tests to work contactants showed sensitivity to tetraethylene glycol diacrylate only. The remainder of the reactions were irritant. Resin contamination of a "rest-bar" against which the employee leaned with his forearms contributed to the artifactual appearance of his lesions.

Hypopigmentation from UV resin additive.
An employee formulating a UV-resin based vehicle developed hypopigmentation limited to the forearms without preceding overt dermatitis. Manual procedures in an automatic process provided opportunity for exposure and contact to various components. A nonresin additive, quinone, alone or in conjunction with a likely contaminant, hydroquinone, was the suspected agent. Patch tests to quinone caused severe irritation. Reactions to acrylic components were not felt to be directly pertinent.
