Occupational allergic contact dermatitis from anaerobic acrylic sealants.

ABSTRACT

Anaerobic sealants are acrylates that polymerize in the absence of oxygen. They are used principally in the engineering and electronic industries. Their use can cause occupational dermatitis in the workers who handle them. In this work, we report our experience with 6 patients who presented with allergic contact dermatitis to these sealants.
