GAVIOLA, S  and  LOPEZ AGUERO, L C. Professional dermatosis for epoxy resin: A clinical case report. Rev. argent. dermatol. [online]. 2008, vol.89, n.2, pp.82-86. ISSN 1851-300X.

We describe a case of professional dermatosis caused by exposition to plastic products (epoxy resin) and importance of early detection. The epoxy resins are widely used in all types of industries (graphics arts, construction, electronics, traumathological and odontological prothesis, etc.) and their components may be the cause of contact dermatitis and sensitivity. Risk factors at work with epoxy resins are present during the production base resins, hardening agents, plasticizers and dilutants increase the risk of exposition at work. This requires preventive measures and early diagnosis.
