Background
Ethyl acrylate is a liquid acrylic monomer with a penetrating, acrid odor.
It polymerizes to form an odorless, transparent, elastic substance.
Koppula et al suggested that ethyl acrylate be used as screening allergen
for acrylate dermatitis with ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, 2-hydroxyethyl
acrylate, ethyl a cyanoacrylate, and triethylene glycol diacrylate. These
investigators felt that a common carboxy ethyl group was requisite but
not essential for alllergenicity. They found that ethyl acrylate was positive
in 91% of nail-acrylate-allergic patients and in 72% of total acrylate-allergic
patients. They stated that it would make a reasonable single-screening
allergen for acrylate sensitivity.
