Background
Ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate is a cross-linking methacrylic monomer.
Koppula et al has suggested that ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate should
be used as a screening allergen for acrylate dermatitis along with ethyl
acrylate, 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 allergenicity.
