Notes:
Three patients employed in the manufacture of plastic tennis rackets developed allergic contact dermatitis to isophorone diamine (IPD), an epoxy resin hardener, and con-comitantly to epoxy resin.Patch tests were positive to IPD at 1, 2 and 5 % in olive oil and to IPD at 1, 2 and 5 % in ethanol.Investigations were conducted in control subjects to confirm the allergic nature of reactions. A review of the literature about IPD and related compounds is presented.
