Contact dermatitis due to Nyloprint.
The Nyloprint process is becoming more frequently used in Great Britain. We report a case of contact dermatitis in a 60-year-old man who was employed in the production of Nyloprint formes. The process is described in detail. Patch tests showed him to be very sensitive to an acrylamide derivative, which is used as a monomer in this process.
