Allergic contact sensitization to Epoxide 7 in grinding oil.
Contact dermatitis is reported in three out of four machine tool setters working with a grinding oil containing Epoxide 7 and a polyamine antirust additive. Positive patch test reactions to Epoxide 7 were obtained in two of three men and to the polyamine antirust additive in all three. Patch tests with the same dilutions of easch additive in controls were negative. Epoxide 7 has since been replaced in the formulation by a technical alternative.
