Natural rubber has been the traditional material for elastomeric meat netting for many years and this has led to a number of studies into the levels of N-nitrosamines, nitrosatable and other compounds. Work carried out in the US A ° using a typical product produced from natural rubber latex contacted with a 50% ethanol simulant for 150 minutes at 152 °C produced the data shown in Table 12.5. [Pg.289]

Cohesives are essentially contact adhesives. Cohesives are water borne products typically formulated with natural rubber latex polymers modified with other polymers such as acrylics and acetate polymers to yield the necessary peel and block resistant properties. Cohesives are used for a wide variety of applications on various paper products and films particularly for confectionery packaging. [Pg.349]

Films of natural rubber latex were chlorinated with chlorine gas generated in situ from acidified hypochlorite solution at room temperature and characterised by FTIR/ ATR, SEM/EDX and contact angle measurements. The mechanism of the surface chlorination process of the films in aqueous solution is considered and the effect of chlorination on such properties as tackiness and hydrophilicity is discussed.

Table 1 gives a ranking list of the most common causes of occupational contact urticaria. The three most common causes are (1) cow dander, (2) natural rubber latex, and (3) flour, grains, feed and other foodstuffs. These three groups n = 985) comprised 82% of all cases of occupational contact urticaria during a 7-year period n = 1205). Contact urticaria from cow dander and natural rubber latex, as well as the total number of cases of contact urticaria, is much more common in women than in men (Kanerva et al. 1995b, 1996b).

Recently, contact dermatitis to natural rubber latex was also reported to present with features of erythema multiforme-like eruptions (Bourrain et al. 1996). Airborne erythema multiforme-like eruption was also reported in individuals exposed to pyrethrum (Garcia-Bravo et al. 1995). [Pg.276]

At the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health (FIOH) between 1974 and 1997, a total of 85 cases of allergic contact dermatitis were diagnosed in different kinds of painters, lacquerers, parquet installers and paint-factory workers. Synthetic resins caused 68 of the cases, 54 of them in paints, lacquers or raw materials of paints, 5 in floor coverings, 5 in car painters filling cements, 4 in parquet lacquers and one in a glue. The other agents included chromium, formaldehyde, cobalt, colophony, a mixture of isothi-azolinones, and rubber chemicals. No cases of type 1 sensitization to natural rubber latex were found.

Allergic contact dermatitis can be caused by epoxyresin compounds (Tarvainen et al. 1995), UP resin (Liden et al. 1984 Tarvainen et al. 1993a, 1995) and chemicals used as accelerators (cobalt) (Bourne and Milner 1963 Tarvainen et al. 1993b, 1995) or hardeners (organic peroxides) (Bourne and Milner 1963), as well as by p-tert-butylphenol formaldehyde resin (Tarvainen et al. 1993b) and various woods (Hausen and Adams 1990). Natural rubber latex in protective gloves has caused occupational contact urticaria (Tarvainen et al. 1993b). [Pg.845]

The causes of contact urticaria were natural rubber latex (8 cases), cellulase (3 cases) and other enzymes (2 cases), and decorative plants, unspecified flour, grains or feed, medications, rats, and unspecified agents (1 case each). The incidence of contact urticaria caused by natural rubber latex per 10,000 employed worker years in laboratory assistants was 1.0 (in all occupations 0.2) (Jolanki et al. 1998 and unpublished data). [Pg.989]

Kanerva et al. 1996). Natural rubber latex and laboratory animals are probably the most common causes of contact urticaria in the laboratory environment. Other types of noninfectious biological risk may include exposure to animal and plant proteins, e.g., flour, grains or feed, and decorative plants, and enzymes (Tarvainen et al. 1991). Contact urticaria from laboratory animals is more common in persons carrying out experiments with animals, e.g., laboratory technicians and chemists, than in those tending them. The former tasks involve more direct handling of the animals, their secretions, and their internal organs (Susitaival and Hannuksela 1997). [Pg.990]
