Silk printers/printing

The third case was reported by Isaac et al. (1992) and concerned a silk-screen printer who was allergic to butanediol diacrylate (BUDA), trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPTA), PETA, and the UV-curable ink. This woman worked in a pharmaceutical company. She printed labels on plastic bottles and so came in contact with UV-cured ink and developed a pruritic dermatitis involving the hands and eyelids. TMPTA and PETA were found in the UV-cured ink, but the relevance of BUDA could not be determined.
