Results and discussion

Results of examinations:
All seven individuals reacted separately to both PETMP and 3-MPA.

Any other information on results incl. tables

Which of the two should be considered as the inducer of contact sensitization and which only as secondary allergen (cross reactor) remains unknown until human maximization tests have been performed with one of the individual substances in the rest of the industrial mixture.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
PETMP and 3-MPA were identified as sensitizing components in the Letterflex urethane photoprepolymer mixture.
