A positive patch test was observed in a male process worker in a paint factory, sensitized to an epoxy diacrylate (1,4-butanediol diacrylate) contained in raw materials of UV -light-curable paint. The positive reaction was probably due to a cross reactivity.

cross-linking monomer for use in inks, adhesives, textile product modifiers, photo resists, etc.

1,4-Butanediol diacrylate is the main material used to make polyurethanes, polyacrylates and polyimides. It is also used to generate polymer nanomaterials and nanocomposites. When heated, BDD polymerises to form stable cross-linked networks by reacting with other molecules, including amines and alcohols, through its acrylate groups. It can also be used to make hydrogels for the study of material properties and interactions. This compound is also useful in the fabrication of electroactive polymer films, whose unique electrical properties are of interest in the field of materials science.
