Ephemeral topical contact with hexanediol diacrylate and butanediol diacrylate may cause delayed irritant dermatitis. During 4 years' observation of 20 workers utilizing these substances in the electron beam coming department of a door factory, contact sensitization did not occur. The characteristics of delayed contact irritancy are enumerated. The disease must be distinguished from allergic contact dermatitis, acute irritant dermatitis and cumulative irritant dermatitis.
