The sensitizing potential of 2‐ethylhexyl acrylate in the guinea pig could be demonstrated by Freund's Complete Adjuvant Test. This acrylate ester is a common constituent of adhesive tape. Allergic reactions to several brands of adhesive tape were not observed in 2‐ethylhexyl acrylate sensitized animals. Cross reactions with other acrylic monomers were observed.
