A ease of triphenyl phosphate allergy from spectacle frames is reported. Patch tests with analytical grade triphaenyl phosphate. tri‐ m ‐cresyl phosphate, and tri‐p‐cresyl phosphate in the concentrations 5%, 0.5% and 0.05% pet. showed positive reactions to 0.05% tripheny1 phosphate and 0.5% tri‐ m cresyl phosphate, but on reaction to tri‐ p ‐cresyl phosphate. Gas chromatography of the tricresyl phosphate 5% pet. pitch lest material supplied from Trolab showed that it contained a mixture of a wide range of triaryl phosphates, including 0.08% triphenyl phosphate which is above the threshold for detecting Triphenyl phosphate allergy in our patient.
