Ethyl Methacrylate

Ethyl methacrylate is methacrylate monomer used to manufacture plastics. “Monomer” is a plastic compound.

Avoidance of ethyl methacrylate is necessary to prevent recurrent allergic contact dermatis. Cross-sensitization occurs among acrylates, which makes switching from one acrylate to another often unsuccessful in avoiding allergic contact dermatitis. Rubber gloves do not prevent penetration of acrylic monomers.

It is optimal to completely avoid exposure to the ingredients to which you are allergic. If you must be exposed to this acrylate (for example because of your job), you may try to wear nitrile gloves and change them every 10 minutes. Acrylates pass through nitrile gloves if they are worn for longer periods of time. Other gloves such as rubber latex gloves are less desirable since acrylates pass through them quickly.
