Allergic contact dermatitis to accelerators in rubber gloves marketed as accelerator-free Keywords: accelerator-free; allergic contact dermatitis; carbamates; case report; hand eczema; rubber glove; thiurams; work-related EN accelerator-free allergic contact dermatitis carbamates case report hand eczema rubber glove thiurams work-related 65 68 4 06/12/23 20230701 NES 230701 Contact allergies to rubber accelerators used in the production of protective gloves, including thiurams, dithiocarbamates, benzothiazoles, and 1,3-diphenylguanidine are frequent in patients with work-related hand eczema, particularly in cleaning personnel, food handlers and healthcare workers.[[1]] To find suitable protective gloves for these individuals remains a challenge. Despite being marketed as accelerator-free, classified as medical device and labelled with EN 455-3, the analysis revealed that the selected "accelerator-free" glove SHIELDskin Orange Nitrile 300 contained three accelerators of which two were dithiocarbamates, explaining the positive patch test reaction to the glove in our patient.
