Abstract
The sensitizing Capacity of 2,21‐ dihydroxydiphenyl methane (2,21 HPM). 4.41– dihydroxydiphenyl methane (4,41‐ HPM) and 2.41‐ dihydroxydiphenyl methane (2,41‐ HPM) was investigated with the guinea pig maximization test. These compounds are known contact sensitizers in phenol‐formaldehyde resins. The study was performed to assess and Compare their sensitizing capacities. A weak sensitizing capacity of 2,21‐ HPM was demonstrated when the results for 2 separate series were added while no sensitizing capacity was demonstrated for 4.41– HPM or 2,41‐HPM, The compounds tested were chromatographically pure.
