Contact allergy to the UV‐absorber Tinuvin P in plastics

Abstract
Contact allergy to the UV‐absorber 2‐(2‐hydnxy‐5‐methylphenyl)bezotriazole (Tinuvin P) was revealed in a patient with wrist dermatitis caused by a plastic watch strap. A high‐performance liquid chromatography method was developed and subsequent chemical analysis showed the presence of Tinuvin P in the watch strap. The possibility of cross‐reactions between Tinuvin P and various substituted benzotriazole compounds was investigated. No cross‐reactions were found.
