Because of their irreplaceable lubricating properties mineral oils are used in many production branches. They are employed as lubricating and cutting oils (refrigerating emulsions). The dermotropic effect of mineral oils is caused by their varied chemical composition. Their common effect is irritating, photodynamic, keratoplastic, acnegenic, infectious and rarely cancerogenic. The allergogenie potency of mineral oils is weak, added substances being responsible for the allergic reactions. The authors recorded allergy to metalworking fluid with manifestation of occupational allergic contact eczema caused by the additive nonylphenolethoxylate ofthe nonoxynol-6 type. Nonylphenolethoxylates are surface active substances with many uses. Undiluted they may irritate the skin, there being few references on allergies. Epicutaneous tests revealed allergic reaction to metalworking fluid and to 2%, 1% and 0.1% aqueous solution of nonylphenolethoxylate. Tests in 10 control subjects were negative. Data on contact allergy to nonylphenolethoxylate were not published so far in this country.
