This is a common problem with some people since they have an allegric reaction to polymers. This is why some people have a reaction to latex gloves as well. I have also seen this problem with fabricators who cut engineered stone and resin granite.

a good friend of mine here locally , a terrazzo installer, had to quit the business because he developed a severe reaction whenever the epoxy was opened, he cannot be anywhere around it . He had a skin reaction as well. I would like to know more about this if you find out more.

Subject: [sccpartners] Terrazzo warning ----possibly

Hi all,

I am not 100% sure of the information I am about to give you but I wanted to send out the info for further review and to help prevent anybody from accidental injury.  A client of ours has a son in law who installs epoxy based terrazzo.  Apparently this son-in-law is currently out on leave because he and several of the co-workers ended up with horrible skin conditions due to a new chemical used in the terrazzo by the manufacturer and a law suit is pending.  Has anybody heard about this?  I would like to research and learn more.
