Abstract

Abstract. The article analyzes the composition of polyurethane glues used in footwear manufacturing technology, characterizes the components that have an irritating effect. In experimental conditions, the degree of development of the irritant effect of these adhesives was determined using the HET CAM test. It has been established that polyurethane glues contain components, the presence of which in the compound is manifested by a pronounced irritating effect. This determines the recommendations for the use of means of individual protection of workers' skin ay contact in industrial conditions.
