Eric,
A company named Excel used to produce an epoxy resin called Safe-T-Poxy or Epolite. The epoxy was advertized to be hypo-alergenic. I think that was the term they used. The epoxy was supposed to have a different chemical makeup which eliminated or greatly reduced the possibility of alergic reaction. It was a very dark amber color and a 5 to 1 by volume mix ratio.
I don't know why Hexcel no longer produces the resin system. They have replaced it with E-Z Poxy but they don't advertize it to have the same hypo-alergenic properties.
