From a vinyl jockey with 30 yrs under my belt: I'm in a highway safety shop these days, and we recently decided to try Grimco's Briteline. As soon as I started cutting it the smell of it degassing as it was moving gave me a headache and a sore throat feeling, as well as a general itchiness all over and slight burning on the palms of my hands after handling it. It's been 4 days of using it and I'm still experiencing the skin issues, only while here at work. Whatever it is, I'm picking up on the vinyl side, not the adhesive. I can't say I have ever had this reaction to any of the chemicals/products we regularly come into contact with in this business, despite having an existing latex allergy. Anyone else hear/experience this sort of reaction?
There is very little information for our industry out on the internet for this subject, I figure it might be best to ask you guys directly.
