Resin d'etre
Article Abstract:
There is a general belief that most epoxy resin adhesives are dangerous and cause dermatitis. There are many available which are harmless. New health and safety regulations will require all formulators to supply technical data to users. Epoxy resin is made up of resin and hardner; it is the hardner which can cause dermatitis. This is caused through the absorption of the vapours through the skin. A reduction in vapour pressure can make the substance safe to handle. The formation of an 'adduct' reduces the viscosity and vapour pressure.

No ESOP Fable
Article Abstract:
Employee Stock Option Plans (ESOPs) are popular. ESOPs provide cheap financing for business. At the same time they provide workers with potential capital gains. Politically ESOPs are very popular since employees become part-owners of their companies. Legislation is now pending to provide tax breaks to companies who adopt ESOP programs.
