For all I know, the underlying adhesive chemistries (acrylic, silicone, polyuerethane, hydrocolloid, rubber, hydrogels, etc) play a crucial role for potential skin irritation.
Which skin adhesives and wet electrodes typically cause most severe skin reactions (allergies, itching, redness etc) during long-term wear (few days)? What is the influence of adhesive chemistries on skin reactions?

In my experience the ones with silver or nickel contained in either the adhesive or the gel have the most and highest reactivity. Some that contain nickel aren't even listed by the manufacturer because it is such a small amount. You can call the manufacturers and ask this.
