Fungal Resistance or Susceptibility of Resins, Plasticizers, and other Constituents of Adhesive Formulations

摘要

Studies were performed to develop a database for the microbial resistance or susceptibility of adhesives used by the military. Commercial and GSA formulations and bases were evaluated by plate testing, and this report identifies those adhesives and constituents that were resistant or susceptible within the categories that were used to classify these materials. Adhesive components were identified by the type of resin used, that is, elastomeric, thermoplastic or thermosetting, natural, etc., or as a constituent such as a plasticizer or filler, etc. Additionally, a list of biocides used for adhesives has been provided.
