[Microbial settlement of paint- and building-materials in the sphere of drinking water. 8. Communication: Experimental examination of epoxy resin in laboratory tests (author's transl)].
Different observations in potable water reservoirs with epoxy resins induced us to investigate some paintings. Commercial products of known and unknown constituents were tested. Some commercial products recommended for the use in potable water sphere produced microbial slime while others didn't. Solvents, accelerators and even both of the building compounds of the epoxy resin, if they are not used in the stoichiometric mixing ratio, may produce microbial slime. The temperature of preparation has an important influence on the slime formation.
