This article presents results of studying the fungal resistance of polysulfide and silicone sealants. The microorganism biodestructors from the surface of sealants were analyzed. It was shown that paint and lacquer coatings effectively protect polysulfide sealants from microbial destruction. In the case of silicone sealants, the most pronounced protective effect was reached using the addition of thiram as an antiseptic.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
