United States1anti-fungal properties to prevent growth of fungi frequentlypresent on the gluing equipment, on adherends, or in theadhesive as applied.4.2 Potato dextrose agar (PDA) provides a complete

16、me-dium for the growth of fungi, while mineral salts agar (MSA)lacks a carbohydrate source and provides a less favorablemedium. Use of PDA tests the adhesive film for its ability toresist the growth of fungi on its surface as well as its ability torepel a copious growth of fungi on the adjacent agar

17、 surface.Use of MSA tests the adhesive film primarily for its ability toresist the growth of fungi on its surface. When it is used, thereis a reduced possibility that the growth from the agar will bemis-read as coming from the adhesive film, since fungalgrowth on the adjacent agar will be scant.NOTE

18、 2The method given here using the MSA is based on PracticeG21, adapted to be used with adhesives. Requirements to meet theapproval of government specifications are the use of the MSA describedin 10.2, and a mixed species of fungi described in 8.2 for the inoculum.4.3 The results obtained when using

19、the procedures given inthis method apply only to the species used for the testing. Thetest species listed in Section 8 are frequently used by labora-tories to test for antifungal properties, but they are not the onlyones which could be used. Selection of the fungal species totest against requires in

20、formed judgment by the testing labora-tory or by the party requesting the tests. These methods areespecially useful when species that have been isolated fromcontaminated adhesives are used as the test species (seeSection 8) to aid in the selection of more effective fungicides.4.4 The efficacy of som

21、e biocides may change in storagedue to the chemical and thermal environment to which they aresubjected as components of certain adhesives. These testmethods are not appropriate for determining the effect offungal contamination on adhesives under water-soakingconditions, because they are not designed

22、 to cover the possi-bility of water-soluble biocides leaching out of the bond line.4.5 These test methods are dependent upon the physiologi-cal action of living microorganisms under a reported set ofconditions. Conclusions about the resistance of the test adhe-sive to fungal attack can be drawn by c

23、omparing the results tosimultaneously run controls of known resistance. See X5.2 forstatements regarding test repeatability.5.

29、loy live cultures of fungi, some of which are capable ofcausing disease or allergic reaction in some humans. Useproper microbiological procedures in order to prevent contami-nation of the cultures or of the work area. Disinfect andsterilize in an approved manner all spills and all equipmentcoming in
