[EFFECT OF MICROSCOPIC FUNGI ON COMPONENT COMPOSITION OF RUBBER SCN-18].

Resistance to the action of microscopic fungi of the material SCN-18, which had been characterized by high resistance to microscopic fungi was idefenited. It has been noted that in the case of using of test cultures of fungi isolated from the rubber substrates, the intensity of damage of the SCN-18 was higher than in the case of using of species proposed by GOST 9.049-91. During 1-year trial of resistance to the action of microscopic fungi of SCN-18 it had been set decreasing of the amount of ester groups in the studied material, which indicated about gradual degradation of the plasticizer dibutylphthalate, which was included to the component composition of SCN-18.
