Abstract

The problem under consideration is the fungus resistance of polymeric construction composites and their components: epoxy and polyester binders, as well as mineral waste in the form of dust from electric precipitators and metallurgical slag. It has been found that epoxy and polyester binders in unfilled and fully hardened state are not fungus resistant. But polymer composites completely filled both with mineral waste and mentioned above binders proved to be fungus resistant. It has been confirmed that the fungus resistance of polymer composites is determined both by the type of the binder and the type of the filler. To increase the fungus resistance of epoxy and polyester composites, the use of microadditives of tetraethoxysilane and Irganox 1010 has been proposed. It has been established that the addition of tetraethoxysilane and Irganox 1010 promotes the increase in fungus resistance of epoxy and polyester composites.
