Abstract
Six vapour-phase corrosion inhibitors (VCI's) were examined for their antifungal properties, with the purpose of developing a combined inhibitor for controlling both fungal and corrosive deterioration of non-metallic and metallic materials, respectively, in one package or piece of equipment. m-Dinitrobenzene and two VCI papers (Indian Patent) completely inhibited the growth of all five fungi tested.
Of the others, some were effective against certain fungi only; others could control sporulation and pigmentation, but not fungal growth. Phenyl thiourea was completely ineffective.
