Table 2.
Average mass gain (wet and dry mass gain*) of CP Mg, AM50 and AZ91 after 96 h exposure at 95% RH and 22 °C, in the presence and absence of CO2.
| Sample condition | CO2 concentration (ppm) | Mass gain (µg/cm2) | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Material | ||||
| CP Mg | AM50 | AZ91 | ||
| Wet | 400 | 70 ± 5 | 165 ± 41 | 61 ± 6 |
| 0 | 52 ± 2 | 66 ± 7 | 40 ± 2 | |
| Dry | 400 | 15 ± 3 | 30 ± 8 | 4 ± 1 |
| 0 | 12 ± 4 | 18 ± 6 | 2 ± 0 | |
*Wet mass gain: Mass gain measured directly after the exposure ends. Dry mass gain: Mass gain measured after 24 h drying over a desiccant at room temperature and ambient pressure.
