Materials may produce a growth of microorganisms by contact with water. Pipes and hoses with a narrow diameter have not yet been tested on their influence on the microbial colonization of the water. A harmful change has been discussed especially in dental treatment units. Pipes and hoses were tested in their influence on the microbial growth for half a year. Glass, high grade steel, copper and PTFE showed no increase in microorganisms or only a little in the beginning. The other tested materials, PVC, PE, PA, silicon and rubber, produced an intensive microbial growth.
材料通过与水接触可能会促使微生物生长。直径较窄的管道和软管对水中微生物定殖的影响尚未经过测试。尤其在牙科治疗设备中，有害变化已被讨论过。对管道和软管影响微生物生长的情况进行了为期半年的测试。玻璃、优质钢、铜和聚四氟乙烯未显示微生物增加，或仅在开始时有少量增加。其他测试材料，如聚氯乙烯、聚乙烯、聚酰胺、硅和橡胶，则产生了大量的微生物生长。
