Displacement of epoxy by water definitely plays an important role in the strength loss of metal/epoxy adhesion systems. However, there are also other mechanisms by which water can reduce the strength of the interfacial region. 

The original mass of water definition of the kilogram was created in 1799. It was replaced in 1901 when a specific artifact made of 90 percent platinum and 10 percent iridium alloy was created by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures as the standard for the kilogram. The kilogram is the only remaining physical unit of measurement that is defined by an actual object. 

Because water is so much a part of life, its properties are easy to take for granted. If you step back a bit and examine water scientifically, you will find that it is rmusual among the compounds found on Earth. Table 13.1 compares the physical properties of water against a group of molecules of similar mass. Look at the differences in physical state, melting point, and boiling point. Water definitely behaves differently from other small molecules. It is a imique substance.

Strong evidence has been presented (JO, 13, 18) that the sulfur pattern in the ESR spectra of irradiated proteins is caused by the —CH2—S- radicals formed from cystme. However, when ribonuclease is irradiated to 34 Mrads in the absence of air and subsequently dissolved in water, definitive chemical experiments (28) show no appreciable breaking of disulfide bridges. Possibly these apparently conflicting results might be reconciled by supposing that broken disulfide bridges (one per molecule) may rejoin in aqueous solution,...

On Co/silica catalysts, the FT product water, or water deliberately added to the feed gas, was found to increase the FT activity at low water partial pressures but to decrease the activity at high water partial pressures (60). At high water partial pressure conditions, the activity loss was permanent because of the formation of irreducible Co silicates (61). It has been reported that over a Co/titania catalyst, operating at low conversion, the addition of water also increased the FT activity (56). Others have found that at low conversions, water addition had little effect but at higher conversions, it resulted in a decrease in activity (62). The effect of water, at low levels, on the activity of the different Co catalysts is rather confusing but at higher levels (i.e., at high conversions), water definitely appears to result in the loss of catalyst activity. 

Dilution of the relatively high solids material can be carried out using deionised or distilled water, definitely not tap water.
