Friday, 15 July 2011
A protective coating applied to the underwater portion of a marine vessel is operable to inhibit the growth of marine foulants.
A new marine antifoulant coating was patented. This protective coating applied to the underwater portion of a marine vessel is operable to inhibit the growth of marine foulants. The coating comprises a polymer, a marine biocide, a preservative, and optionally an antimicrobial agent. In certain embodiments, the marine biocide, preservative, and optional antimicrobial agent are chemically bonded with the polymer thereby significantly reducing the ability of the biocide, preservative, and antimicrobial agent to leach from the coating into the surrounding environment.
