SYNTHESIS OF ZINC ACRYLATE COPOLYMER

摘要

Disclosed is a composition containing zinc ester functional polymer and particulate copper pyrithione, wherein the particles have an average aspect ratio within a range of from about 8 to about 15, where the zinc ester functional polymer and the copper pyrithione are obtained by reacting an acid functional polymer with zinc pyrithione and a copper salt or a copper carboxylate. Also disclosed is an antifouling coating containing such a composition.
