ANTIFOULING BIO-PAINT COMPRISING EXTRACTS OF MACROALGAE THAT ATTRACT EPIBIONT BACTERIA AND ACTIVE EXTRACTS OF BACTERIA WITH ANTIFOULING PROPERTY

摘要

The present invention relates to an antifouling bio-paint comprising a two-barrier protection system. The paint comprises extracts of macroalgae that attract epibiont bacteria, with anti-micro-fouling activity, and active extracts of bacteria with antifouling property, the extracts being immobilised in a polymer matrix. The bio-paint is used on inert surfaces exposed to seawater, principally nets for use in aquaculture, pipelines, and boat hulls.
