FOULING CONTROL COATING COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING POLYSILOXANE AND PENDANT HYDROPHILIC OLIGOMER/POLYMER MOIETIES

摘要

The present application discloses a fouling control cured paint coat comprising a polysiloxane- based binder matrix, said binder matrix having included as a part thereof pendant hydrophilic oligomer/polymer moieties. The application further discloses a marine structure comprising on at least a part of the outer surface thereof an outermost coating of the cured paint coat. Moreover, the application discloses the use of a polysiloxane component modified with pendant hydrophilic oligomer/polymer moieties for improving the antifouling properties of a polysiloxane based coating composition.
