HYDROLYZABLE RESIN CONTAINING ALDEHYDE BONDED THERETO AND SELF-POLISHING ANTIFOULING PAINT

摘要

A vinyl polymer having a plurality of primary amino groups in the form of Schiff base in the molecule is used as the vehicle resin of a self-polishing antifouling paint. The coating film of an antifouling paint containing this vinyl polymer as the vehicle resin gradually releases the aldehyde which exhibits an antifouling effect from the Schiff base composed of the aldehyde and the primary amino group through hydrolysis with seawater, while the coating film gradually melts away from the surface.
