Partially unsaturated triorganotin compounds for use in biocidal paint

摘要

Triorganotin toxicants are disclosed that are made of mixed saturated and unsaturated four-carbon chains with double bonds at C-1 and C-3. Incorporation of these compounds into random 50:50 copolymers of methacrylic acid and methylmethacrylate produces copolymer compositions that may be used as antifouling coatings for ship hulls. Methods for manufacturing the triorganotin toxicants and the copolymer compositions are also disclosed.
