POLYMERS CONTAINING ORGANOTIN COMPOUNDS AND PAINT ON THE BASIS THEREOF

摘要

The invention concerns marine antifouling paints and tin-containing polymers suitable as binder in such paint. …The polymers are cyclized rubber containing phenolate groups bound to the skeleton through a carbon-carbon bond, wherein the phenolic oxygen is bound to a group SnR3 in which R is a hydrocarbon residue. …Such polymers can be used in paint which yields a top-coat that is self-polishing and remains smooth and free from fouling for a very long time.
