  • Publication number: 20160083592
    Abstract: The present application discloses a silicone-based fouling-release coat comprising a polysiloxane-based binder matrix constituting at least 40% by dry weight of said coat, wherein more than 65% by weight of said the binder matrix is represented by polysiloxane parts, said binder matrix of said coat having included as a part thereof zwitterionic moieties and/or said coat comprising one or more zwitterionic compounds. In some embodiments, the coat further comprises one or more active ingredients selected from biocides and enzymes, in particular biocides. The application also relates to corresponding coating compositions (paints), coating systems and to the use of the combination of constituents having included one or more zwitterionic functionalities and one or more active ingredients selected from biocides and enzymes, for improving the antifouling properties of a polysiloxane based coating composition.

  • Publication number: 20140242403
    Abstract: The present application discloses novel self-polishing antifouling paint compositions comprising: 30-80% by solids volume of the paint composition of a binder phase; 20-70% by solids volume of the paint composition of a pigment phase, said pigment phase including solid particles consisting of one or more rosin constituents (e.g. rosin, rosin derivatives or rosin-modified polymers) entrapped or encapsulated in a matrix (e.g. a silica such as a silica aerogel); and optionally one or more solvents.

  • Publication number: 20140134146
    Abstract: The present application discloses a fouling release cured paint coat comprising a polysiloxane-based binder matrix constituting at least 40% by dry weight of the coat, and one or more enzymes. The application further discloses a kit for preparing a fouling release coat, a coating composition comprising a polysiloxane-based binder system comprising one or more polysiloxane components modified with hydrophilic oligomer/polymer moieties, and one or more enzymes, and a coating composition comprising a polysiloxane-based binder system, 0.01-20% by dry weight of one or more hydrophilic-modified polysiloxane oils, and one or more enzymes.

  • Publication number: 20140135422
    Abstract: The present application discloses a fouling control cured paint coat comprising a polysiloxane-based binder matrix and one or more biocides, said binder matrix having included as a part thereof hydrophilic oligomer/polymer moieties, wherein the weight ratio between the hydrophilic oligomer/polymer moieties and the one or more biocides is in the range 1:0.02 to :20, and wherein ?50% of the binder system is polysiloxane parts. 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 the combination of one or more polysiloxane components modified with hydrophilic oligomer/polymer moieties and one or more biocides, wherein the weight ratio between the hydrophilic oligomer/polymer moieties and the one or more biocides is in the range 1:0.02 to :20, for improving the antifouling properties of a polysiloxane based coating composition.
