Abstract:
The invention relates to a coating composition comprising a) seawater-hydrolyzable groups covalently linked to a polymer backbone, which seawater-hydrolyzable groups are capable of undergoing hydrolysis or ion-exchange when exposed to sea-water, rendering the polymer partially soluble or dispersible in seawater, and b) zwitterionic groups covalently linked to a polymer backbone wherein the polymer backbones to which the sea-water-hydrolyzable groups and the zwitterionic groups are attached serve as a film-forming binder in the coating composition, and wherein the molar ratio of the seawater-hydrolyzable groups a) to the zwitterionic groups b) is 0.1 or higher. The invention also relates to a method of providing a substrate with anti-fouling performance and to a coated substrate.

Claim (Index 10):
A method of providing a substrate with anti-fouling performance in an aqueous environment comprising the steps of\n a) applying the coating composition according to any one of the preceding claims to the substrate, b) allowing the coating composition to cure to form a coating layer, and c) locating the coated substrate in an aqueous environment.
