Abstract
Abstract A non-corrosive anti-fouling polymerisable composition for coating or forming a structure to be immersed in water and subject to infestation of aquatic flora and fauna characterized in that it comprises a polyester resin based upon isophthalic, orthophthalic, tetrahydrophthalic or terephthalic acid and up to 25% by weight based on resin content of a toxic agent which is a cupric, mercuric or stannic compound or a mixture thereof, and optionally sufficient colloidal silica to produce a gel.
