Abstract
Abstract Compositions for protecting materials from growth of postiferous organisms, and particularly for protecting marine surfaces from fouling organisms, are formed from precursors having the formula ##STR1## where m is from 1 to about 10, where each X is independently selected from the group consisting of alkyl and alkoxyalkyl radicals containing less than about 6 carbon atoms and Y, where Y has the formula ##STR2## where R 1 , R 2 and R 3 are independently selected from the group consisting of alkyl, cycloalkyl, and aryl radicals, where R 1 , R 2 and R 3 contain in combination up to about 18 carbon atoms. The ratio of the tin atoms to silicon atoms in the precursors is at least about 1:50. The precursors can be directly used as an additive for coatings. The precursors can also be used by subjecting them to hydrolysis and polycondensation to form an organotin substituted polysiloxane for use as an additive and a binder for coatings.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
171 words
A one-package system for preparing an antifouling coating for marine surfaces comprising: (a) a hydrolyzable siloxane for forming a solid binder, the siloxane having the formula: ##STR20## where m is from 1 to about 10, where each X is independently selected from the group consisting of alkyl and alkoxyalkyl radicals containing less than about 6 carbon atoms and Y, where Y has the formula: ##STR21## where R 1 , R 2 , and R 3 are independently selected from the group consisting of alkyl and cycloalkyl radicals, where R 1 , R 2 , and R 3 contain in combination up to about 18 carbon atoms, the siloxane in the kit being capable of hydrolysis and cross-linking polycondensation to form a solid film, and where the X's are selected so the ratio of tin atoms to silicon atoms in the siloxane is from about 1:50 to about 2:5; (b) an acid source of protons sufficient to create an acid condition; and (c) a filler nondeleteriously reactive with the source of protons.
