Abstract

Abstract Paint compositions to be used for preventing deposition of organisms on marine structures or fishingnets used in the sea contain, as a vehicle, polymers obtained by polymerizing at least one of the unsaturated acid ester monomers shown by the general formula R.sub.1 OOC--CX═CY--COOR.sub.2 wherein R 1 and R 2 are alkyl groups having 1-4 carbon atoms, and X and Y are hydrogen, alkyl groups having 1 or 2 carbon atoms or halogen, or copolymerizing the unsaturated acid ester monomers having the above described formula with unsaturated monomers copolymerizable therewith. The coating film of the paint compositions has a high strength and a moderate solubility in sea water and exhibits a very high antifouling activity for a long period of time.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim 90 words
Antifouling paints containing as a vehicle polymers having a weight average molecular weight of 1,000-100,000 obtained by polymerizing at least one of the unsaturated acid ester monomers shown by the general formula R.sub.1 OOC--CX═CY--COOR.sub.2 wherein R 1 and R 2 are alkyl groups having 1-4 carbon atoms, and X and Y are hydrogen, alkyl groups having 1 or 2 carbon atoms, or halogen, or by copolymerizing a major amount of the unsaturated acid ester monomers having the said formula with ethylenically unsaturated monomers free of free carboxyl and hydroxyl groups.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 90 words
Antifouling paints containing as a vehicle polymers having a weight average molecular weight of 1,000-100,000 obtained by polymerizing at least one of the unsaturated acid ester monomers shown by the general formula R.sub.1 OOC--CX═CY--COOR.sub.2 wherein R 1 and R 2 are alkyl groups having 1-4 carbon atoms, and X and Y are hydrogen, alkyl groups having 1 or 2 carbon atoms, or halogen, or by copolymerizing a major amount of the unsaturated acid ester monomers having the said formula with ethylenically unsaturated monomers free of free carboxyl and hydroxyl groups.
