Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
86 words
An antifouling coating composition for submergible articles comprising a polymer selected from a vinyl acetate homopolymer; a vinyl acetate-acrylic copolymer; a vinyl acetate-ethylene copolymer; and an acrylic polyvinyl chloride copolymer; and a non-metallic algicide consisting essentially of a quaternary ammonium compound having methyl groups and two alkyl groups alone or in combination with a second quaternary ammonium compound having methyl groups, an alkyl group and a benzyl group, said algicide being encapsulated in said polymer and being capable of being leeched from said composition during submersion.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
