A tri-organotin silatrane derivative represented by the general formula (I) ##STR1## wherein the R.sup.1 groups are identical or different and each represents an alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl or aralkyl group, R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are identical or different and each represents a hydrogen atom or a lower alkyl group, and m is a number of 2 or 3. The tri-organotin silatrane derivatives of the formula (I) are prepared by subjecting a 1-mercaptoalkylsilatrane and a tri-organotin hydroxide or bis(tri-organotin) oxide to a dehydration reaction, or reacting a 1-mercaptoalkylsilatrane derivative with a tri-organotin halide in the presence of a dehydrohalogenation agent, or subjecting a trialkoxysilane and a trialkanolamine to an ester-interchange reaction in the presence of an alkaline catalyst. The tri-organotin silatrane derivatives of the formula (I) are useful for an agricultural-horticultural pesticide, an industrial fungicide, an epidemic-preventing insecticide or an antifouling agent.

Tri-organotin silatrane derivatives and pesticidal compositions,

An antifouling agent comprising as an antifouling component a substantially linear triorganotin-containing copolymer containing (a) at least one kind of N-coordinated triorganotin-containing recurring units of the formula (Ia) or (Ib) represented in the specification and (b) comonomer recurring units derived from at least one ethylenic vinyl compound as a comonomer. The antifouling agent is applied to a structure which is needed to be protected from fouling organisms to form a film of the copolymer on the structure.

Antifouling agent

A curable epoxy resin composition comprising an epoxy resin and a reactive diluent, at least 60% by weight of the total amount of said reactive diluent consisting of a specific etherified polyepichlohydrin monoglycidyl ether and/or etherified polymethylepichlorohydrin monoglycidyl ether. The above etherified product is prepared by addition-polymerizing 2 to 10 mols of a compound selected from the group consisting of epichlorohydrin and methylepichlorohydrin with a monohydric phenol or alcohol and treating the resulting addition polymer with an alkaline substance.
