A binder for a self polishing and/or antifouling coating composition comprising an oligomer or polymer composition, formed from at least 50% by weight of monomer units of a vinyl ester of versatic acid.

Binder for a self polishing antifouling coating

A coating composition comprising: i) a carboxylic acid; comprising one or more of rosin or a hydrogenated derivative thereof; ii) at least one metal oxide compound; iii) a dehydrating agent; and iv) one or more binder; characterized in that, in the production of the coating composition, the dehydrating agent iii) is contacted with either of component i) or i) prior to the addition of the other component i) or ii).

Coating composition

A primer coating composition for a metal substrate is described. The primer has a suitable binder and is characterized in that there is at least one semiconductor photocatalyst dispersed throughout the primer coating composition. A process of coating a metal substrate is also described. The invention extends to the use of a semiconductor photocatalyst as a top-coat to primer adhesion promoter or as a primer to top-coat delamination inhibitor in a primer coating composition.

Primer composition

A hydrolysable paint composition comprising organosilyl esters. The organosilyl esters are used in paint formulations which require hydrolysis of one or more of the components of the paint in use. The organosilylesters of the invention may also independently be film forming. The organosilyl ester may be the ester of a carboxylic, sulphonic or phosphoric acid. The binder systems of the invention can be used in paint compositions, such as self-polishing antifouling paints.

Silyl esters, their use in binder systems and paint compositions and a process for production thereof

A method of boosting alkaline hydrolysis or erodability of a hydrolysable paint formulation, the method comprising the step of adding an organosilyl ester to a binder system of a hydrolysable paint formulation. The booster is used in paint formulations which require hydrolysis of one or more of the components of the paint in use. The organosilylesters of the invention may also independently be film forming. The organosilyl ester may be the ester of a carboxylic, sulphonic or phosphoric acid. The binder systems of the invention can be used in paint compositions, such as self-polishing antifouling paints.

Silyl esters, their use in binder systems and paint compositions and a process of production thereof

The present invention provides a process for the preparation of poly(silyl ester)s comprising a structural unit of the formula (I) wherein the process comprises the step of reacting a polyacid of formula (II) with a polyacyloxysilyl derivative of formula (III) while removing the formed acid group(s) of formula RZ(O)OH (IV).
