Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a tie-coat composition comprising one or more binder polymers obtainable by copolymerizing a mixture of ethylenically unsaturated monomers, wherein the tie-coat composition provides a tie-coat with good dry adhesion, freshwater adhesion and saltwater adhesion to topcoats based on resins with condensable silane groups such as polydiorganosiloxane resins with hydrolysable groups or organic resins with terminal and/or pendant alkoxysilyl groups. The present disclosure further relates to a process for controlling aquatic fouling on a surface of a man-made object comprising applying such tie-coat composition and a topcoat composition, and to a substrate coated with a tie-coat layer deposited from such tie-coat composition and a topcoat layer.
