“…The requirements needed for an optimal antifouling coating are outlined in Table 6 and additional factors that need to be considered include its life cycle parameters and measurable effectiveness [103] which incorporate toughness, erosion and release of the antifouling compound [53,104]. An innovative way to achieve the latter is to use microencapsulation techniques as this allows a controlled release, permitting the worklife of the protective coating to be increased.…”

Marine structures such as platforms, jetties and ship hulls are subject to diverse and severe biofouling. Methods for inhibiting both organic and inorganic growth on wetted substrates are varied but most antifouling systems take the form of protective coatings. Biofouling can negatively affect the hydrodynamics of a hull by increasing the required propulsive power and the fuel consumption. This paper reviews the development of antifouling coatings for the prevention of marine biological fouling. As a result of the 2001 International Maritime Organization (IMO) ban on tributyltin (TBT), replacement antifouling coatings have to be environmentally acceptable as well as maintain a long life. Tin-free self-polishing copolymer (SPC) and foul release technologies are current applications but many alternatives have been suggested. Modern approaches to environmentally effective antifouling systems and their performance are highlighted.

“…In the other type, the resin releases the toxic species into the water column by leaving the matrix intact. The concentration of toxic species, leaching rate, and nature of the toxic element determine the efficiency of antifouling paint and its lifespan (Fisher et al, 1984;Preiser et al, 1984). The commercially used toxic species are copper thiocyanate, copper powder, cuprous oxide, and more recently organotin compounds such as tributyl tin oxide (TBTO), tributyl tin fluride (TBTF), and triphenyl tin fluride (TPTF) , and triphenyl lead acetate (TPLA) (Nair, 1999).…”

The process of the attachment and growth of organisms on artificial solid surfaces is called biofouling. Biofouling organisms commonly undergo successive changes before a stable community is established. Microfouling organisms composed of bacteria, microalgae, and protozoa together with their exudates constitute the biofilm. Microfouling leads to macrofouling, which is the growth of larger fouling organisms. This problem has been recognized from decades ago; however, a long lasting and environmentally friendly antifouling strategy still eludes us. Among the prevailing preventive strategies, antifouling coatings based on organometallic or inorganic toxic species are used to protect ships and offshore platforms, while components of cooling water systems are protected by injecting biocides into the water column. A comprehensive account of the evolution of the biofouling community, factors controlling its formation, expenses incurred, and common antifouling strategies followed with their merits and demerits are described in this review.
