Antifouling coating composition comprising lactone compounds, method for protecting aquatic structures, and articles protected against fouling organisms
First Claim
1. A marine or freshwater antifoulant composition comprising a material selected from the group consisting of film-forming polymer, cementitious material, elastomeric material, and vulcanized rubber and an amount of an antifouling agent admixed with said material and effective to be released from said material at an antifouling effective level, said antifouling agent consisting of at least one gamma lactone compound having a formula selected from the group consisting of ##STR3## wherein R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R7, R8, R9, R10, R11, R12, and R13 are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen or (C1 -C10) alkyl.
