Subject field(s)
  • Paints and Varnishes (Industries)
CONT

With the early organotin-based antifouling paints, the active ingredients were dispersed in the resinous matrix, the "paint" from which they "leached" into the seawater, killing barnacles and other marine life that had attached to the ship.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Peintures et vernis (Industries)
CONT

La matrice polymère entrant dans la formulation de la peinture a plusieurs rôles : liaison des particules conductrices et formation d'un film continu; adhérence du film de peinture sur le support; propriétés thermoplastiques ou thermodurcissables (résistance à la chaleur); résistance aux solvants; propriétés mécaniques (souplesse).

CONT

Les ingrédients actifs des premières peintures antisalissures à base d'organostanniques étaient dispersés dans la matrice résineuse et pénétraient dans l'eau de mer par lixiviation, tuant, ce faisant, les anatifes et autres organismes marins qui s'étaient fixés au navire.
