Système à copolymères autopolissants. L'eau de mer hydrolyse le liant à copolymères, libérant lentement, à un taux contrôlé, le biocide du tributylétain et la résine à copolymères. Des performances antisalissures uniformes sont obtenues tout au long de la vie de la peinture. Les peintures autopolissantes à base de tributylétain remportèrent naturellement - et continuent de connaître- un énorme succès auprès de l'industrie des transports maritimes. 1, record 1, French, - peinture%20autopolissante%20%C3%A0%20base%20de%20tributyl%C3%A9tain

Because of concerns regarding the impact of TBT [tributyltin] on the aquatic environment, Canada and many other countries limited application of TBT antifouling paints to vessels greater than 25 m in length and to vessels (of any length) with aluminum hulls, the latter because many non-tin alternatives contain forms of copper which can cause corrosion of aluminum hulls. 5, record 2, English, - tributyltin%20antifouling%20paint
