Abstract
The use of an organosilyl ester as an alkaline hydrolysis or erodability booster for the binder system of a paint formulation is described. The booster is used in paint formulations which require hydrolysis of one or more of the components of o the paint in use. The organosilylesters of the invention may also independently be film forming. The organosilyl ester may be the ester of a carboxylic, sulphonic or phosphoric acid. The binder systems of the invention can be used in paint compositions, such as self-polishing antifouling paints.
