Claims4
A method of preventing marine fouling which comprises applying to a surface to be protected from fouling, an anti-fouling hydrolyzable resin composition consisting essentially of a resin selected from the group consisting of an acrylic resin, a polyester resin and an epoxy resin and an organic solvent in which the resin is soluble, wherein said resin has at least one side chain bearing at least one terminal group of the formula:
- --X--O--M--
- --X--O--M--R].sub.x
- wherein X represents ##STR12## M is copper;
- x is an integer of 1 to 2;
- R represents an organic acid residue selected from the group consisting of ##STR13## and R.sub.1 is a monovalent organic residue, and the metal content of said resin is 0.3 to 20% by weight of the resin.
