Abstract
A coated article for foul release for use in aquatic applications does not require a discrete tie-layer to ensure adhesion of a coating to a substrate. An adhesion promoting layer comprising an anticorrosive material and a bonding agent is applied directly to the substrate. A release layer comprising organopolysiloxane is deposited onto the adhesion promoting layer. A method for applying the foul release coating comprises the following steps: applying an adhesion promoting layer, curing the adhesion promoting layer, applying the release layer and curing the release layer.
