Estimating the term…
A method of boosting alkaline hydrolysis or erodability of a hydrolysable paint formulation, the method comprising the step of adding an organosilyl ester to a binder system of a hydrolysable paint formulation. The booster is used in paint formulations which require hydrolysis of one or more of the components of 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.
A method of boosting alkaline hydrolysis or erodability of a hydrolysable paint formulation, the method comprising the step of adding an organosilyl ester of a carboxylic, sulphonic or phosphoric acid other than rosin to a binder system of a hydrolysable paint formulation wherein the carboxylic, sulphonic or phosphoric acid part of the organosilyl ester is saturated at the alpha carbon, wherein the hydrolysable paint formulation includes a marine biocide.
