Dynamic and Statis Exposure Tests and Evaluations of Alternative Copper-Based Antifoulant Coatings
Abstract
Nine commercial and experimental paint systems were tested and evaluated for the five years between August 1988 and July 1993 in a dynamic/static cycle test. The F-121 Navy standard paint, a non-ablative coating, served as control. Two other non-ablative coatings were included: M-121, a modified F-121 formula, and Devoe F-214. Devoe ABC-3, a non-ablative copper coating using coper flakes instead of the customary copper salts as biocide. Three paint systems:International SPC-245, Devoe ABC-2, and PETTIT contained organotin and Cu2O as biocides and served as additional reference paints for evaluation.
