Robust, Nontoxic, Antifouling Polymer.

Abstract

A robust, nontoxic, antifouling coating and bulk material and process for making the same are disclosed. The antifouling coating comprises a basecoat formed typically from a polyol and a polyiisocyanate wherein a molar excess of polyiisocyanate is typically used. A topcoat is formed on the basecoat by reacting the base coat with aliphatic branched or unbranched mono-alcohol or polyol.
