As you know anti-fouling paints applied on ship's outer shell plating to prevent piling up of marine vegrtable or animals on ship's outer shell plating.
Previously we were using paints contained marine biocides of "tributilane" base (TBT anti-fouling paints), which is banned for marine environment protection purpose.

almost every anti fouling paint today is based on copper.........either in a hard epoxy matrix or an ablative ( ie it slowly sluffs off exposing new fresh copper) coating.
Jotun, Interlux and Pettit are the Big 3 in the US for anti fouling paints...go look at their web sites for more info.
