SYNOPSIS
The first part of the paper presents a general overview of the different paint systems used in the marine industry. Different methods of surface preparation and paint application are summarised. In the second part, the attention is focused on antifouling systems. Fouling is shortly introduced in Section 1 and a brief history of antifouling is presented in Section 2. Section 3 and Section 4 discuss TBT-SPCs and the impending ban on TBT. Section 5 presents the antifouling alternatives to TBT-SPCs.
