Meaning
Antifouling paint, also known as antifouling coating, is a specialized type of paint used to prevent the accumulation of marine organisms on submerged surfaces. It is commonly applied to the hulls of ships, boats, and other marine structures. Antifouling paints contain biocides or other additives that deter the attachment and growth of organisms such as barnacles, algae, and mollusks. This helps to maintain the smoothness and efficiency of the surfaces, reducing drag and improving fuel efficiency. Regular maintenance and application of antifouling paint are essential for effective protection against biofouling.
