Anti-fouling paint typically contains biocides that prevent the growth of marine organisms like algae, barnacles, and mollusks on submerged surfaces. Common biocides include copper compounds, zinc, and various organic biocides. The paint may also contain resins, solvents, and fillers to enhance adhesion and durability. Additionally, anti-fouling paints can be formulated as hard or ablative types, affecting how they release biocides over time.
It used to be used as 'anti-fouling ' paint on boats hulls. I don't know if it still is.
Anti-fouling paint should typically be reapplied every 1 to 3 years, depending on factors such as the type of paint used, the boat's usage, and environmental conditions. Regular inspections can help determine if the paint is still effective or needs replacement. In high-fouling areas or for boats that are used frequently, more frequent applications may be necessary. Always consult the manufacturer's guidelines for specific recommendations.
You should use a barrier paint. The antifouling should be either physically keyed or pressure washed to remove any loose paint or indeed any dirt. Different types of antifouling paint can react with each other

Self-polishing anti-fouling paint is a type of marine paint designed to prevent the build-up of organisms like barnacles and algae on the hull of boats. The paint contains biocides that are slowly released as the boat moves through the water, creating a smooth surface that deters marine growth. As the paint wears away over time, it exposes fresh biocide, maintaining the paint's effectiveness.
In modern times, anti-fouling paints are formulated with toxic copper-3, organotin-chemistrycompounds, or other biocide--special chemicals which impede growth of barnacles, algae, and marine organisms.Read more: bottom-paint
