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.
