This fouling isa ni Sance on boat hulls, because it increases fitional resistance ‘during movement through the water, the consequence being reduced speeds and inereased fuel costs, It sa nbisance on Sate structures such a the les of dling platforms and oil ‘and gas production, refining and storage rigs, firstly because the resistance of thick layers of fouling to waves and currents ‘ean cause unpredictable and potentially dangerous stresses in the structure, and, secondly, because fouling makes it dfieult to inspeet the stractre foe defects such as stress eracking and corrosion. It is @ nuisance in pipes such as cooling water intakes and outlets, eeause the effective eross-sectional area isreducedby fouling with te consequence tat Now rates ae reduced The commercially most suecessfel methods of inhibiting fouling have involved the use of anti-fouling costings con= luining substances trie to aquatic life, for example tebuty- tin chloride or euprons oxide. Such coatings, however ae being regarded with increasing disfavor because ofthe dam- aging effocts such toxins may have released nto the aquatic ‘environment. There is accordingly a need for non-fouling ‘coatings, which do not release markedly toxie materials, ‘dus been known formany years orexampleas disclosed in GB 1,307,001 and US. Pat. No. 3,702,778 that silicone rubber coatings resist fouling by aquatic organisms. 1 is believed that sch coatings presenta surface to which the ‘onzinisms cannot esily ae, and they ean accordingly be called fouling-release or fouling-esistant rather than anti- fouling coatings. Silicone rubbers and silicone compounds generally have very low toxicity. The disadvantage ofthis ‘antifouling system when applied to boat hulls chat although accumblation of mariteorganisms is rduced, there is the need for relatively high vessel speeds to remove all fouling species. Thus, in some instances it has been shown that fr effective release from a hull that has boon treated with such a polymer iis necessary to sil with a speed ofa least 14 knots. For this reason silicone rubhers have gained limited ‘commercial sueeess and there is a need for improvement of ‘ntifouling and fouling-release properties ofthese euwiron= ‘mentally benign coatings ‘WO 02/074870 describes an alternative fouling-resistant ‘composition which has low surface energy and suitable elas= tomerie properties. This ani-ouling composition comprises 2 cured or erostinked polymer, which is fee from perfluo- ropolyether moieties, and a Muorinatedalky|- or alkoxy-con- taining polymer or oligomer. I was found that this fouling resistant composition Was superior to other known fouling- resistant compositions due w a decrease in the settlement of fouling organisms and their adhesion strengths. thas now been found that a fouling- resistant composition comprising an clastomer and) component comprising sterols) andr sterol dervative(s), wherein the component is Selected from acylated Iaoia,alkoxylated lanolin, lanolin vil, ora composition comprising at least 20 weight % of one ‘or more stero(s), atleast 20 weight % of one or more CC sterolestr(s)orat least 20 weight % of alkoxylated sterl(s), ‘wherein weight % is the percentage of the sero or sterol ‘derivative othe voal weight ofthe eomponent, has excellent Touling-esistant properties. The compositions ofthe present invention have been found ‘have fouling resistance properties superior compositions in WO 021074870. Fouling-resistant properties can be compared by measur ing the amount of setlement of fouling organisms and their adhesion strengths, ‘Unmodified lanolin isan example of natural product which ‘comprises one or more sterols), and sterol derivatives, buts rot @ component of the fouling-esistant composition of the present invention.

Commercially available lanolin typically comprises ‘round 97% by weight oflong chain fay esters. The majority bf these esters (200%) uve aliphatic tails longer than 12 eathons.

Japanese patent application JP2008263075A. discloses salfouling paint compositions comprising lanolin ora ano- Jin derivative. It discloses a fong list of resins that must be Used to prepare the antifonting paint, but fails to feaeh the synergistic effect om the fouling resistance when certain lano- lin derivatives age combined with an elastomer to peepace ‘ouling resistant coating composition. Infact, 1P200826397S directs the reader to prepare antifouing coating compositions US 9,388,316 B2 3 ‘comprising a harder, non-elastomeric palymer—an acrylate resin, Further, JP2005263975 teaches that acrylate resins should be combined with polybutene. The polybutene is ‘added to raise the plasticity ofthe paint ‘Surprisingly the present inventors have found that coatings ‘of the fouling-esistant compositions ofthe present invention Which comprises a “softer” elastomer, and specific lanolin rivatives have superioefouling-resistant prpetis aginst f wide range of fouling (slime fouling, weed fouling, soft fouling and hard fouling), compared 10 the deliberately-de- signed harder and non-elastomer coatings suggested and ‘exemplified in 1P2008263975, Japanese patent application JP2010000246A discloses bioeide-ree antfouling paint compositions comprising lao Tinora lanolin derivative. 1 teaches that the anifouting paint must comprise a thermoplastic resin, and thatthe thermoplas- tie resin is required to strengthen the hardness of the paint. A Tange number of thermoplastic resins are disclosed, andthe ‘eating compositions of the examples comprise thermoplas tie petroleum resin. So. like 3P20(5263075A, SP2010090246A also teaches the use of a “han!” resin, instead of a “softer” elastomer resin a roquited by the com Position of the present invention. Surprisingly, the fouling resistant compositions of the present invention have been found to result in coatings wich have superior foing-resis- tant properties against a wide rangeo fouling (slime ovling, weed fouling, soft fouling and hard fouling) compared to the dliberately-designed harder coatings suggested and exem- plified in 3P20100902468, ‘One advantage of the new fouling-resistant compositions disclosed herein is that since lanolin/steols) and sterol erivative(s) are iodepradable, the use ofthese in fouling resistant compositions would be expected to have lite (i any) environmental impact on the marine and aquatic env ronment ‘Surprisingly, the foul-release coating compositions ofthis inventionhave been shown tohaveetfectverelesseot fouling at ow speeds, af for example, between O and 12 knots.

The sterol carbon skeleton shown in FIG. 1 may be fly saturated, or may contain ethylenically unsaturated double bonds, Fer example cholesterol has an elylenically unsat- umted double band between Catbons 5 and 6, The sterol skeleton also contains « numberof chiral carbons; therefore differnt isomeric forms of sterols exist.
