Analyzing the Impact of Zineband Ziram As Booster Biocides in Antifouling Paints

Maritime structures such as waterfronts,offshore platforms and hulks all face different maritime sediments. there are different methods to prevent the growth of organic and non-organic material on humid surfaces,but the utilization of antifouling paints has had the most efficiency. the growth of these maritime pollutions has been stopped on hulks by the antifouling paints. ever since the nineteenth century,antifouling paints have been utilized with different mechanisms and the most important one was the tbt self-polishing paints that were banned in 2003 by the international marine organization (imo) because of the high pollution it creates in the environment. there have been many efforts ever since then to add to manufacturing antifouling paints with high efficiency that create the least amount of pollution for the environment. therefore,in this study,it has been tried to manufacture antifouling paints with the two organic combinations of zineb and ziram as boosting toxins. the rosin acrylic copolymer paint is utilized as the paint matrix. the paints main toxin is zinc (zn) and the organic combinations of zineband ziram have been used as biocide boosters. scaling the release rate of zinc in sea water,the impact of biocide boosters in comparison with paints with only zinc-oxide as the antifouling element is analyzed and compared.
