ANTI-FOOTING COATING COMPOSITIONS, ANTI-FOOTING COATING FILMS, ANTI-FOOTING SUBSTRATES, METHODS FOR PRODUCING ANTI-FOULING SUBSTRATES, AND METHODS OF STORING ANTI-FOOTING COATING COMPOSITIONS. [Object] Provides an antifouling coating composition that contains a (co)polymer of silyl ester and medetomidine, and is used to prevent fouling of substrates by aquatic organisms and which can form antifouling coating films that exhibit excellent antifouling properties. fouling for a long period and also has good storage stability, and to provide composition usage applications. [Solution] The antifouling coating composition includes a (co)polymer of silyl ester (A) and medetomidine (B), the (co)polymer of silyl ester (A) including structural units derived from a monomer (a) depicted by the general formula (I): R1-CH=C(CH3)-COO-(SiR2R3O)n-SiR4R5R6 and structural units derived from an unsaturated monomer (b) copolymerizable with the monomer (a). |
