The present invention relates to antifouling and antimicrobial products, including substrates, powder coatings applied to the substrates, which may include a cross-linked polymeric binder. The powder coating may include a blend of metal borate and sulfur-containing benzimidazole compound, wherein the weight ratio of metal borate to sulfur-containing benzimidazole compound is from about 75:1 to about 10:1. The powder coating may include a fluorosurfactant, and the fluorosurfactant may be applied to the powder coating in an amount from about 0.01 g/m 2 to about 4 g/m 2 . Powder coatings can be formed using liquid-based fluorosurfactants. |
