FIELD: ship building. n SUBSTANCE: invention relates to self-polishing and/or anti-fouling coating compositions suitable for use in shipbuilding. A self-polishing and/or anti-fouling coating composition comprising one or more biocidal agents and a binder, wherein the binder comprises a copolymer comprising (i) units of A and (ii) units of B and/or C, where R 1 and R 2 each independently represent H, C 1 –C 6 alkyl group or phenyl, R 3 and R' 3 are independently H, C 1 –C 6 alkyl group or phenyl, R 4 and R' 4 are optional and, if available, are independently C 1–3 alkylene group. Method for reducing and/or preventing the adhesion of marine organisms on surfaces using the composition and the uses of the composition according to the invention. n (A), (B), (C). n EFFECT: technical result – the proposed composition makes it possible to obtain a self-polishing coating, resistant to cracking and effective against fouling due to biocidal activity. n 15 cl, 8 ex, 2 tbl |
