The invention relates to the use of a polymer comprising salts of aminefunctional groups and/or salts of phosphine-functional groups bound (pendant) to the backbone of the polymer, said salts comprising as counter-ion the anionic residue of an acid having an aliphatic, aromatic, or alkaryl hydrocarbon group comprising at least 5 carbon atoms in antifouling compositions. The invention further relates to antifouling compositions comprising such a polymer. |
