Question

Which chemical can be found in the older type of anti-fouling paint?

Answer 1

Answer:

a category of commercially available underwater hull paints (also known as bottom paints) - is a specialized category of coatings applied as the outer (outboard) layer to the hull of a ship or boat, to slow the growth and/or facilitate detachment of subaquatic organisms that attach to the hull and can affect a vessel's performance and durability (see also biofouling). Anti-fouling paints are often applied as one component of multi-layer coating systems [1] which may have other functions in addition to their antifouling properties, such as acting as a barrier against corrosion on metal hulls that will degrade and weaken the metal,[2] or improving the flow of water past the hull of a fishing vessel[3] or high-performance racing yachts.

Answer 2

Copper can be found in the older type of anti-fouling paint.

Explanation:

• Copper is importantly specialized for underwater hull paints which are also said as bottom paints. It is a specified division of coatings applied as the outer layer to the boat, reduce the growth and facilitate detachment of sub-aquatic organisms that are attached to the hull.
• They can affect the vessel's performance and longevity. The Anti-fouling paints are used as single component of multi-layer coating systems with other functions.
