ABSTRACT:
A polymeric composition containing copper flake in sufficient quantities to render the entire thickness of the polymeric composition electrically conductive. The copper flake is treated to remove oxides and reacted with conventional epoxy resins modified with an epoxidized polyol (polyglycol). The formulation not only exhibits outstanding anti-fouling properties but also exhibits anti-sliming properties.
The composition is useful as a gel coat and when utilized on ships, boats, and other water craft, a vessel results which requires no additional anti-fouling or anti-sliming treatment for several years. The composition can also be used to great advantage as a liner for pipes and conduits used to transport salt or fresh water where fouling of the pipes is a problem.
In one embodiment of the invention, a composition is disclosed which will cure under water. This particular formulation can be used to great advantage in patching holes in copper clad hulls and the like while the vessel is in water.
