Popis: Equipment, pipelines, hydraulic structures located in the water are covered with a layer of fouling organisms, which is accompanied by a deterioration in operating parameters and increased corrosion of structural materials. Most anti-fouling coatings contain some type of toxins, the gradual release of which from the coating into the water should lead to the death of the fouling organisms. A promising antifouling coating intended for use in an aquatic environment is a combined metal-polymer coating, the composition and application technology of which were developed by the company LLC TSZP. On the studied coating, neither in the zone of variable wettability, nor in the zone of complete immersion, firmly fixed zebra mussels were not found, and single specimens on individual samples had very weak fixation.
