摘要

The present invention addresses the problem of providing: a ship with a reduced friction drag, which can keep the affinity for a gas such as air in water for a long period, has a high fluid friction drag reduction effect, is economically advantageous and has little influence on the environment; a coating composition which enables the formation of a coating film that can keep the affinity for a gas such as air in water for a long period, has a friction drag reduction effect and can exhibit a stain-proof function under stream or under static conditions; and others. The present invention relates to a coating composition which enables the formation of a coating film having a specified static in-water bubble contact angle and a specified in-water bubble roll (slip) angle and can be used for a ship with a reduced friction drag utilizing a gas-lubricating function in water. The present invention also relates to a stain-proof coating composition which comprises a specific organopolysiloxane (A), a specific organosilane (B) and a specific hydrophobic material (C) in specified amounts and can be used for a ship with a reduced friction drag utilizing a gas-lubricating function in water.
