Title: SELF-POLISHING MARINE ANTIFOULING PAINT COMPOSITION COMPRISING FIBRES AND METAL-CON TAINING CO-POLYMERS[err]Abstract: The present invention provides a self polishing marine antifouling paint composition com prising: i) at least one binder co-polymer comprising at least one side chain bearing at least one terminal group of formula (I), wherein X is (a), (b), (c), (d); p is 1 or, if X is -P(=O), p is 2; M is a metal whose va lency is 2 or more; n is an integer of 1 or more with the proviso that n + 1 always equals the metal valency; L is an organic acid residue, or L is -OH, or combinations (d) thereof' and fibres. The composition shows improve ment of the properties with respect to integrity of the paint film after long term use and in particular when exposed to alternate dry and wet.
