|
| It is tolerant of a wide range of environmental conditions and surface coating types including biocidal antifouling paints and non-toxic foul-release coatings. |
|
| A product using cuprous oxide as the active ingredient has recently been registered for antifouling purposes on nets. |
|
| Becker and Wahl, in a series of experiments to test for antifouling mechanisms in crabs, concluded that behavior such as burrowing played the largest role in antifouling. |
|
| Scientific studies have shown that certain antifouling systems used on ships pose a substantial risk to the aquatic environment. |
|
| The intent of the program is to stop ubiquitous releases of antifouling paint wastewater into coastal waters. |
|
| Besides being employed in medical products, it is possible to envision their use for other applications, e.g. as antifouling agents. |
|
| There are other many novel, biodiversity-based products that have emerged from bioprospecting, including adhesives, air conditioning, antifreeze and antifouling chemicals. |
|
| In this study, the antifouling property of PVDF coating layer was improved through blending of PVA in the polymer solution. |
|
| Moreover, the peak production of antifouling compounds is during the spring. |
|
| When we buy antifouling or maintenance products for our boats we give preference to products which best respect the environment and we only careen and lift out in places specifically equipped for this operation. |

|
| However, only a part of the information contained in both, the request and these documents, relates to the use of organostannic compounds in antifouling paints. |
|
| The toxicity of these compounds has been evaluated only on a short-term basis, not on the long-term basis that is applicable to the continuous exposure to antifouling paints. |
|
| The Belgian authorities also claim that antifouling paints without organostannic compounds and of equal duration and effectiveness are already available. |
|
| Belgium considers it necessary to introduce such national measures to protect the environment against the harmful effects of antifouling paints based on organostannic compounds, on the basis of new scientific evidence. |
|
| Consequently, this Decision will only refer to the draft national provisions regarding antifouling products intended for use in the aquatic environment, for which derogation is sought. |
|
| Ordinary antifouling products aren't always suitable for inflatables because they can crack and chip when inflating and deflating the boat. |
|
| Certain substances for cleaning, antifouling treatment and disinfection of production equipment and facilities should be allowed under defined conditions. |
|
| The arguments put forward by Germany to justify the draft national provisions regarding the use of organostannic compounds in antifouling paints relate to the protection of the environment, but in part also to human health. |
|
| Antifouling is the most important painting job to have carried out on your boat, once foul has a hold on your hull it will rapidly colonise the surface. |
|
| Pettit Marine Paint has introduced Vivid Antifouling, which remains effective after repeated launching and hauling, making it ideal for trailerable or rack-stored boats. |
