Environmentally-Friendly Enzyme Based Antifouling Paint The enzyme-based antifouling paint utilizes biodegradable fruit enzymes derived from papaya and pineapple as the active ingredients in place of conventional biocides of commonly used heavy metals and highly toxic chemicals such as tributyltin (TBT) and cuprous oxide. Currently the International Maritime Organization (IMO) is conducting a worldwide five year phase out of the widely used TBT by January 1, 2008 . |
