Abstract

The present disclosure provides an antifouling coating and a use method and use thereof. In the antifouling coating of the present disclosure, polyaspartic acid ester is an isocyanate curing agent containing a secondary amine structure. An ester group and aliphatic properties in the polyaspartic acid ester can increase wear resistance of the coating. The polyaspartic acid ester is combined with a polyisocyanate-containing prepolymer in a component A to endow the antifouling coating with desirable toughness and elasticity, such that the antifouling coating has excellent impact and abrasion resistance. In the component A, a polydimethylsiloxane structure is introduced into the hydroxypropyl silicone oil-based isocyanate prepolymer. The polydimethylsiloxane structure can generate microphase separation with a polyurea hard segment and migrate to a surface of the coating, thereby reducing surface energy of the coating to reduce an adhesion between fouling organisms and an interface.
