Protección antiincrustante de estructuras sumergidas mediante recubrimientos formulados con 7-hidroxi-4-metilcumarina

ABSTRACT Biofouling settlement on submerged structures such as ships, buoys, farms, off-shore platforms and meteorological stations induces economic losses as a consequence of material deterioration and withdraw from service. Environmental regulations focus on the use of environmental friendly products to replace metallic biocides included in antifouling paints which are highly pollutant. A growing interest for searching and identifying efficient and benign antifoulants has being carried out. For this reason, the compound 7-hydroxy-4-methylcoumarin was synthesized following Green Chemistry pro...
