The inclusion of finely ground abalone shell dust to below waterline structure coating applications, to prevent anti-fouling colonisations by the usual marine organisms.
#$%^&*AU2015100800A420150716.pdf#####Abstract Due to the principles of natural selection, the abalone has obviously created its own natural defence within its shell substance, against being over-burdened with other organisms that could affect its mobility, or its attachment to rigid bottom in the marine environment. Therefore, the inclusion of abalone shell dust to replace current toxic substances that are added to anti-fouling paints and/or coatings would prevent anti-fouling colonisations by the usual marine organisms.
