This document provides a laboratory test method to determine the skin-friction of antifouling paints coated on drums.
The results of the lab-tested friction of painted drums over a certain period of time may be used for purposes such as:
screening of antifouling paints;
characterizing changes in friction for different antifouling paints;
others.
This test procedure may be used for both biocidal-based and biocide-free antifouling paints
