PURPOSE: To obtain the subject composition capable of giving a coating film which can keep a suitable solubility in seawater for a long time by copolymerizing a specified crosslinking monomer with an ethylenically unsaturated monomer in the presence of a polymerization modifier.
CONSTITUTION: 100 pts.wt. monomer mixture comprising a cross-linking monomer of formula I (wherein X and Y are groups of formulas II-VI; R is H or methyl; (m) is 1-5; and (n) is 0-2) and other copolymerizable and ethylenically unsaturated monomers in the presence of 1-20 pts.wt. polymerization modifier to obtain a hydrolyzable resin composition of a weight-average molecular weight of 10000-100000. 5-200wt.% antifouling component is added to this composition to obtain the objective composition.
