ANTIFOULING COAT TO WHICH WATER CREATURES DO NOT ADHERE, ANTIFOULING OBJECT USING THE SAME, AND ANTIFOULING PAINT FOR OBTAINING THE SAME

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an antifouling coat, in which a preventing action to an adhesion of water creatures is not reduced even if it is used for a long time. SOLUTION: The antifouling coat to which no water creature adheres is formed by forming the coat on a substrate, ships, subaquatic structures, seawater introduction pipes, fish-nets, or undersea cables with the antifouling paint containing an antifouling agent and an organic solvent in a polymer hydrogel composed of a three-dimentional crosslinking material of a vinyl polymer containing not less than 50 mol% of a hydrophilic monomer, and thereafter by being immersed under water. The antifouling object is one using this anifouling coat. The antifouling paint to which no water creature adheres contains an antifouling agent, an organic solvent, a crosslinking agent, and a vinyl polymer in which the hydrophilic monomer is contained in an amount of not less than 50 mol%.
