A binder for a marine coating composition comprising the reaction product of a polysiloxane unit A and at least one second monomer B that undergoes a polymerisation reaction with said polysiloxane unit A so as to form a copolymer of structure -[ABAB]- wherein the backbone of said copolymer comprises a plurality of hydrolysable ester functional groups that will hydrolyse in the presence of seawater.

A type of feather-like polyester fiber and a preparing method thereof are disclosed. The preparing method is to manufacture filament from a modified polyester through a POY process with a four-fold flat spinneret and a successive DTY processes, wherein said modified polyester is the product of the esterification and the successive polycondensation reactions of evenly mixed terephthalic acid, ethylene glycol, main-chain silicated diol and fluorinated dicarboxylic acid, and the spinneret is the one set with four-fold flat shaped orifices. The obtained fiber has a dye uptake of 89.6-93.7% when dyed at 130 C., and has an intrinsic viscosity drop of 13-20% when stored at 25 C. and R.H. 65% for 60 months. This invention is simple to apply and features a product with good dyeing and degradation performance.
