본 발명은 해양 파울링 방지제로서, 덱스메데토미딘과 비교하여 상대적으로 보다 많은 양의 레보메데토미딘, 또는 이의 염 또는 용매화물을 가지는 메데토미딘의 용도에 관한 것이다. 또한 상기 메데토미딘을 포함하는 표면 코팅 조성물, 상기 메데토미딘으로 코팅된 표면, 및 상기 메데토미딘을 사용한 해양 바이오파울링 방지 방법에 관한 것이다. The present invention relates to the use of medetomidine having a relatively higher amount of levomedetomidine, or a salt or solvate thereof, as compared to dexmedetomidine, as a marine antifouling agent. It further relates to surface coating compositions comprising such medetomidine, surfaces coated with such medetomidine, and methods for preventing marine biofouling using such medetomidine.
