Norwegian term or phrase: antibegroingsmaling
Can anyone offer an English translation of this term? I think it might be anti-fouling paint for use on ships. This is in the context of limiting permitted lead content for paints. Thanks.

anti-fouling paint
Explanation:
Your thinking is right on the money. If it weren't for use on ships, it would be for other marine objects - from platforms to buoys. Alternative souce terms would be groingshemmende maling, antigroingsmaling, and by far the most common: bunnstoff.
