What Wikipedia says

Tributyltin (TBT) is an umbrella term for a class of organotin compounds that contain the (C4H9)3Sn group, with a prominent example being tributyltin oxide. For 40 years TBT was used as a biocide in anti-fouling paint, commonly known as bottom paint, applied to the hulls of oceangoing vessels.
