Propspeed - The Original Foul Release System
The trusted foul release coating for business and pleasure boat owners, specially formulated to prevent marine growth from bonding to metal surfaces below the waterline
The proven solution for protecting propellers and running gear from marine growth
Original Foul Release Coating
Propspeed is the original propeller and running gear foul release coating system, specially formulated to prevent marine growth from bonding to metal surfaces below the waterline. This advanced coating technology creates an ultra-smooth, slippery surface that marine organisms cannot grip.
Reduces fuel consumption by up to 15% by maintaining smooth propeller surfaces and optimal hydrodynamic performance.
Significantly reduces the need for underwater cleaning and maintenance, extending time between haul-outs.
Maintains vessel top speed and reduces vibration by preventing propeller roughening from marine growth.
Provides additional barrier protection against corrosion while serving as a foul release system.
Advanced surface chemistry creates an ultra-slippery substrate that marine organisms cannot grip
Thorough cleaning and preparation creates the ideal substrate for optimal coating adhesion and performance.
Specially formulated etching primer bonds to the metal substrate and provides the foundation for the topcoat system.
Advanced silicone-based topcoat creates the ultra-smooth, low-energy surface that prevents marine growth attachment.
Complete protection for all underwater metal components
Main and bow thruster propellers for optimal performance
Drive shafts and exposed running gear components
Strut assemblies and support structures
Hydraulic trim tab systems and actuators
Rudders
Keel Coolers
Through-hull Fittings
Pod Drives
Certified application ensures maximum coating performance and longevity
Propellers and removable components are carefully removed for proper workshop application.
Thorough degreasing and cleaning removes all contamination, old coatings, and marine growth.
Professional grit blasting creates the optimal surface profile for maximum coating adhesion.
Precision masking protects bearing surfaces and ensures clean application lines.
Application of Propspeed etching primer creates strong bond to metal substrate.
Professional spray application of Propspeed topcoat in controlled environment.
Proper curing time ensures full coating development and optimal performance characteristics.
Final inspection and touch-up ensures complete coverage and coating integrity.
Superior performance through advanced foul release technology
Ultra-smooth surface prevents organisms from gaining initial grip
Propeller efficiency unchanged throughout coating life
2-3 year coating life with proper application
No biocide leaching or toxic release into marine environment
Relies on toxic chemical release to kill marine organisms
Coating ablates over time, reducing effectiveness
Annual or biannual recoating required
Continuous release of biocides into marine ecosystem
Propspeed's advanced foul release technology provides exceptional long-term value through reduced maintenance requirements and sustained performance over multiple seasons.
Light brushing occasionally removes any soft growth
2-3 year coating life reduces recoating frequency
Maintained propeller efficiency reduces fuel consumption
Comprehensive warranty coverage with certified application
