About PropSpeed
What is Propspeed?
Propspeed is one of the world’s leading foul-release coating designed to protect underwater running gear from marine growth. Unlike traditional antifouling paints, Propspeed creates a slick, non-toxic surface that prevents organisms like barnacles and algae from adhering to propellers, shafts, rudders, trim tabs, and other metal components. Its innovative formula improves efficiency, reduces maintenance, and ensures your vessel performs at its best.
When to Use Propspeed
Propspeed should be applied whenever you want to maintain the performance and longevity of your underwater assets. It is ideal for use during routine maintenance or haul-outs, particularly when marine growth and fouling have been affecting the efficiency of your propulsion system. Regular use of Propspeed can help save on fuel costs and extend the life of your running gear by reducing drag and preventing corrosion.
What to Use Propspeed On
Propspeed is specifically formulated for all submerged metal surfaces, including propellers, shafts, rudders, struts, and trim tabs. It can also be used on underwater lights and transducers with complementary products like Lightspeed and Foulfree for a complete vessel protection solution. Propspeed is compatible with bronze, stainless steel, aluminum, and factory-painted surfaces when paired with the appropriate primers.
