Velox Plus

Velox Plus is a high-performance antifouling coating specifically designed for protecting submerged metal components from marine growth. Its unique formulation ensures excellent adhesion and durability, even in challenging marine environments. Velox Plus helps maintain the efficiency and performance of your vessel by preventing the build-up of barnacles, algae, and other fouling organisms on critical underwater components.

When to Use Velox Plus
Velox Plus is ideal for use during routine maintenance or whenever marine growth is impacting the performance of your underwater running gear. It’s particularly effective for vessels operating in high-fouling areas, as it reduces drag, saves on fuel costs, and minimizes the frequency of cleaning and maintenance. Regular application of Velox Plus ensures your vessel remains efficient and protected throughout the season.

What to Use Velox Plus On
Velox Plus is specifically formulated for submerged metal parts such as propellers, shafts, rudders, trim tabs, and stern drives. It is suitable for use on bronze, steel, and aluminum surfaces, as well as factory-painted or epoxy-coated parts when paired with Velox Metal Primer. Its versatility makes it a reliable choice for a wide range of marine applications.

Why Choose Velox Plus?
Velox Plus stands out for its ease of application, exceptional adhesion, and long-lasting performance. Unlike silicone-based coatings, it can be recoated in subsequent seasons without stripping, saving time and effort during maintenance. Whether you own a small recreational vessel or a large commercial boat, Velox Plus offers dependable protection to keep your underwater components clean, efficient, and performing at their best.


Benefits of Velox Plus

  • Effective Antifouling: Prevents marine growth on submerged metal parts, maintaining efficiency and reducing drag.
  • Durable Protection: Resists wear from water pressure, movement, and galvanic currents.
  • Versatile Application: Suitable for propellers, shafts, rudders, trim tabs, stern drives, and other metal components.
  • Compatible with Various Materials: Works on bronze, steel, aluminum, and factory-coated surfaces when paired with Velox Metal Primer.
  • Easy to Recoat: Unlike silicone-based coatings, Velox Plus can be recoated without the need for stripping, saving time during maintenance.
  • Improves Fuel Efficiency: By reducing drag caused by fouling, it helps lower fuel consumption and operational costs.
  • Long-Lasting Performance: Designed for seasonal or multi-season protection in various marine environments.

Cons of Velox Plus

  • Requires Metal Primer: Must be applied over Velox Metal Primer for proper adhesion, adding an additional step to the process. (unless coating over existing epoxy)
  • Surface Preparation is Crucial: Requires thorough sanding and cleaning for effective application.
  • Not Suitable for Non-Metal Surfaces: Specifically designed for metal components and not compatible with other materials.
  • Application Limitations: Should be applied under controlled environmental conditions, with temperature and humidity within recommended ranges.
  • Frequent Maintenance in High-Fouling Areas: While effective, some areas with extreme fouling may still require periodic cleaning and reapplication.

Velox Plus is an excellent choice for protecting submerged metal components, offering reliable antifouling performance, but it requires careful application and surface preparation for optimal results.
