Description
PropSpeed foul-release coating is specially formulated to keep running gear and any other underwater metals, free of marine growth and protected against corrosion.
Features:
- Long-lasting, ultra-smooth, integrated foul release system
- Dramatically reduces the ability for fouling to occur
- Designed to increase vessel speed and fuel efficiency
- Environmentally friendly so it doesn't harm marine life - contains no tin, copper, biocides, or anti-slime additives
- Exceptionally strong chemical and physical bond between the metal substrate, primer, and top coat ensures the coating will stay on your running gear
- Reduces corrosion and lowers maintenance costs
- PropSpeed's effectiveness does depend on movement of your boat - the more you use it, the better PropSpeed performs
- May be applied to any metal part below the waterline, including propellers, shafts, struts, rudders, trim tabs and through-hull fittings
- Safe for use on aluminum components
- Clear coat can also be applied directly to plastic bow-thruster propellers and underwater light lenses
- Safe to haul out boat for maintenance or winter storage but be sure not to pressure wash coated gear
- Multiple kit sizes available. Perfect for DIY boaters and marine trade professionals alike
- Propclean ensures that the metal surface is completely free of contaminants and ready for Propprep
- Propprep is critical in the chemical preparation of the metal surface to be coated
- Etching Primer base and Etching Primer hardener combine to create tenacious adhesion and corrosion resistance
- Clear Coat forms a slick outer layer that marine growth cannot adhere to
