Propspeed system fouling and corrosion

Propspeed offers a range of foul-release, biocide-free coating systems that prevent marine growth

Propspeed offers a range of foul-release, biocide-free coating systems that prevent marine growth on underwater assets. The Propspeed Clear Coat is hydrophobic in nature, with an extremely low friction surface that prevents bio-fouling from adhering to the substrate.

Paired with the products’ superior adhesion to underwater metals, the full Propspeed system protects against fouling and corrosion, mitigating invasive species spread while protecting marine ecosystems, and reducing fuel consumption and associated GHG emissions.

Propspeed’s product lineup includes Propspeed for running gear and any underwater metals, Foulfree™ for transducers and Lightspeed™ for underwater lighting.

The latest addition to the product range is Stripspeed™, a solvent-based paint stripper for underwater metals.
