The Propspeed foul-release coating system is a high impact, low investment Energy Saving Technology (EST) with a compelling ROI. Designed for application to propellers and running gear, the biocide free foul-release coating system is proven to enhance vessels’ efficiency and environmental sustainability, through the reduction of fuel and power consumption from the day it is applied.

• Optimised Fuel Consumption: Proven reductions in load and fuel consumption, backed by third-party data.
• Fast ROI Realisation: Optimised fuel efficiency and reduced maintenance cost drive a rapid return on investment, often realised within a few months.
• Biocide Free, Foul-release Coating System: Propspeed delivers superior performance without the use of harmful biocides, creating a hydrophobic surface that optimises vessel efficiency through reduced surface tension.
• Lower Fuel Consumption and Associated Emissions:Improved propeller efficiency leads to significant reductions in fuel use and associated carbon, supporting the fleet’s global sustainability goals.
• Reduces the Spread of Invasive Species: The foul-release properties minimise biofouling, reducing the risk of spreading invasive aquatic species between ecosystems.
• Reduces Anode Fallout:By extending anode life, Propspeed reduces the overall heavy metal fallout over the vessel’s lifetime.
• Easy application with basic polishing requirements

• Two-part coating system:
  1. The Etching Primer: Creates an exceptionally strong chemical and mechanical bond between the propeller metal, the primer, and the Clear Coat
  2. The Clear Coat: Provides a hydrophobic surface, reduces surface friction, and prevents biofouling from adhering to the propeller metal

Propspeed Press Release: Following significant third-party testing, the Propspeed foul-release coating system has received Type Approval from Bureau Veritas.

World-leading commercial fishing shipbuilder Padmos Shipyard conducted an independent test of the Propspeed coating system on one of their vessels in conjunction with TechBinder, a data-driven vessel optimisation technology firm. The results of this evaluation demonstrated that Propspeed significantly reduced fuel and power consumption as well as load on the vessel.

“Windroos saw a remarkable 4.7% decrease in kilowatt usage at cruising speed, after the Propspeed application. Impressed by these results, we’re now implementing Propspeed on all our vessels and recommending it to our customers”

– says Maurits van Maaren, Naval Architect, Padmos.

PRODUCT CODE: PSCKIT

The Propspeed Commercial Kit has been created specifically for the commercial marine professional. Propspeed is a two-part coating system that features an exceptionally strong chemical and mechanical bond between the metal substrate, the Etching Primer, and the Clear Coat. The Etching Primer is known for its iconic gold colour, strong adhesion to metal substrates and superior corrosion resistance. The Clear Coat provides a hydrophobic, extremely low friction surface that prevents biofouling from adhering to the substrate. Full system application can be completed within 24 hours (dependent on the surface area to be covered), making it easy to fit into your docking/maintenance schedule. The kit includes everything needed to cover a surface area of 153ft² / 14.2m²

• Superior protection against marine growth and corrosion
• Sleek, hydrophobic surface for optimal performance
• Unmatched adhesion to propellers and underwater metals
• High performance, biocide free coating system
