PROPSPEED

Foul-Release Coating for All Underwster Metals

Keep your running gear and any other underwater metals free of marine growth and protected against corrosion with Propspeed.  
Propspeed, the original and best-performing foul-release coating in the industry, has been tried and tested around the world for over 21 years, consistently delivering customers the same result - improved boat performance, lower fuel, and operational costs, the sustained value of their investment, all while keeping the vessel’s running gear looking its best.
Thanks to our partnership with Sam Allen Wholesale, Propspeed is now available to you through SSAF Sheetmetal.

Propspeed: Features

PROPSPEED KITS

With an ultra-slick topcoat, Propspeed is specially formulated to prevent marine growth from bonding to metal surfaces below the waterline. It is proven to increase boat efficiency, reduce drag and save fuel and maintenance costs. It features an exceptionally strong chemical and mechanical bond between the metal substrate, the Etching Primer and the Clear Coat– ensuring that the Propspeed coating actually sticks to your running gear and performs season after season.

Propspeed also reduces the risk of corrosion by electrically isolating the metal, as well as limiting the exchanges between the ions and the gases contained in the water and the metal. In short, if a reaction can’t occur, there will be no corrosion!

The Propspeed system is best used on propellers, shafts, struts, rudders, trim tabs, keel coolers, bow and stern thrusters, pod drives, sail drives, and other underwater metal.

Propspeed is now available at SSAF Sheetmetal thanks to our partnership with Sam Allen Wholesale.

PROPSPEED APPLICATION TIP

The process to apply Propspeed to your running gear isn’t difficult, but the process must be strictly adhered to in order to get a superior result. Failure to follow the instructions precisely will likely result in premature failure of the coating.


Ambient temperature has an effect on the application of Propspeed and the drying times of the Etching Primer and the Clear Coat. We recommend a minimum temperature of 10°C, 50°F. It is also recommended to avoid applying the product in direct sunlight or humidity above 85%.


The application of Propspeed requires planning. Make sure you have installed and taped over all zincs, all application gear is on hand, and you thoroughly understand the process – then you’re ready to get started.
