Propspeed has introduced its latest innovation in foul-release coatings, the Foulfree Multi-Surface System. This new product, designed as a biocide-free solution, provides protection to a broad spectrum of marine components, enhancing performance across various vessel types, including RIBs, centre consoles, cruisers, and pleasure yachts.
Engineered for Versatility
The Foulfree Multi-Surface System has been meticulously engineered to adhere to a variety of substrates, showcasing Propspeed’s established performance standards. It is particularly suitable for the painted aluminium of outboard skegs, as well as plastic, nylon, or composite stabilisation systems. In addition, it can be used effectively on thrusters, fins, and even RIB tubes.
Exceptional Adhesion and Durability
This coating offers exceptional foul-release protection, promising superior adhesion and durability for enduring performance in both salt and freshwater environments. The application is clear, ensuring an invisible, non-intrusive protective layer that maintains the vessel’s aesthetics with a clean, professional look below the waterline.
Ensuring Optimal Boating Performance
Marcus Hamilton, CEO of Propspeed, emphasised the significance of this innovation: “The marine industry continues to push forward with innovations that provide boaters greater confidence, comfort, and performance when out on the water. Yet, the very components that make this possible, such as thrusters, stabilising systems, outboard skegs and RIB tubes, face constant threats from marine growth that can compromise efficiency and effectiveness. The new Foulfree Multi-Surface System is engineered to keep fouling from adhering to these critical components and safeguarding optimal performance all season long.”
Convenient Kit Options
The Foulfree Multi-Surface System is available in small and medium kit sizes, each including all necessary components for a swift and easy application process. Boaters can benefit from a quick turnaround, with just a 10-minute overcoat window at 20°C (68°F) and a full cure time of 12 hours, allowing them to return to the water swiftly.
Broadening Foul-Release Protection
For many years, Propspeed has been a trusted solution for underwater metal protection, effectively preventing marine growth on propellers and running gear. This latest product extends these benefits to boaters using centre consoles, mid-size cruisers, and various sizes of RIBs, offering an alternative to conventional antifouling paints, which are often invasive and biocide-heavy.
The Foulfree Multi-Surface System is making its debut at IBEX Show 2025, running from October 7-9, 2025, at the Tampa Convention Center, expanding the company’s range of offerings and bringing foul-release coatings to components that have historically been unprotected.
