Prop Speed Services

Professional application of the world's leading foul-release coating system

What is Prop Speed?

Prop Speed is a revolutionary clear foul-release coating system specifically designed for underwater metals. Unlike traditional antifouling paints, Prop Speed doesn't use biocides to kill marine growth. Instead, it creates an ultra-smooth surface that marine organisms struggle to adhere to.

At Salazar Marine, we are certified Prop Speed applicators, ensuring your vessel's underwater metal components receive the highest quality protection available in the industry.

Benefits of Prop Speed

Why professional Prop Speed application is essential for your vessel

Increased Fuel Efficiency

Clean propellers and running gear operate more efficiently, reducing drag and improving fuel economy by up to 10%.

Corrosion Protection

Prop Speed provides a protective barrier against galvanic corrosion, extending the life of your expensive underwater metal components.

Extended Haul-Out Intervals

With Prop Speed, you can potentially extend the time between haul-outs, saving time and money on maintenance.

Improved Performance

Maintain optimal vessel speed and handling with clean propellers and running gear that operate as designed.

Reduced Vibration & Noise

Clean, smooth propellers create less vibration and noise, resulting in a more comfortable boating experience.

Environmentally Friendly

Prop Speed is a more environmentally responsible choice compared to traditional biocide-based antifouling solutions.

The Prop Speed Application Process

Our certified application process ensures maximum performance and longevity

Surface Preparation

Proper surface preparation is critical for Prop Speed's performance. We meticulously clean and prepare all metal surfaces, removing any existing coatings, corrosion, or marine growth. The surface is then thoroughly cleaned with specialized solvents to ensure perfect adhesion.

Etching Primer Application

We apply a specialized etching primer that chemically bonds to the metal surface. This creates the foundation for the Prop Speed system and ensures long-term adhesion. Timing is critical during this stage, and our certified technicians are trained to apply each component within the required application window.

Clear Coat Application

The final step is the application of Prop Speed's clear coat. This specially formulated silicone-based coating creates an ultra-smooth surface that marine growth cannot effectively adhere to. We apply multiple coats to ensure complete coverage and maximum durability, following the manufacturer's specifications precisely.

Professional Application Matters

Prop Speed requires precise application by certified professionals to achieve its full performance potential. At Salazar Marine, our technicians are factory-trained and certified in the proper application techniques, ensuring your investment delivers maximum value and protection.
