PROPSPEED, INNOVATOR of underwater foul-release coatings has announced unprecedented growth in 2021. Through Covid- lockdowns and supply chain issues, Propspeed was able to accomplish a major rebranding campaign; developed solid shipyard, boat builder and OEM partners; enhanced its focus on the commercial industry; appointed key staff and acquired brand ambassadors to test and promote its award-winning product line.
A January 2021 rebranding campaign included the development of a new distributor sales tool belt, testimonials and case studies in the recreational and commercial marine market, and an easy-to-navigate website with versions in French, Italian and Spanish. This allowed Propspeed to build partnerships with major shipyards like Pendennis and Monaco Marine. Yacht manufacturers like Riviera Australia have chosen to apply Propspeed as a factory standard for all new models and recommends the use of Propspeed for existing owners. OEM manufacturers such as WASSP, innovators in sonar technology, tested the Propspeed Foulfree foul-release coating and endorsed the product after rigorous testing that found Foulfree to be a great solution for keeping their transducers clean and free from marine growth.
The launch of the Propspeed Commercial Kit found endorsements from major commercial fishing and passenger transportation operations like Freedom Fast Cats and Ocean Fisheries.
Propspeed’s ultra-slick topcoat is specially formulated to prevent marine growth from bonding to metal surfaces below the waterline. It is proven to increase boat efficiency, protect against corrosion, reduce drag, 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 running gear, and any other underwater metals, and performs season after season.
