Bottom Paint, Certified Propspeed Applicators And Coppercoat
Optimizing hull performance and longevity
Bottom paint services
Antifouling paint or “Bottom paint,” is essential for maintaining a vessel’s performance and longevity. It’s specifically formulated to prevent the accumulation of marine organisms like barnacles and algae on the hull’s submerged surfaces. By minimizing biofouling, bottom paint reduces drag, improves fuel efficiency, and protects the hull from damage caused by prolonged exposure to saltwater. Regular application of quality bottom paint is crucial for any vessel owner seeking to optimize performance and extend the lifespan of their boat.
Underwater metals protection for yachts is vital. We offer specialized antifouling paints and coatings “Propspeed” to shield propellers, rudders, and shafts from corrosion and marine growth. These solutions reduce drag, improve fuel efficiency, and extend component lifespan. Professional application ensures optimal protection and performance.
The first antifouling paint job is crucial. Proper prep, primer, and quality paint are vital, as this layer anchors all future coatings. This ensures long-term hull protection and performance.
Soda blasting is increasingly popular in nautical applications due to its gentler abrasive properties. It effectively removes antifouling paint, old coatings, and light fouling from fiberglass and aluminum hulls without damaging the underlying substrate. This method is favored for its ability to clean delicate surfaces, reducing the risk of damage compared to traditional sandblasting, while still providing a thorough cleaning necessary for proper paint adhesion.
Maximizing yacht performance and efficiency
Certified Propspeed applicators
Propspeed is not just an antifouling coating, it’s an advanced engineered underwater protection system designed to optimize the performance and durability of luxury yachts and high-performance vessels. If you’re seeking the ultimate solution to protect propellers, rudders, shafts, thrusters, and other submerged metal parts, Propspeed is the intelligent choice.
Long-lasting bio-fouling protection
Coppercoat antifoul
Coppercoat is a long-lasting, epoxy-based antifouling system with high copper content, providing up to 10 years of protection by releasing biocides. This durable barrier reduces maintenance, saves costs, and is environmentally friendly compared to traditional paints.

Antifouling Bottom Paint: Essential Hull Protection for Your Yacht.
Antifouling bottom paint is a crucial coating for any vessel that spends extended periods in the water. Designed to prevent the attachment of marine organisms like barnacles, algae, and slime, antifouling bottom paint ensures a clean hull, optimizes performance, and extends the lifespan of your vessel.
Why Antifouling Bottom Paint is Important:
Fouling Prevention: Marine organisms that attach to the hull increase drag, reducing speed and fuel efficiency. Antifouling bottom paint prevents this attachment, keeping the hull smooth and efficient.
Performance Optimization: A clean hull means less drag, resulting in higher speed and better maneuverability. Antifouling bottom paint ensures your vessel performs at its best.
Fuel Economy: Increased drag from fouling requires more engine power, resulting in higher fuel consumption. Antifouling bottom paint reduces drag, saving fuel and lowering operating costs.
Hull Protection: Fouling can damage the hull, corroding paint and compromising structural integrity. Antifouling bottom paint protects the hull, extending its lifespan and preventing costly repairs.
Simplified Maintenance: A hull protected by antifouling bottom paint is easier to clean, reducing the time and effort required for maintenance.
Types of Antifouling Bottom Paint:
Ablative Antifouling: Gradually releases biocides, wearing away over time. Ideal for vessels that sail frequently.
Hard Antifouling: Forms a hard, durable layer, ideal for high-speed vessels and areas with high fouling pressure.
Hybrid Antifouling: Combines the characteristics of ablative and hard antifoulings, offering long-lasting protection and optimized performance.
How to Choose the Ideal Antifouling Bottom Paint:
Vessel Type: Consider the type of vessel, speed, and intended use.
Navigation Area: Evaluate water conditions, temperature, and fouling pressure in your navigation area.
Hull Material: Ensure the antifouling is compatible with the hull material.
Local Regulations: Check local regulations regarding the use of biocides in antifoulings.
Antifouling Bottom Paint Applications:
Yacht and sailboat hulls
Powerboat and fishing boat hulls
Commercial vessel hulls
Keels, rudders, and other submerged parts
