One boat can have several underwater materials that do not respond to a single conventional antifouling treatment. Propspeed has expanded Foulfree into a Multi-Surface System intended for components including outboard lower units, thrusters and some RIB tube materials.
The company describes a clear foul-release approach without relying on biocides. The correct preparation and compatible substrate remain crucial to any claimed protection.
Different components, one process
The supplier describes cleaning, priming and clear coating across a broad range of surfaces. Its testing covered more than twenty substrate classes, including plastics, composites and painted parts.
Those findings do not establish compatibility with every finish or damaged component. A manufacturer-specific approval is needed before coating unusual materials.
Why a small boat may benefit
A RIB or dayboat can combine metal fittings, a painted outboard leg and flexible tube material near the waterline. Using a suitable system may simplify maintenance planning when the surfaces are approved.
A clear finish does not make marine growth disappear permanently. Cleaning and periodic inspection remain important.
Choose application carefully
Proper preparation matters as much as the product itself, and applying the wrong coating can damage components or affect warranties. Qualified advice is sensible for expensive underwater gear.
