PropGlide
Advanced Marine Protection Technology
PropGlide began its innovation journey in 2006 to develop an affordable coating solution that would solve fouling issues on propellers and running gear, investing over 10 years of research and development across three continents. The brand was officially introduced into several global markets in 2016, quickly establishing itself as a trusted name among boat owners seeking effective, environmentally responsible marine protection.
How Foul-Release Technology Works
Unlike traditional antifoulants, PropGlide is a foul-release coating that contains no harmful biocides and performs through its super slick surface. This ultra-smooth coating keeps propellers clean from marine growth for extended periods. The technology works on a simple but effective principle: it creates a super slippery surface that prevents growth from attaching to props and underwater metal. When barnacles or other marine organisms attempt to colonize the treated surface, they simply slide off as the vessel moves through the water.
Performance and Efficiency Benefits
PropGlide dramatically reduces drag on propellers and running gear caused by even the smallest fouling, translating directly into measurable performance gains. Clean running gear allows engines to operate more efficiently, providing more efficiency and saving money on fuel costs. Boat owners can expect higher RPM and improved vessel speed compared to fouled surfaces, while also reducing the frequency of haul-outs and underwater cleaning maintenance.
Environmental Responsibility
As a foul-release coating rather than an antifoulant, PropGlide contains no harmful biocides, making it safe for marine ecosystems. The coating can be used in any type of water, including fresh water, salt water, and brackish water conditions. This versatility makes PropGlide suitable for vessels operating in diverse environments, from coastal cruisers to inland lake boats, without compromising environmental standards.
User-Friendly Application
PropGlide is easy to apply for do-it-yourselfers and not just for professional applicators. The product is available in four easy-to-use size kits, allowing boat owners to select the appropriate volume for their specific needs. PropGlide offers 25% more product per kit size compared to competitive alternatives, providing better value while maintaining high performance standards that marine professionals and recreational boaters have come to trust.
