PROP ONE

<h3>About PropOne: Australia&apos;s Leading Propeller Foul Release Coating</h3><p>If you&apos;ve ever hauled your boat out of the water to find barnacles, tubeworms, and slime blanketing your propeller and running gear, you already understand the problem PropOne was built to solve. <strong>PropOne</strong> is an Australian-made, non-biocidal foul release coating engineered specifically to protect underwater metals — propellers, shafts, rudders, trim tabs, and other fast-moving components — from the relentless challenge of marine fouling.</p><p>Founded and based in Matraville, New South Wales, PropOne has grown steadily since its launch in 2012 into a globally trusted name. Today, the coating is applied to thousands of boats every year, with a track record spanning more than a decade across boatyards, superyacht fleets, and weekend cruisers on every continent.</p><h3>How PropOne Works</h3><p>Unlike traditional antifouling paints that rely on toxic biocides — such as copper compounds — to chemically kill marine organisms, PropOne takes a fundamentally different approach. The system uses a two-coat process: a primer coat bonds to the metal substrate, followed by a clear silicone foul release topcoat that creates an ultra-low-energy, super-slick surface. Marine organisms simply cannot grip this surface effectively, and the hydrodynamic force of moving water through the water sheds any loose growth naturally.</p><p>This matters more than many boaters realize. Research shows that even modest levels of fouling on a propeller can cause efficiency losses of around 20%, while heavy fouling can reduce efficiency by as much as 70%. A clean, smooth propeller is not just an aesthetic concern — it directly affects speed, fuel consumption, and overall vessel performance.</p><p>Because PropOne&apos;s foul release mechanism is entirely physical rather than chemical, it carries significant environmental advantages. There is no leaching of copper or other biocide residues into marina waters, and the coating performs equally well in both fresh and saltwater environments, since its properties are not affected by salinity.</p><h3>The PropOne Product Range</h3><p>PropOne offers its flagship foul release system in multiple kit sizes, making it practical for everything from a small outboard-powered runabout to a large twin-shaft commercial or superyacht vessel. Each kit contains a primer coat, primer activator, foul release clear coat, prep wipes, and application accessories — everything needed for a complete, professional-quality application. The coating is designed to remain effective for up to two years in the water, dramatically reducing the frequency of haul-outs and re-applications compared to conventional antifouling paints.</p><p>For boaters with underwater lighting, PropOne also offers its <strong>Underwater Light Coating (ULC)</strong> — a highly transparent foul release formula designed specifically for light lenses that prevents fouling growth without any reduction in light output. The brand&apos;s <strong>Cleaners &amp; Removers</strong> line rounds out the system, providing purpose-built surface preparation and stripping products to ensure optimal adhesion and performance at every application.</p><h3>A Family-Owned Brand Built on Results</h3><p>PropOne is a family-owned business, and that ethos shows in its approach to customer support. The company maintains a global network of accredited applicators — trained professionals who can apply PropOne to your vessel correctly and efficiently — as well as multilingual application guides for English, Spanish, French, and Italian speakers. Whether you&apos;re a professional boatyard, a superyacht captain, or a weekend sailor, PropOne&apos;s combination of high-quality Australian manufacturing, affordable pricing, and proven real-world results makes it one of the most compelling choices in the marine coating market today.</p>

Product Details

The PROP ONE 2042 Primer Activator is a critical component of the PropOne two-component 4:1 etching primer system. When mixed with the PropOne Primer Coat, this activator chemically cures to protect metallic surfaces against corrosion and creates the proper adhesion layer for the PropOne Clear Coat.

Key Features:

  • 4:1 mixing ratio - one 60ml bottle of activator per can of primer
  • Suitable for both ferrous and non-ferrous marine metals
  • Mixed primer has a 4-hour pot life at 25°C (77°F)
  • Easy application - add one whole bottle slowly to primer while mixing, then mix for 2 minutes
  • Essential component for the PropOne foul-release coating system

PropOne is a non-toxic foul-release coating system that prevents marine growth from adhering to propellers and underwater running gear, with a proven track record of over 8 years on thousands of boats worldwide. This product is the Primer Activator component only; other system components are sold separately.

Application Note: Mix primer and activator at temperatures between 5°C - 30°C for optimal results.
