Propspeed®, a leading innovator in biocide-free, foul-release coatings, announced today the debut of its newest coating for various surface types, Foulfree™ Multi-Surface System, offering a foul-release solution to a wide range of components fitted to an expanded range of vessel types from RIBs to center consoles and cruisers to pleasure yachts.

Engineered to adhere to a wide range of substrates, Foulfree brings Propspeed's proven performance to various underwater components. This system is perfect for the painted aluminum of outboard skegs; plastic, nylon or composite stabilization systems; as well as thrusters, fins and even RIB tubes. Providing industry-leading foul-release protection, Foulfree Multi-Surface delivers superior adhesion and durability for season-lasting performance in salt or freshwater marine environments. It applies clear, offering invisible, non-invasive protection for a seamless aesthetic that blends naturally for a clean, professional finish below the waterline.

"The marine industry continues to push forward with innovations that provide boaters greater confidence, comfort, and performance when out on the water," said Marcus Hamilton, CEO, Propspeed. "Yet, the very components that make this possible, such as thrusters, stabilizing systems, outboard skegs and RIB tubes, face constant threats from marine growth that can compromise efficiency and effectiveness. The new Foulfree Multi-Surface System is engineered to keep fouling from adhering to these critical components and safeguarding optimal performance all season long."

The Foulfree Multi-Surface is available in two kit sizes, Small and Medium, that apply effortlessly. Both kits include all necessary components for quick and easy application, saving time. With only a 10-minute overcoat window (20 degreesC / 68 degreesF) and just 12 hours to full cure, boaters can be back on the water the next day.

For decades Propspeed has been the go-to foul-release coating for underwater metals, preventing marine growth from adhering to propellers and running gear. This new product opens a whole new segment of boaters to the benefits of biocide-free, foul-release coatings - from outboard-powered center consoles and mid-size cruisers, to RIBs of all sizes and missions. It expands the Propspeed product line by extending foul-release protection to components that previously went unprotected or relied on antifouling paints - often invasive, biocide-heavy, and prone to compromising engineered aesthetics.

The Foulfree Multi-Surface System is being shown for the first time at IBEX, October 7-9 at the Tampa Convention Center. To learn more, visit the Propspeed booth, 3-2114.
