Reduced Fuel Consumption: This method of polymer-based, super-smooth and superhydrophobic (a low electronic affinity for water molecules) propeller coating results in fuel savings from a direct reduction in the propeller drag coefficient thus requiring less shaft power to turn the propeller at the same RPM and pitch setting.
Reduced Cavitation: The coatings super-smooth and superhydrophobic nature reduces the drag coefficient and thus modifies the propeller cavitation characteristics.
Reduction in Propeller Erosion Corrosion: When a new propeller is immersed in sea water it becomes the cathode in the hull-propeller electrolytic cell. This coating effectively insulates the propeller from interaction with the vessel hull due to its excellent dielectric properties.
Increase in Propeller Efficiency: The increase in efficiency is gained by a reduction in propeller drag due to surface roughness improvements and the coatings’ superhydrophobic characteristic.
Zero VOC Coating: When considering the life cycle of the coating system with zero VOCs from application to removal there are no environmentally hazardous effects.
Strong, Durable Coating: The following unique qualities are fundamental to its effectiveness; high flexural and impact strength, excellent cavitation resistance, compressive yield strength, high adhesion tensile sheer strength and excellent abrasion resistance.
