PROP ONE 250 ML

What is PropOne 250 ml and why choose it

PropOne 250 ml is a two-coat foul release system designed specifically for propellers and running gear permanently immersed in water. The system combines an anti-corrosive Primer Coat with a Clear Coat foul release coating. The Clear Coat has a low surface energy and is non-biocidal, meaning it does not work by chemically poisoning the marine environment. Instead, it reduces adhesion so that organisms are easily dislodged when the boat is in drive.

This 250 ml kit is suitable for treating smaller sets of running gear as indicated in the coverage table, offering a controlled, easy-to-apply solution for protecting propellers and fast-moving underwater components.

Main features

• Two-coat system: anti-corrosive Primer Coat plus Clear Coat foul release layer.
• Non-biocidal Clear Coat that prevents strong adhesion of organisms to the surface.
• Fouling removal is purely mechanical when the vessel is driven.
• Suitable for all ferrous and non-ferrous marine alloys, including aluminium.
• Not suitable for use in aquaculture applications.
• Designed for use on propellers and fast-moving components permanently immersed in water.
• Minimum application temperature of 5°C (40°F).
• Store between 5°C and 27°C (40°F and 80°F).

Coverage and kit selection

A 1 litre kit of PropOne covers a total area of 3.8 m². The individual components have the following coverage rates when applied correctly:

• PropOne Primer Coat: 6.3 m² per litre (two coats).
• PropOne Clear Coat: 9.5 m² per litre.

The 250 ml kit is recommended for the following running gear configurations:

• One propeller, 18"–24" with three or four blades.
• Two propellers, 18"–24" with three or four blades.
• Two propellers, two rudders and two propeller shaft struts, 18"–24" with three or four blades.
• Two propellers, two rudders, two propeller shaft struts and two trim tabs, 18"–24" with three or four blades.

System and application data

• Mixing ratio: 4 parts Primer Coat to 1 part Primer Activator by volume.
• VOC of mixed primer: 687 g/L.
• Minimum application temperature: 5 °C (40 °F).
• Recommended storage temperature: 5–27 °C (40–80 °F).
• Pot life of mixed primer: 4 hours at 25 °C (77 °F).
• Time to immersion at 55% RH:

• At 10 °C (50 °F): 16 hours.
• At 20 °C (68 °F): 12 hours.

Lower temperatures or humidity will extend cure time. Minimum application conditions are 10 °C (50 °F) and 55% relative humidity.

Note: Do not apply PropOne to anodes.

Applications and use cases

PropOne 250 ml is designed for use on marine running gear components fabricated from ferrous and non-ferrous alloys, including aluminium. Typical applications include:

• Propellers of various sizes and blade counts within the coverage limits of the 250 ml kit.
• Rudders.
• Propeller shaft struts.
• Trim tabs.

The system is intended for components that are permanently immersed in water. During vessel operation, the low surface energy Clear Coat allows colonizing organisms to be mechanically removed by water flow when the propeller and running gear are in motion.

FAQ

1. What type of system is PropOne?

PropOne is a two-coat system consisting of an anti-corrosive Primer Coat and a Clear Coat foul release coating.

2. Does PropOne kill marine organisms chemically?

No. The Clear Coat is non-biocidal and does not prevent marine growth by chemically poisoning the environment. Fouling removal is achieved mechanically when the vessel is driven.

3. On which materials can PropOne be used?

PropOne is suitable for all ferrous and non-ferrous marine alloys, including aluminium. It must not be applied to anodes.

4. Is PropOne suitable for aquaculture applications?

No. PropOne is not suitable for use in aquaculture applications.

5. What are the minimum conditions for application?

The minimum application temperature is 5 °C, with recommended minimum application conditions of 10 °C and 55% relative humidity.

6. How long can the mixed primer be used?

The pot life of the mixed Primer (Primer Coat plus Activator) is 4 hours at 25 °C.

7. When can coated components be immersed in water?

At 55% relative humidity, immersion is possible after 16 hours at 10 °C or 12 hours at 20 °C. Lower temperatures or humidity will extend the cure time.

8. How should tools be cleaned after application?

For the Primer, clean tools and equipment immediately after use with acetone. For the Clear Coat, clean tools and equipment with xylene.

9. How many coats are required?

Apply two coats of Primer Coat, followed by one coat of Clear Coat.

10. Can the Clear Coat be touched before curing?

No. Nothing should come into contact with the uncured Clear Coat until it has cured for a minimum of 12 hours.
