PROP ONE WASH

What is Prop One Wash and why choose it

Prop One Wash is the dedicated cleaning product used in the PropOne System surface preparation process. It is applied to metal surfaces such as propellers and running gear before the anti-corrosive Primer Coat and Clear Coat are applied. Correct use of Prop One Wash helps remove contaminants and residues, supporting optimal adhesion of the PropOne coatings and contributing to the overall performance and service life of the system.

Main features

• Designed specifically for cleaning metal surfaces prior to application of the PropOne two-coat system.
• Used with Prop Wash Wipes to thoroughly scrub marine propellers and running gear.
• Allows targeted cleaning by working one area at a time so the product does not dry on the surface.
• Rinses off with clean fresh water, followed by wiping with a clean damp white cloth until no discolouration is visible.
• Forms part of a surface preparation process derived from SSPC-SP 1 solvent cleaning standards.

Applications and use cases

• Preparation of propellers prior to applying PropOne Primer Coat and Clear Coat.
• Cleaning of other running gear components included in the PropOne System, such as rudders, propeller shaft struts and trim tabs, before coating.
• Removal of surface contaminants after mechanical cleaning methods such as brushing, abrasion or scraping.

Surface preparation process (with Prop One Wash)

1. After removing marine growth, rust, corrosion and old coatings by brushing, abrasion or scraping, remove loose surface contaminants by brushing, wiping, blowing with clean dry air or vacuum cleaning.
2. Using the Prop Wash Wipe provided, scrub the metal surfaces. Apply Prop One Wash to one area at a time and do not allow the product to dry on the surface.
3. Immediately rinse the treated area with clean fresh water.
4. Wipe with a clean damp white cloth to remove Prop One Wash and repeat the process until the cloth shows no discolouration.
5. After using Prop One Wash, wipe all surfaces with a clean cloth soaked in acetone before applying the PropOne coatings.

FAQ

1. What is the role of Prop One Wash in the PropOne System?

2. How should Prop One Wash be applied?

Use the Prop Wash Wipe provided to scrub the metal surface, working on one area at a time and ensuring the product does not dry on the surface.

3. How do I remove Prop One Wash after scrubbing?

Immediately rinse the area with clean fresh water, then wipe with a clean damp white cloth. Repeat until the cloth shows no discolouration.

4. What should be done after using Prop One Wash and before coating?

After cleaning with Prop One Wash, wipe all surfaces with a clean cloth soaked in acetone, then proceed directly with the application of the PropOne Primer Coat.

5. On which surfaces can Prop One Wash be used?

Prop One Wash is used on metal surfaces that will be coated with the PropOne System, such as propellers and other running gear components.

6. Why is it important that Prop One Wash does not dry on the surface?

The method statement specifies that Prop One Wash should be applied to one area at a time and not allowed to dry, to ensure complete removal of contaminants and residues during rinsing and wiping.

7. Is Prop One Wash sufficient on its own for surface preparation?

No. It is intended to be used after mechanical methods such as brushing, abrasion or scraping that remove marine growth, old coatings, rust and corrosion.

8. When should the PropOne coatings be applied after using Prop One Wash?

The PropOne system should be applied immediately once the surfaces have been cleaned, rinsed, wiped and treated with acetone as described.
