ABOUT

Auckland, New Zealand – Propspeed^®, the leading innovator of underwater foul-release coatings, announced today a new product, technology, and technique with its Like A Pro toolkit.

The toolkit was developed to elevate confidence, increase accessibility and empower all marine businesses and boaters alike with Propspeed’s industry-leading foul-release system, support and service. The new Propspeed Coverage Calculator™ gives confidence in quoting how much product is needed for any-sized application, while the Stripspeed™ product is specifically designed to remove old foul-release coatings simplifying the preparation process and saving time, and the new Propspeed application kit makes application easy, increases finish quality and significantly reduces total time to complete the job. Through the adoption of this combination of tools, anyone can now Propspeed Like a Pro.

Beginning with its all-new online Coverage Calculator, Propspeed easily and intuitively helps guide applicators and boaters to estimate how much product is needed to coat the underwater assets of a vessel, no matter the size or configuration. The easy-to-use and navigate solution guides users through selecting either a powerboat or sailboat; monohull or multihull; size of the boat; number of engines and type of propulsion; and between coating bow and stern thrusters, swim platforms, trim tabs and shaft and struts. It further includes an estimation for the amount of Stripspeed needed for surface preparation, Lightspeed for underwater lights and Foulfree for transducers. With exceptional attention to detail, the images on the website change to give users a graphical representation of their vessel as each selection is made. The Coverage Calculator removes the guesswork and answers “How much do I need?” in seconds.

Propspeed recently released Stripspeed which, as part of the Like A Pro approach, helps users Prep Like A Pro. Selected as one of Boating Industry’s Top Products for 2023, Stripspeed saves applicators time and money on their Propspeed applications by speeding up the prepping process of metal surfaces. The many boatyards applying Propspeed have previously shared comments on the difficulty of removing old coating, particularly when applied to tricky areas, like swim platform arms. The thick consistency of Stripspeed easily hangs on vertical and overhead surfaces, making it easy to use on hard-to-reach areas. The industry now reports that using Stripspeed can save them one-third of the removal time. Stripspeed is non-flammable, non-caustic, DCM- and NMP-free, and doesn’t create airborne particles or debris. Unlike grinding or using abrasives, Stripspeed doesn’t cause mechanical wear through multiple refits, increasing the lifetime and performance of the metal.

The final part of the Like A Pro approach is an all-new Propspeed Application Kit and a new application technique. The new application kit includes two paint trays, a roller handle, and two four-inch Propspeed rollers, one for use with the etch base and one for use with the clear coat. The rollers accomplish a more consistent finish than brushing, whether done by a professional applicator or a DIYer. The new application technique is easy to learn and, when done properly, requires less time than the previous application technique. It is also easier than other methods due to the increased surface area coverage rate.

“The Like a Pro toolkit is the result of our partners, people, and customers sharing with us how we can make Propspeed an even more valuable part of their marine business or boating experience,” said Marcus Hamilton, CEO, Propspeed. “As the industry leader in foul-release coatings, we have a responsibility to solve customer and industry problems, and that means we need to continually evolve and innovate as a business. New product releases are important, but we have always been focused on value-creating investments above and beyond product releases, and these new initiatives are a perfect example of that. Paired with our global team of in-field technical and sales professionals, we are confident that our applicators and customers alike have access to the industry-leading foul-release system, support and service they need.”

Propspeed products include Propspeed for running gear and any underwater metals, Foulfree for transducers, Lightspeed for underwater lighting and Stripspeed for easy preparation of surfaces for coating application, the perfect combination for refit season.

PROPSPEED LANCIA IL KIT LIKE A PRO™ PER AZIENDE MARINE E DIPORTISTI

RIASSUNTO

Propspeed®, leader nell'innovazione dei rivestimenti anti-incrostazione subacquei, ha annunciato oggi un nuovo prodotto, tecnologia e tecnica con il suo kit Like A Pro.

A PROPOSITO

Auckland, New Zealand – Propspeed®, leader nell'innovazione dei rivestimenti anti-incrostazione subacquei, ha annunciato oggi un nuovo prodotto, tecnologia e tecnica con il suo kit Like A Pro.

Il toolkit è stato sviluppato per aumentare la fiducia, migliorare l'accessibilità e dare potere a tutte le aziende marine e ai diportisti con il sistema anti-incrostazione leader del settore di Propspeed, il supporto e il servizio. Il nuovo Propspeed Coverage Calculator™ offre sicurezza nel preventivare la quantità di prodotto necessaria per qualsiasi applicazione, mentre il prodotto Stripspeed™ è specificamente progettato per rimuovere vecchi rivestimenti anti-incrostazione, semplificando il processo di preparazione e risparmiando tempo, e il nuovo kit di applicazione Propspeed facilita l'applicazione, aumenta la qualità della finitura e riduce significativamente il tempo totale necessario per completare il lavoro. Adottando questa combinazione di strumenti, chiunque può ora applicare Propspeed come un professionista.

Iniziando con il nuovissimo Coverage Calculator online, Propspeed guida facilmente e intuitivamente gli applicatori e i diportisti a stimare la quantità di prodotto necessaria per rivestire i beni subacquei di una nave, indipendentemente dalla dimensione o configurazione. La soluzione facile da usare guida gli utenti nella selezione di una barca a motore o a vela; monoscafo o multiscafo; dimensioni della barca; numero di motori e tipo di propulsione; e tra il rivestimento di propulsori di prua e di poppa, piattaforme da bagno, flap di assetto e albero e supporti. Include inoltre una stima della quantità di Stripspeed necessaria per la preparazione delle superfici, Lightspeed per le luci subacquee e Foulfree per i trasduttori. Con un'attenzione eccezionale ai dettagli, le immagini sul sito web cambiano per offrire agli utenti una rappresentazione grafica della loro nave ad ogni selezione effettuata. Il Coverage Calculator elimina le congetture e risponde alla domanda "Di quanto ho bisogno?" in pochi secondi.

Propspeed ha recentemente rilasciato Stripspeed che, come parte dell'approccio Like A Pro, aiuta gli utenti a prepararsi come un professionista. Selezionato come uno dei Top Products di Boating Industry per il 2023, Stripspeed fa risparmiare tempo e denaro agli applicatori Propspeed accelerando il processo di preparazione delle superfici metalliche. I numerosi cantieri navali che applicano Propspeed hanno precedentemente segnalato la difficoltà di rimuovere vecchi rivestimenti, in particolare quando applicati a aree difficili, come i bracci delle piattaforme da bagno. La consistenza densa di Stripspeed aderisce facilmente alle superfici verticali e aeree, rendendolo facile da usare su aree difficili da raggiungere. Il settore ora riporta che l'uso di Stripspeed può far risparmiare un terzo del tempo di rimozione. Stripspeed è non infiammabile, non caustico, privo di DCM e NMP, e non crea particelle o detriti sospesi nell'aria. A differenza della levigatura o dell'uso di abrasivi, Stripspeed non causa usura meccanica attraverso molteplici rifacimenti, aumentando la durata e le prestazioni del metallo.

L'ultima parte dell'approccio Like A Pro è un nuovissimo Kit di Applicazione Propspeed e una nuova tecnica di applicazione. Il nuovo kit di applicazione include due vassoi per la vernice, un manico per rullo e due rulli Propspeed da quattro pollici, uno per l'uso con la base etch e uno per l'uso con il trasparente. I rulli realizzano una finitura più uniforme rispetto alla spazzolatura, sia che venga effettuata da un applicatore professionale o da un fai-da-te. La nuova tecnica di applicazione è facile da apprendere e, se eseguita correttamente, richiede meno tempo rispetto alla precedente tecnica di applicazione. È anche più facile di altri metodi grazie al tasso di copertura della superficie aumentato.

"Il toolkit Like a Pro è il risultato dei nostri partner, persone e clienti che ci condividono come possiamo rendere Propspeed una parte ancora più preziosa della loro attività marina o esperienza di navigazione," ha dichiarato Marcus Hamilton, CEO di Propspeed. "Come leader del settore nei rivestimenti anti-incrostazione, abbiamo la responsabilità di risolvere i problemi dei clienti e del settore, e ciò significa che dobbiamo evolverci e innovare continuamente come azienda. Il rilascio di nuovi prodotti è importante, ma ci siamo sempre concentrati su investimenti che creano valore al di là del rilascio di prodotti, e queste nuove iniziative ne sono un perfetto esempio. Insieme al nostro team globale di professionisti tecnici e di vendita sul campo, siamo sicuri che i nostri applicatori e clienti abbiano accesso al sistema anti-incrostazione leader del settore, al supporto e al servizio di cui hanno bisogno."

I prodotti Propspeed includono Propspeed per l'attrezzatura in movimento e qualsiasi metallo subacqueo, Foulfree per trasduttori, Lightspeed per illuminazione subacquea e Stripspeed per la preparazione delle superfici per l'applicazione dei rivestimenti, la combinazione perfetta per la stagione dei refit.
