SonicShield – Ultrasonic Anti-Fouling
SonicShield is a state-of-the-art ultrasonic anti-fouling technology engineered, designed, and manufactured in the Netherlands. As an innovative alternative to traditional Impressed Current Anti-Fouling (ICAF) systems, SonicShield offers a sustainable, non-toxic solution to combat marine fouling.
How It Works
Unlike conventional ICAF systems that rely on copper anodes to prevent marine growth, SonicShield utilizes high-frequency sound waves to disrupt the adhesion of marine organisms on vessel surfaces.
This technology eliminates the need for chemicals and heavy metals, making it an environmentally friendly option.
Key Benefits
- Sustainability:
SonicShield provides an eco-friendly alternative by avoiding the use of toxic substances, aligning with modern environmental standards. - Cost-Effective:
With no costly anodes to replace, the system requires less maintenance, translating into long-term savings for shipowners and operators. - Efficiency:The ultrasonic technology effectively prevents biofouling, ensuring optimal hull performance and fuel efficiency.
- Innovative Design:
Developed in the Netherlands, SonicShield combines advanced engineering with reliable performance, making it an attractive choice for modern vessels.
SonicShield is rapidly gaining popularity among shipowners and operators seeking a more sustainable and cost-effective anti-fouling solution. Contact us today to learn how SonicShield can enhance your vessel’s performance while promoting environmental stewardship.

ULTIMATE PROTECTION AGAINST MARINE GROWTH AND CORROSION
Foul-release coating for all underwater metals
Propspeed is the original foul-release coating, recognised globally as the best solution to prevent marine growth on running gear and all underwater metals. Our super slick coating system saves you time and money through increased efficiency and reduced maintenance costs.
“Before using Propspeed, we had as much as 4 inches (10 centimetres) of growth on the propeller shaft. With Propspeed applied, our running gear is now free of growth.”

ALL-IN-ONE PROTECTION
Defense against both marine growth and corrosion for all underwater metal assets.
SUPERIOR ADHESION TO METAL
Strong long-lasting adhesion to metals that makes Propspeed unparalleled to other products on the market.
OPERATIONAL READINESS
Propspeed keeps underwater metals free from marine growth, ensuring that your vessel can run at peak efficiency throughout its entire service cycle.
REDUCE COST AND SAVE FUEL
Our super slick coating system saves time and money through increased efficiency and reduced maintenance costs.
STOP THE TRANSFER OF INVASIVE SPECIES
Growth releases when the vessel reaches cruising speed, preventing invasive species from being transferred to other regions.

PROPSPEED® COMMERCIAL
Propspeed is a two-part coating system that features an exceptionally strong chemical and mechanical bond between the metal substrate, the Etching Primer, and the Clear Coat.
The Propspeed Etching Primer is known for its iconic gold colour, tenacious adhesion to metal substrates, and superior corrosion resistance. The Propspeed Clear Coat provides a super slick surface that marine growth cannot adhere to. Combined, they form a coating that is unrivalled in performance, supporting vessel readiness and ensuring that your vessel can run at its peak throughout the entire season.
Propspeed also reduces the risk of corrosion by electrically isolating the metal, as well as limiting the exchanges between the ions and the gases contained in the water and the metal. In short, if a reaction can’t occur, there will be no corrosion!
The Propspeed system is suitable for use on propellers, shafts, rudders, struts, keel coolers, pod drives, thrusters, fire suppression pumps, and any other underwater metal surface.
In the kit:
2 PROPPREP
This kit contains 500ml of Propprep. Propprep is critical in the chemical preparation of the metal surface to be coated.
3a&b ETCHING PRIMER BASE & HARDENER
This kit contains 2x 960ml Etching Primer Base and 2x 240ml Etching Primer Hardener. The Etching Primer is the origin of the radiant gold colour. Combined they are one of the best underwater Etching Primers on the market. Known best for its tenacious adhesion and corrosion resistance.
4 CLEAR COAT
This kit contains 1280ml Clear Coat, a non-toxic, a silicone topcoat which forms a super slick outer layer that marine growth cannot adhere to, improving speed and reducing fuel costs.
