How to Apply

Waxes, silicones, and other sealants that many boaters apply to enhance performance, or those contained in gelcoat as part of the mould release process, are actually counterproductive. These water repelling coatings, called hydrophobic, create a "dry" surface that only increases drag.

Since HyspeedkoteŽ is a hydrophilic coating, one that attracts water, it allows your boat to move through the water with less effort, regardless of composition, configuration, or size.   

Once applied—a  light misting is all that's required—this long lasting polymer coating dramatically reduces the drag caused by surface tension between water and underwater surfaces. In fact, the more coated surface in the water the greater the increase in efficiency. (It can be applied over bottom paint but its long-lasting qualities will be diminished as the bottom paint erodes.)  

How it Works

Once the coating has dried, the boat is launched and left in the water for an hour. This is called the wet-out period. During this time the polymer in Hyspeedkote slowly expands just as a dry sponge does after being placed in water.  

Think of the expanding polymer as millions of small branches growing from the bottom surface of your boat. At the end of each branch are hydroxyls. Like magnets, these hydroxyls bond the water molecules to the polymer. This is how Hyspeedkote keeps a continuous film of water on hulls to reduce drag.
