Crystal Prop is a self-cleaning, biocide-free, non-exfoliating, long-lasting paint. Designed specifically for use on Propellers, Shafts, Struts, SailDrives, Outdrives, and other metallic underwater gear. When applied, it creates a durable hard, slick surface that marine growth does not adhere to. Crystal Prop does not need a primer, thanks to its superior adhesion to metal. This makes it extremely durable and will hold up to propeller cavitation. The Crystal Prop kit consists of two bottles containing paint and hardener, which are mixed with a 1:1 ratio. This is a single-coat application that can be applied by brush or spray.

effectiveness with more use.
Crystal Prop creates an extremely smooth propeller surface resulting in decreased water resistance. This improves the overall performance of the vessel, resulting in higher hull speed, lower fuel consumption and resistance to the onset of cavitation. Marine growth will not attach to the paint. A treated propeller cleans itself as soon as it starts rotating, unlike traditional antifouling paints Crystal Prop will not lose its effectiveness with more use.
A 100ml kit of Crystal Prop will cover:
• 3 blade, 16" propeller 5 times
• 4 blade, 20" propeller 3 times
• 3 blade, 16" propeller 1 time
• Crystal Prop is dry-to-the-touch in just 2 hours and launch-ready time of 48 hours.
• No primer is needed
• Only Clear is available at this time.
• When fully cured, Crystal Prop is an ecologically friendly product, free of harmful toxins, biocides, and metals.
• It dries to a hard and slippery surface that allows it to function like an antifouling paint.
• Marine growth can not adhere to the surface, once water flows over the surface any growth will slip off.
• Crystal Prop has a shelf life of 2 years if unopened and stored in a cool, dry place. However, once opened, it can only last up to 6 months if resealed correctly.
• For repairs then re-application is sufficient, simply sand the surfaces with 240 grit sandpaper and apply again.
