Technical Data Sheet – PropOne™ System Description PropOne™ is a two-coat system comprising an anti-corrosive Primer Coat and a Foul Release Coating (Clear Coat). The Clear Coat is a non-biocidal, low surface energy coating which prevents organisms strongly adhering to the surface of the propeller and fast moving components permanently immersed in water. Organisms can be easily dislodged once the boat is placed in drive. As with all foul release coatings, when not in use, the surface will be colonized by encrusting organisms. The removal of the fouling organisms is purely a mechanical effect. The Clear Coat does not prevent marine growth by chemically poisoning the environment.

Suitable for use on all ferrous and non-ferrous marine alloys, including aluminium. 242 g/L Emitted VOC N/A 42°C ~1 hour at 20°C /55% RH, extended by lower temperature or humidity Not suitable for use in Aquaculture applications. Note: Do not apply to anodes. Time to immersion* at 55% RH: At 10°C (50°F): 16 hours, at 20°C (68°F): 12 hours. *Lower temperatures or humidity will extend cure time. Minimum application conditions: 10°C (50°F), 55% RH. Method Statement – PropOne™ System Surface Preparation1 It is essential that proper surface treatment be undertaken prior to application. Failure to prepare the surface or apply the primer correctly will lead to product failure and a reduction in the service life of the product. It is intended that solvent cleaning be used prior to the application of primer and in conjunction with surface preparation methods specified for the removal of marine growth, old coatings, rust and corrosion. 1. Remove • • • Surface Preparation foreign matter (other than grease and oil) by one or a combination of the following: Brush with stiff fibre or wire brushes. Abrade with emery cloth or mechanical abrasion disc. Scrape with an appropriate

the above remove surface contaminants. Acceptable methods include: Brushing. Wiping with a clean cloth. Blow off with clean, dry air. Vacuum cleaning. Cleaning Use a clean cloth to scrub metal surfaces with a generous amount of Prop Wash. Do not allow product to dry, applying Prop Wash to one area at a time. Immediately rinse area with clean fresh water, then wipe with a clean damp white cloth to remove Prop Wash. Repeat the process until cloth shows no discolouration. Now using a clean cloth soaked in acetone wipe all surfaces. 3. Inspect all cleaned surfaces for any contaminates. Any...
