HYSPEEDKOTE IS CURRENTLY OUT OF STOCK

Hyspeedkote Orders Call - 1300 88 333 2

Hyspeedkote™ is an exciting, easy to apply hull coating and depending on the type of hull, can literally increase a boats efficiency and performacne by 25% and more in a single applicaton.

Hyspeedkote™ is a breaktrhoughy in marine coatings. Contrary to popular belief, waxes and coatings that shed water are counterproductive. These hydrophobic or water repelling coatings create a "dry" surface, which actually increases drag on a hulll. A dry hull moving in and out of the water continously slowsthe craft down each time it re-enters the water. This "sticking" effect occurs continously as the craft is temporarily airborne from rough water and upon re-entry makes for a very rough ride.

Hyspeedkote™ is a water insoluble polymer coating that actually holds a continuous film of water on underwater surfaces. The resulting effect of water against water reduces resistance (drag) and increases efficiency, offering one or more of the following benefits:

Reduced fuel consumption

Quicker acceleration, decreased distance and time it takes to plane power craft and for sailing/paddling hulls to get up to speed.

A remarkably more comfortable ride, no matter the hull material or water condition, also far less bow slap and pounding.

A quieter hull at all speeds, and additional speed for racing, getting to a fishing hole, or cruising

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.

Dependent on hull configuration. Deeper hulls require more product.

Length/ Type, Beam, Product Needed

Skis, kayaks, boards, wind

surfers, lures, etc.3', 1.5 oz. can (covers approx. 20 sq. ft.)

8’-10’ PWC, 5' - 6’, 3.5 oz. can (covers approx. 50 sq. ft.)

13'-16’ Hull, 6’ - 8’, 7 oz. can (covers approx. 100 sq. ft.)

17’-23’ Hull, 6' - 8’, 14 oz. can (covers approx. 200 sq. ft.)

23'-28’ Hull, n/a , 14 oz. can + 7 oz. can (covers approx. 300 sq. ft.)

To more accurately estimate how many ounces are required you must know the square footage of the hull beneath the waterline. Multiplying the length by the beam will give you that figure for shallow draft vessels. For deep-V hulls, fixed keel sailboats and such, the additional underwater surface must also be taken into account. Also account for drives, trim tabs, paddles, and the like.

Q: Can I put HSK on any kind of boat? A: Yes. HSK can be used on fiberglass, aluminum, plastic, rubber and varnished wooden hulls, water skis, surf boards and so on. You can use it on any surface that touches the water.

Q: Will HSK prevent the growth of algae or barnacles? A: No. HSK will not prevent the growth of organisms.

Q: How difficult is HSK to apply? A: It's a very simple process. Just point and spray a light mist on the surface.

Q: Do I have to do anything special like sand or prime the bottom of my boat? A: No. Just clean the surface with soap and water to remove all dirt and grime. Then wipe the surface with isopropyl alcohol and make sure the surface is dry before you spray.

Q: Are there any conditions I should avoid when spraying? A: We recommend that you do not spray your boat on windy days or in direct sunlight.

Q: Should I apply more that one coat each time I use HSK? A: No. Please remember that with HSK, more is NOT better. All that's required for optimum performance is a single fine misting of the hull.

Q: Is HSK easy to see as it's being sprayed? A: HSK is not easy to see. You need to visually map out the areas you want to spray. Look closely at the surface you're spraying from various angles and you'll see a light haze on the coated area.

Q: How long after I apply HSK do I have to wait before I put my boat in the water? A: We recommend that you wait one hour before you launch your boat.

Q: What does "wet out" time mean? A: Wet out time is the time that HSK initially needs to absorb water. After the first time, wet out occurs almost immediately.

Q: What happens if I apply HSK and wait two weeks before launching my boat? A: This will not affect the performance or the "wet out" time of the product.

Q: Do I have to let my boat sit or can I drive it during the initial wet out period? A: It makes no difference whether the boat is stationary or moving.

Q: What happens if I put too much HSK on my hull? Does this change the performance of my vessel? A: Excessive spray will not affect performance. However, you will notice a light amber coloration that can be eliminated by wiping sprayed surface with an alcohol moistened soft cloth.

Q: Do you guarantee better fuel economy? A: No. But in tests performed by independent boat owners and manufacturers there has been a decrease in fuel consumption.

Q: Will an application of HSK make my boat slip off a trailer or forklift? A: No. HSK does not make a hull or other underwater surface slippery or slimy.

Q: Should I wax the bottom of my hull after HSK has been applied? A: Not necessary. HSK provides far more benefits than does waxing.

Q: Can I wash my boat with the same products I used before applying HSK? A: Yes. HSK dries to a hard finish and is water insoluble.

Q:Can HSK be applied over anti-fouling paint? A: It can but doing so will limit the paint's anti-fouling properties since HSK does not shed barnacles.

Q: Does loading and unloading my boat from a trailer remove HSK? A: No.

Q: Does beaching my boat remove HSK? A: Excessive beaching will remove HSK as it would any coating.

Q: If HSK holds a layer of water on my hull, will it cause blistering? A:No, it actually creates a barrier between the water and the hull.
