The IMCS SPEED range is a clear, two-component, waterborne coating system that stops marine growth from bonding to the surface. Less drag, higher speed and 10–15% lower fuel consumption, with no biocides released into the sea.
Formulated for professional applicators, shipyards and fleet operators.
Advanced marine coatings, antifouling systems, primers, and finishing solutions engineered for superior hydrodynamic performance and environmental protection.
*Best results with IMCS SPEED Propeller on the propeller and IMCS SPEED Hull on the hull. Figures from the IMCS technical datasheets.
The IMCS SPEED foul-release range
One chemistry, tuned for each underwater surface. Every variant is a clear, waterborne, two-component coating system, supplied as A+B sets with application instructions.
Waterborne two-component coating system
For propellers, shafts, thrusters and all moving underwater metal. Suits bronze, copper, aluminium and steel, and holds through cavitation and shear.
| Surfaces | Propellers, shafts, thrusters |
|---|---|
| Substrates | Bronze, copper, aluminium, steel |
| Bare metal | IMCS Propeller Primer first |
Waterborne two-component coating system
For motor-yacht hulls and fixed underwater parts at planing and cruising speeds. Replaces the antifouling layer with a smooth, low-energy surface on GRP, steel, aluminium and wood.
| Surfaces | Hull and fixed underwater parts |
|---|---|
| Substrates | GRP, steel, aluminium, wood |
| Bare metal | IMCS Epoxy Primer first |
Waterborne two-component coating system
For sailing hulls, where surface smoothness decides boat speed. Tuned for displacement speeds and long periods at the mooring.
| Surfaces | Sailing hulls, keel, rudder |
|---|---|
| Substrates | GRP, steel, aluminium, wood |
| Bare metal | IMCS Epoxy Primer first |
Waterborne two-component coating system
The smoothest formulation in the range, made first of all for jet-ski hulls, and for other racing hulls where surface finish decides tenths of a knot.
| Surfaces | Jet-ski and racing hulls |
|---|---|
| Substrates | GRP and composite, aluminium, steel |
| Bare metal | IMCS Epoxy Primer first |
Waterborne two-component coating system
For seawater intakes and the other water-carrying pipework inside a vessel, and for the pump tunnel and jet nozzle of jet skis. Keeps internal waterways free of growth so flow and cooling stay at design capacity.
| Surfaces | Seawater intakes, onboard pipework, jet-ski pump and nozzle |
|---|---|
| Substrates | Metal and GRP waterways |
| Bare metal | IMCS Propeller Primer first |

Physical release, not chemical action.
Conventional antifouling works by slowly leaching biocides. IMCS SPEED builds an ultra-smooth film with very low surface energy: organisms cannot form a strong bond, and whatever settles is shed as soon as the vessel moves.
Because the mechanism is mechanical, IMCS SPEED is not a biocidal product under EU 528/2012 (BPR). No approval cycles, no leaching, no restricted waters.
Water-based and free of flammable solvents. Tools wash with water. Not classified as dangerous goods for ADR, IMDG or ICAO transport.
Meets the VOC Directive 2004/42/EC and the AFS Convention (EC 782/2003) on organotin-free hull systems. CLP/REACH safety data sheets accompany the first order.
IMCS SPEED sits on top of a complete professional coating system. The SHIELD and MX antifoulings are conventional products that work with biocidal active substances; only the SPEED range is biocide-free and works with a physical release mechanism. All IMCS products are formulated for professional and industrial use, not for retail.
| Antifouling (biocidal) | Conventional antifoulings with biocidal active substances: SHIELD 39-03, 39-04 and XT self-polishing antifoulings for up to 40 knots, SHIELD SPC multi-season copolymer tested in warm Mediterranean waters, MX MATRIX hard-matrix antifouling for up to 45 knots, and PROPELLER SINGLE for running gear. |
|---|---|
| Primers and fillers | Two-component EPOXY PRIMER rated C4/C5 to ISO 12944, PRIMER 1K tie-coat, PROPELLER PRIMER for submerged metals, and 100%-solids EPOXY FILLER N1 and N2 for keel and osmosis repairs. |
| Topcoats and decks | IMCS 2K acrylic polyurethane, 1K polyurethane and 1K ALKYD enamels, plus 1K DECK ALKYD and waterborne 2K DECK anti-slip coatings with UV filters. |
| Varnishes and specialties | 2K ACRYLIC clear topcoat, 1K marine VARNISH, RUST CONVERTER for steel and cast iron, and ELASTIC INSULATOR liquid electrical tape for marine wiring. |
| Thinners | THINNER 30, 45, 50 and 88 matched to each IMCS system, and pure ACETONE for surface preparation. |
Founded by a chemist. Developed by a team.
IMCS was founded in 2021 by a chemist to develop high-performance materials for demanding marine applications. Today a team of chemists and other specialists formulates, tests and refines every product, stepping in where conventional solutions fall short or cannot adapt. Alongside coatings, IMCS provides accredited water, oil and fuel analyses and specialised environmental studies.
Every product is formulated for professional and industrial use, from core systems to specialty formulations.
The IMCS SPEED range lowers hydrodynamic drag and friction, raising acceleration and range while cutting fuel burn.
The cured IMCS SPEED film contains no active biocides. The only preservatives present are the trace amounts that protect the product in the can from mould, and they play no part in how the coating works in the water.
