Unleash the power of Smooth Sailing with Sea-Slide® Formula

Sea-Slide® Formula Features

Insoluble

Insoluble

Sea-Slide® Formula coating absorbs water but is not dissolved by water and uses a unique bonded interpolymer complex to bind water to the hull.

Durable dynamic

Durable dynamic

The coating is water-based polyurethane inter-polymer dispersion, which cures while drying to a durable, hydrophilic coating.

Reduces turbulence

Reduces turbulence

It produces a surface with low interfacial energy, which reduces the turbulence generated by a boat's hull as it passes through water.

More speed, less fuel

More speed, less fuel

Reduced turbulence means less hydrodynamic drag and therefore more speed using less fuel, or in the case of sail-powered vessels, higher speeds in lighter winds.
Sea-Slide® Formula is a polymer overcoat formulated

How it works

Sea-Slide Formula coating absorbs water but is not dissolved by water and uses a unique bonded interpolymer complex to bind water to the hull.

The coating is water-based polyurethane inter-polymer dispersion, which cures while drying to a durable, hydrophilic coating. It produces a surface with a low interfacial energy, which reduces the turbulence generated by a boat’s hull as it passes through water. Reduced turbulence means less hydrodynamic drag (the boat slides through the water with far less resistance) and therefore more speed using less fuel, or in the case of sail powered vessels, higher speeds in lighter winds.

Easy to apply

Sea-Slide® Formula is easy to apply with a standard paint-brush, roller or spray gun and dries in 3 to 4 hours (above 50°F) to a hard, nearly invisible nonsticky film. Once submerged, the Sea-Slide coating takes on a slight milky appearance and becomes very slippery as the coating swells. Since the Sea-Slide coating absorbs a large amount of water, the interfacial energy between the coating and the surrounding water is lowered, leading to reduction in turbulence in the boundary layers near the ship’s hull.
Technically, the word hydrophilic means "water loving"

What are hydrophilic coatings?

Technically, the word hydrophilic means “water-loving” and refers to any material that associates closely with water. It is the opposite of hydrophobic or “water-repelling” substances, like silicone and wax. 

Sea-Slide® Formula is designed for watercraft owners to easily apply and maintain an overcoat on their watercraft for one boating season. If the watercraft is out of the
water and once the Sea-Slide overcoat is dry, it may be touched up or reapplied at anytime.

Development Invented by Our Parent Company Hydromer Inc

The technology behind our Sea-Slide® Formula originates from medical coating research and development invented by our parent company Hydromer Inc. Sea-Slide® Formula has been derived from substances utilized in medical coatings used to protect and lubricate medical devices placed in the human body. Therefore Sea-Slide® Formula is environmental friendly and safe to yourself, your watercraft and to our oceans, lakes and rivers.
