XGIT-VORTEX™

Optimal Strategy for Peak Propeller Performance ​

1. Uncoated, no polishing
   Fouling builds from biofilm to slime to hard calcareous growth. Added power rises quickly and plateaus around ~6% with no restoration in performance
   
   
2. Uncoated, polishing every 12M
   Polishing restores the surface once per year, but the propeller spends several months in degraded condition. Peak ~5%, average ~3.4%.​
   
   
3. Uncoated, polishing every 6M
   More frequent recovery keeps peak lower at ~3.8%, average ~2.2%, but increases intervention frequency and cost.​
   
   
4. XGIT-VORTEX + 12M soft cleaning
   Low surface energy and smooth topography reduce strong attachment. Mainly soft slime builds up and can be removed gently. Peak ~1.6%, average ~0.4%.​
