Sea-Slide is a cutting-edge hydrophilic coating designed to enhance the boat’s performance by reducing friction between the hull, and water surface.
History
How It Works
Sea-Slide coating absorbs water but is not dissolved by water and uses a unique bonded inter-polymer complex to bind water to the hull.
The coating is a water-based polymeric composite material inter-polymer dispersion, which cures while drying to a durable, hydrophilic coating. It produces a surface with 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.

Sea-Slide® Quick Application Guide:
- Prep Surface: Ensure a clean, dry, and residue-free surface.
- Choose Tool: Apply with a paintbrush, roller, or spray gun.
- Application: Coat surface evenly, covering thoroughly.
- Dry Time: Allow 3-4 hours at temperatures above 50°F.
- Underwater Magic: Upon submersion, Sea-Slide appears milky and becomes highly slippery as it swells.
- Optimal Performance: Best results when fully dry and submerged, reducing turbulence near the hull.
Look What Others Saying About Our Products
The first year we used this product in our race to Hawaii we beat the second place boat by @ 17%... strangely this is the amount that the hull water sheer friction is reduced by your product. Every time we have the bottom cleaned the divers are astonished how slippery this product is. We do not sail our seasons without using your product any more. For the cost, the speed potential, particularly in longer distances, similar results cannot be achieved with any other product. For the money Sea Slide is simply the best.
I have used Sea Slide over the past 8 years on my ocean racing yacht. I believe in our longer races (2,250 miles) your product makes a difference. At one time Sea Slide was handled by West Marine Distributors. I bought up all the available inventory in SF, Richmond, Portland and Hawaii. With my racing season coming up, I was looking for a source to purchase another gallon for my race to Hawaii.
Sea-Slide has made a remarkable difference in my boating experience. During trips from Staten Island to Montauk harbor, I noticed a 12,5% reduction in travel time and a 12% decrease in fuel consumption. These results demonstrate the product's effectiveness, and I look forward to its long-term performance.
Sea-slide coating is a typical coating that reduces friction between hull and water and can be used over moat anti-fouling paints. This is a unique coating with excellent drag reduction and can be used on personal watercraft to improve speed and handling: on boats to improve speed and fuel consumption; or any other craft where reducing the drag through the water is important.
Sea-slide has proven to be a game-changer in drag reduction for boat hulls. Our tests revealed a significant decrease in drag, ranging from 9% to 16% compared to the hulls with only anti-fouling paint. This clear improvement underscores Sea-Slide's effectiveness in enhancing hull performance.
Sea-slide, originally developed for medical devices, now boosts boat performance by reducing drag. With impressive results showing up to 17% drag reduction, users report improved efficiency and speed. Easy to apply and compatible with various surfaces, Sea-slide offers a cost-effective solution for smoother sailing experiences.
