Jetfoil
Target Item
Water jet pump stator housing
Coating period
From 2000- Annual coating maintenance
Scope of work
Protection against seawater corrosion, erosion, and cavitation, besides recovery the performance of Waterjet pumps through coating repair of the dome, guide vanes, and wet area.
Jetfoils include as part of their maintenance program the coating of their Waterjet pumps.

Merits of this application
■ Conventionally, after prolonged use, the WJP is replaced with a new one due to damage progress.
■ When the Jetfoil cruises at 43knots FOILBORNE speed, the gas turbine fuel (gas oil) consumption rate is approximately 2,150 l/h, after the Fluiglide the application, the savings run between 5 to 7% of fuel consumption this represents up to 150 lt/h in savings.

Corrocoat Japan credentials etc
■ As a result, repair costs and fuel consumption can be reduced by using a fluiglide coating.
■ Repair costs are quickly recovered from savings in fuel consumption.
■ Due to the excellent results Corrocoat products have shown in protecting against erosion and reducing fuel consumption of Waterjet pumps, 7 companies have incorporated the fluiglide coating system as part of their preventive maintenance services.
