Previous iterations in the "Coat" lineage have historically focused on either extreme compression or basic water repellency. However, the represents a paradigm shift. It suggests a level of refinement—a 15th iteration, perhaps, or a proprietary blend—that moves beyond the basics into the realm of high-speed physics.
| Parameter | Uncoated surface | Coat Number 15 | Improvement | |-----------|------------------|----------------|--------------| | Drag coefficient (Cd) @ 30 knots | 0.0038 | 0.0021 | | | Surface energy (mN/m) | 72 (water) | 18 | Superhydrophobic | | Critical cavitation delay | baseline | +12% | Higher speed before cavitation | | Microbial adhesion (30 days) | high | near-zero | Slippery, non-toxic | New- COAT NUMBER 15 - High Speed Swimmer
The product is currently rolling out via elite swim shops and direct-to-consumer via the manufacturer’s website. Due to the complex nano-manufacturing process, early batches are limited. Look for the distinctive bottle with the hydrodynamic "Vortex" logo. Previous iterations in the "Coat" lineage have historically
