AMERSHIELD®

Product catalog summary

Features & Benefits
Amershield is a high-performance polyurethane coating known for its unique properties that set it apart from competitors. Key features include high solids with low VOC content, exceeding EPA requirements, and a high film build that allows for significant labor cost savings. It maintains long-lasting color and gloss, offering superior durability for industrial applications. Amershield can be applied directly to steel, aluminum, or masonry in a single coat.

Long-lasting Gloss & Color
Amershield combines high-volume solids with a high-gloss finish, providing a durable industrial coating. It outperforms conventional coatings in accelerated weathering tests, retaining more of its original gloss.

High Build Equals Cost Savings
The greater film thickness of Amershield not only enhances protection for steel and concrete surfaces but also proves more cost-effective than traditional coatings, achieving more with a single coat.

Flexible & Impact Resistant
Amershield withstands deformation and impact significantly better than conventional polyurethanes, making it ideal for flooring and materials handling applications. It offers superior performance in both direct and reverse impact tests.

Versatile & Easy to Apply
Amershield can be applied directly to metal in a single coat using spray, brush, or roll methods. It is suitable for use over anti-corrosive primers for maximum durability and can refresh old paint. Available in various colors, it can also serve as a graffiti-resistant coating when combined with Duraprep® 400.

Combine with AMERLOCK® Series for Superior Coating System
Using Amershield as a topcoat over Amerlock products creates a robust system that is easy to apply and offers excellent chemical, abrasion, and stain resistance, complying with international standards.

Outstanding Abrasion Resistance
Amershield excels in abrasion resistance, outperforming conventional polyurethanes in tests. Its high-build film provides superior protection, comparable only to more expensive elastomeric polyurethane claddings.

Corrosion Resistant
Amershield offers enhanced barrier properties and corrosion resistance, making it suitable for industrial use. It resists chemical splashes and environmental conditions that typically cause other coatings to fail.
