PPG Amershield VOC Topcoat Paint

Amershield VOC Topcoat Paint is formulated with unique design properties that separate it from its competitors and make it the premiere name in polyurethanes. Amershield’s greater film thickness not only protects steel and concrete surfaces better, it’s more cost effective than conventional alkyds or polyurethanes. With a 5-mil DFT, Amershield achieves more with a single coat than traditional alkyds do with three coats, saving significant labor costs. Its excellent flow-out characteristics yield a high-build, long-lasting, durable industrial finish. In tough accelerated weathering tests against three conventional coatings (a high-performance alkyd, a polyester urethane and an epoxy), Amershield significantly outperformed all three, retaining far more of its original gloss.

• High solids/low VOC – 73% solids and exceeds EPA VOC requirements significantly better than standard polyurethanes.
• High film build – Builds to more than twice the thickness of conventional polyurethanes in a single coat, saving significant labor costs.
• Long-lasting color and gloss – Amershield maintains its glossy finish, significantly outperforming competitors
• Durability – Amershield is designed for tough industrial applications and stands up to corrosion and abuse unlike many polyurethanes that are designed as decorative coatings.
• Versatile – Apply Amershield directly to steel, aluminum or masonry in a single coat.
