Amerlock’s low solvent level meets VOC requirements, reduces
the chances for film pinholing and solvent entrapment at the
substrate-coating interface, often a major cause of coating
failure with conventional epoxies and lower solids systems.
Amerlock 400 is available in a variety of colors, including
aluminum, and therefore does not require a topcoat. For extended
weatherability or special uses, a topcoat may be desired.
Typical Uses
Amerlock 400 is used in those areas where blasting is impractical or
impossible. As a maintenance coating, Amerlock 400 protects steel
structures in industrial facilities, bridges, tank exteriors, marine
weathering, offshore, oil tanks, piping, roofs, water towers and other
exposures. Amerlock 400 has good chemical resistance to
splash/spillage, fumes and immersion in neutral, fresh and salt water
(see resistance table). Contact your PPG representative for specific
information.
Qualifications
