PPG Sigma Amercoat 385

PPG Sigma have discontinued Amercoat 385, with Sigmacover 256 as a suitable alternative.

PPG Sigma Amercoat 385 is a two component, high build, polyamide epoxy with high solids content, for industrial and marine use.

Amercoat 385 adheres well to steel, aluminium, stainless steel, concrete and all previously coated surfaces, offering excellent durability and toughness when exposed to high wear conditions.

It can be used internally or externally to produce a high quality, decorative and protective surface layer, and when used externally it gives surfaces a coating which is highly resistant to chemicals and weathering.

Amercoat 385 can be used over all inorganic zinc primers and because it is self priming it can be applied to bare surfaces to offer economical, long-term protection.

Amercoat 385 is waterproof, making it suitable for immersion in water for long periods typical in the marine environment. It is commonly used on decks, hulls, superstructures and the ballast tanks of ships and barges. Amercoat 385 can also be applied to tank exteriors, structural steel pipes, refineries and in waste water treatment plants.

Amercoat 385 comes in four colours in a flat finish.

Price includes hardener.
