Amphibolin

Universal acrylic paints for versatile exterior and interior use.


Field of Application

Versatile, emission-minimized and solvent-free facade and interior* paint with exceptionally good adhesion to almost any surface. The special composition reduces the writing effect / stress whitening in colored coatings.

Universal paint for outside, on mineral plasters from class CS II, concrete, exposed brickwork, fiber cement panels, stable old paintwork, galvanized surfaces, hard PVC, wood (not true to size). Not suitable for ETICS.

For outdoor use for weather-resistant coatings on smooth and finely structured surfaces with a high level of protection against aggressive air pollutants.

In the interior for highly durable, abrasion-resistant, structure-retaining coatings, especially also for coatings with a high degree of loading on Capaver glass fabric wall coverings as well as due to the high light reflection in weakly lit corridors, stairwells, storage rooms, factory halls and underground garages.

Material Properties

  • Emission-minimised, solvent-free, unplasticized
  • Free of fogging-active substances
  • Water-dilutable, ecologically compatible, low odour
  • Weather-resistant
  • Opacity (hiding/covering power) Class 2, with a spreading rate of 8 m2/litre or 120 ml/m2
  • Driving rain resistant, water-repellent according to German standard DIN 4108
  • High adhesive strength
  • Non-yellowing
  • Alkali-resistant, hence unsaponifiable
  • Thin film coating, texture-retaining
  • Highly cleanable and resistant to aqueous disinfectants and household detergents
  • Easy to apply
  • Contains special pigments with photocatalytic effect
  • Wet scrub resistance Class 1 according to DIN EN 13300; < 5 µm at 200 strokes, corresponds to "scrub resistant" according to German standard DIN 53778

Material Base / Vehicle

100 % pure acrylate. Synthetic dispersion/emulsion according to German standard DIN 55945, containing wet adhesion promoter to achieve optimum adhesive strength.

Packaging/Package Size

  • Amphibolin: 2.5 l, 5 l, 12.5 l. Airfix: 25 l Hobbock
  • ColorExpress: 1.25 l, 2.5 l, 5 l, 7.5 l, 12.5 l

Colors

White

  • When using on non-absorbent substrates such as hard PVC or galvanized surfaces, add a maximum of 10% "AmphiColor" or "CaparolColor".
  •  In the case of self-tinting, mix the required total amount with one another in order to avoid color differences.
  • Other colors can be tinted via "ColorExpress".
  • For purchases of >100 liters in one color and order, tinting is available from the factory.
  • In order to identify possible tinting errors, please check the color shade accuracy before processing. In the event of abnormalities or deviations from the delivery target (e.g. color deviations) or the customary nature of the condition, please also observe the guidelines for inspection obligations for the delivery of tinted goods from the German association "Verband für Dämmsysteme, Putz und Mörtel e.V.": brochures and leaflets - VDPM.
  • Brilliant, intense color tones may have a lower hiding power. It is therefore advisable to apply a comparable, opaque, white-based, pastel color tone in advance for these colors. A second finishing coat may be necessary.
Color resistance according to German BFS*-Merkblatt (Data Sheet) No. 26:

Class: A (binder)
Group: 1–3, depending on the color (pigmentation)

Gloss Level

silk matt, class: G2 according to EN 1062

Storage

Keep in a cool, but frost-free place.

Technical Data

Characteristics according to DIN EN 1062:Tinting may cause variations

  • Maximum particle (grit) size: 100 µm, S1
  • Density: Approx. 1.4 g/cm³
  • Dry film thickness: 50 - 100 µm, E2
  • Diffusion-equivalent air layer thickness sdCO2: > 50 m, C1
  • Water permeability (w-value): ≤ 0.1 [kg/(m2 · h0.5)] (low),
  • W3 Water vapour permeability (sd-value): ≥ 0.14 m to ≤ 1.4 (medium), V2

Note

The "wet adhesion promoter", embedded in Amphibolin as demonstrated in our laboratory test on glass plates, prevents the swelling up of binding agent in extremely moist conditions, so that the coatings are permanently prevented from blistering and flaking.
