Amershield Performance Polyurethane

San Diego's Petco Park sports an Amershield polyurethane coating (polyurethane paint) over Amercoat 68HS zinc rich primer which provides excellent corrosion resistance for the structural steel that is only a few hundred yards from San Diego Harbor.

Amershield is a high-gloss, high-build, abrasion and chemical resistant topcoat that can be applied over steel and concrete substrates. Amershield is an aliphatic polyurethane with a unique acrylic and polyester blend that provides superior performance in abusive environments when compared to other aliphatic polyurethanes.

Ameron Performance Coating's Amershield is available in two VOC compliant formulas that cover all of California's air quality requirements, standard Amershield can be applied in areas with a regulatory VOC of 270 grams per liter and greater while Amershield VOC can be applied in areas with a regulatory restrictions of less than 100 grams per liter (California Architectural Rule/SCAQMD Rule 1113 Industrial Maintenance Coatings).

Amershield VOC Less than 100 grams per liter VOC Product Data Sheet & Application Instructions

Amershield aliphatic polyurethane coating (polyurethane paint) and Amershield VOC aliphatic polyurethane coating (polyurethane paint) can be thinned with one of several thinners. The most common thinner is Amercoat 65 for use in Amershield but for better flow out and an improved finish we recommend Amercoat 923 or Amercoat 911 thinner.

Amercoat 911 Thinner

Amershield and Amershield VOC can also be thinned with Amercoat 911 thinner for OEM customers that are meeting HAPS requirements. These customers usually thin no more than 16 ounces per gallon. Please see the Amershield or Amershield VOC data sheet.

Amercoat 923 Thinner

If you are seeking the best gloss and flow out from Amershield and Amershield VOC, Amercoat 923 is an outstanding thinner. We cannot supply Amercoat 923 parts of Texas due to air quality requirements. Many of our customers apply Amershield with up to 16 ounces of Amercoat 923. Please see the Amershield or Amershield VOC data sheet.
