Caparol Amphibolin Colour

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

• Strong adhesion on many surfaces
• High light index
• Resistant to disinfectants
• Emission-minimized and solvent-free
• Driving rain-proof, water-repellent

Material Base / Vehicle

100% pure acrylate synthetic dispersion according to DIN 55945 with wet adhesion promoter to achieve optimal adhesive strength.

Packaging/Package Size

Amphibolin: 2.5 l, 5 l, 12.5 l. Airfix: 25 l Hobbock

Colours

White.

Amphibolin can be tinted with "CaparolColor" or "AmphiColor tinting colors" yourself.

• 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:

Note

As shown in our laboratory test on glass plates, the embedded "wet adhesion promoter" prevents the binder from swelling even under extreme wet conditions and thus permanently protects the paint from blistering and peeling.
