The universal paints, based on pure acrylate, are for a wide range of uses around the house and offer exceptional adhesion. Suitable for both interior and exterior applications. 

Where to Use

Versatile, emission-minimised, 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 coloured coatings.

Universal paint for outside, on mineral plasters from class CS II, concrete, exposed brickwork, fibre cement panels, stable old paintwork, galvanised 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.

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

✱Amphibolin-W is equipped with a preservative, therefore protecting against infestation and damage by fungi and algae. Therefore, it cannot be used indoors.

Material Properties

• Strong adhesion on many surfaces
• High light index
• Resistant to disinfectants
• Emission-minimised 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.

Colours

White.

Amphibolin/ Amphibolin-W can be tinted with CaparolColor or AmphiColor tinting colours yourself.

• When using on non-absorbent substrates such as hard PVC or galvanised 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 colours can be tinted via ColorExpress.
• For purchases of >100 litres in one colour and order, factory tinting is available.
• To identify possible tinting errors, please check colour shade accuracy before processing. In the event of abnormalities or deviations from the delivery target (e.g., colour 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 colour tones may have a lower hiding power. Therefore, it is advisable to apply a comparable, opaque, white-based pastel colour tone in advance for these colours. A second finishing coat may be necessary.

Colour resistance according to German BFS✱-Merkblatt (Data Sheet) No. 26:

Technical Data

Characteristic data according to EN 13 300:

Due to tinting, deviations in the technical characteristics are possible.

• Wet scrub resistance: Class 1, corresponds to scrubbing-resistant according to DIN 53778

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, permanently protecting the paint from blistering and peeling.
