AMP-UPTM 100 can be used for interior or exterior applications, with or without a top-coat. For best performance a compatible AMI coating, such as AMP-UP™ ACRYLIC, AMP-UP™ URETHANE or AMP-UP™ PROSHIELD, is recommended. Without a topcoat, AMP-UPTM 100 may fade and discolor with age. These changes in color will not adversely affect coating integrity and performance.
- Features
- Low VOC (< 50 g/L)
- Patented self-healing technology
- Maintains adhesion after damage
- Extended coating life
- One-component epoxy hybrid coating
Applications & Uses
- Applications
- Compatible Topcoats
This primer is compatible with a wide range of topcoats. Excellent performance will be obtained when top-coated with any of the AMP-UP™ ACRYLIC, AMP-UP™ PROSHIELD or AMP-UP™ URETHANE products.
- Product Applications
Surface preparation all surfaces: Remove dirt, dust, oil, salt, and any other chemical contaminants by washing the surface with a cleaner/degreaser and water. Mold and mildew areas must be cleaned with a chlorinated cleaner or bleach solution. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water and allow to fully dry. All surfaces must be dry at time of application. STEEL: Remove loose rust, mill scale and coatings in accordance with hand tool (SSPC-SP-2) or power tool (SSPC-SP-3) cleaning. For optimum corrosion performance, abrasive blast to SSPC-SP-6 Commercial Grade is recommended.
Aluminum: Remove all oil, grease, dirt, oxide and other foreign material by cleaning per SSPC-SP1, Solvent Cleaning. If needed, roughen the surface of the aluminum in accordance with SSPC-SP-16 and solvent wipe immediately before coating application.
Previously Coated: Previously coated surfaces must be in good condition. Smooth, hard or glossy finishes should be sanded to create a surface profile. To ensure product compatibility, application on a test patch is recommended.
Galvanized Metal: Roughen the surface and remove loose debris or corrosion products using a wire brush or power tool. Remove all organic contaminants with a mild alkaline or a mild acidic solution. If necessary, rinse the surface using clean water and allow it to dry before coating application.
Concrete and Masonry: Remove weak or deteriorated concrete and masonry to obtain sound surface. Remove dirt, dust and other contamination from the surface by air blowing, brushing, scrubbing or other acceptable method. Avoid leaving cleaner residues on the surface of the concrete if used.
- Equipment Recommendations
Brush: Use a good quality synthetic bristle brush.
Roller: Use a good quality synthetic nap roller cover.

Thinning Brush/roller: Thinning is normally not required. When necessary, thin with clean water.Air Atomized Spray: Water as needed for desired application viscosity (up to 1 pint per gallon).
Airless Spray: Water as needed for desired application viscosity up to 1 pint per gallon.
Clean-up Brush/roller: Use soap and water immediately after use.
Clean-up Spray: Immediately flush spray lines with water, followed by approved cleaner/degreaser.
