The AMPARMOR® 2000 series is a uniquely engineered microcapsule containing a patented blend of healing agent based on epoxy functionalized polymers, co-crosslinking agents/enhancers and adhesion promoters. These microcapsules are designed for coating applications where coating self-healing is needed for extended coating durability. The AMPARMOR® 2000 series is recommended for use in solvent-based, water-based and powder coatings, and is compatible with most coating resin types including epoxy, polyester, polyurethane and acrylic systems.

- Performance
Coating performance enhancements obtained through the use of the AMPARMOR® 2000 series self-healing additive will be dependent on both product add rate and base coating native performance. In an optimized coating formulation, addition of as little as 2.5 wt.% can result in dramatic improvements in both corrosion resistance (on metal substrates) and weather or mechanically induced coating adhesion loss (on metal and wood substrates). Maximum performance is usually obtained at an add rate of 7.5 wt.%.
