Amerlock 2 and Amerlock 400 are high-performance, two-component, high-solids epoxy coatings manufactured by PPG Protective & Marine Coatings. They are designed for industrial and marine environments and offer excellent corrosion resistance, durability, and adhesion to a variety of surfaces. While they share many similarities, they have distinct characteristics that make them suitable for specific applications. 

The 2-gallon kits include a 1-gallon Amerlock 2/400 base and either 1-gallon Amerlock 2 or 1-gallon Amerlock 400, depending on the desired product. 

Amerlock 2

Amerlock 2 is a fast-drying, surface-tolerant, high-solids epoxy coating with a low VOC (volatile organic compound) content. It cures quickly, even at low temperatures (down to -10°C/14°F). It is known for its superior chemical resistance and ability to adhere to damp or marginally prepared surfaces, including those with tightly adhering rust.

Coverage rate: 

Key Features:

  • Fast dry time (dry to touch in as little as 3 hours at 20°C/68°F, recoatable in 6 hours).
  • High solids content (approximately 85%).
  • Can be applied over damp surfaces or adherent rust.
  • Temperature resistance up to 450°F (232°C) for non-immersion service when properly prepared.
Common Applications:
  • Steel structures in industrial facilities (e.g., factories, warehouses).
  • Marine applications (e.g., offshore platforms, ships, docks).
  • Water and wastewater treatment plants.
  • Power generation facilities.
  • Public infrastructure (e.g., bridges, steel fabrication).

Amerlock 400

Description: Amerlock 400 is a versatile, high-solids epoxy coating (approximately 83% solids) that serves as a self-priming topcoat over most existing coatings. It cures through a wide temperature range and offers excellent chemical resistance to splash, spillage, fumes, and immersion in neutral, fresh, or saltwater. It has a longer pot life compared to Amerlock 2, making it suitable for larger projects.

Key Features:

  • Self-priming and compatible with most tightly adhering coatings.
  • Available in a variety of colors (including aluminum).
  • Low solvent content reduces pinholing and solvent entrapment.
  • Can be applied in areas where blasting is impractical.

Where It’s Used: Amerlock 400 is widely used in general maintenance applications across tough industrial, marine, and offshore environments where durability and chemical resistance are critical.

Common Applications:

  • Tank exteriors and interiors (e.g., oil tanks, water towers).
  • Piping and structural steel in industrial plants.
  • Marine weathering protection (e.g., offshore oil rigs).
  • Bridges and roofs.
  • Concrete and metal floors in facilities exposed to chemical spills or weathering.
