Caparol Amphibolin Universal Paint - Tinted Colour Match

Caparol Amphibolin is an all-rounder water-based paint for both interior and exterior applications. Designed for exceptional versatility and durability, it is also solvent-free and emission-minimised. Developed with a built-in primer, it delivers outstanding adhesion on almost any substrates including plaster, concrete, brickwork, fibre cement, galvanised surfaces, wood and even smooth, low-absorbent surfaces like plastic.

Its weather-resistant, water-repellent finish protects outdoor surfaces from pollutants and intense weather, while indoors it provides a scratch & scrub resistant, durable finish with excellent light reflection, that withstands heavy traffic and frequent cleaning. Amphibolin even helps combat mould, making it a reliable choice for residential, commercial, and industrial spaces alike.

Exterior Surfaces

• New mineral plasters/renders: Wait at least 2 weeks (approx. 20 °C / 65% humidity) before painting. Use a key coat of CapaGrund Universal to reduce lime efflorescence (paintable after 7 days).
• Old mineral plasters/renders: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and stable. Prime with:
• OptiSilan TiefGrund or CapaSol RapidGrund for porous surfaces
• Dupa plaster strengthener for powdery or sanding areas
• Concrete: Remove dirt or flaking layers. Prime smooth surfaces with Amphibolin diluted max 5% with water; highly absorbent surfaces with OptiSilan TiefGrund or CapaSol RapidGrund.
• Fiber cement & cement-bonded boards: Follow BFS guidelines. Apply key coat to all sides. Use Disbon 481 EP-Uniprimer on new, strongly alkaline boards.
• Metal & PVC: Clean thoroughly. Prime galvanized surfaces, rigid PVC, and coil coatings with Amphibolin diluted max 5% with water.
• Exposed brickwork: Ensure frost-resistant, clean, and dry. Prime with Amphibolin diluted max 5%.
• Fungal/algae contamination: Remove deposits, wash with Capatox, prime absorbent surfaces with FungiGrund, then apply Amphibolin-W.
• Cracks or defects: Repair with suitable fillers, then prime the repaired areas.

Interior Surfaces

• Mineral plasters: Prime porous or sandy plasters with OptiSilan TiefGrund or CapaSol RapidGrund. Solid plasters can be coated directly.
• Gypsum/plasterboards: Sand, remove dust, and prime absorbent or water-sensitive panels with Dupa plaster strengthener or Caparol AquaSperrgrund.
• Concrete & aerated concrete: Remove residues and dust. Prime aerated concrete with Capaplex diluted 1:3.
• Old coatings: Remove unstable paints or clean chalking surfaces. Prime with Dupa plaster strengthener.
• Wallpapers: Non-stick wallpaper must be removed; prime any absorbent surfaces with Dupa plaster strengthener.
• Mold, nicotine, or grease stains: Clean thoroughly, dry, then prime with FungiGrund (mold) or Caparol AquaSperrgrund (stains).
• Wood & wood-based materials: Prime with Amphibolin undiluted. For discoloring wood, use Capacryl Holz-IsoGrund first.

Small Imperfections

• Fill minor defects with Akkordspachtel, allow to dry, then re-prime before finishing.

Methods of Application

Brush or roller: Suitable for all Amphibolin and Amphibolin-W applications.

Spray (Airless) – Amphibolin only:

• Spray angle: 50°
• Nozzle: 0.017–0.021"
• Injection pressure: 150–180 bar

Coating System

Key coat / Intermediate coat: Apply Amphibolin/Amphibolin-W undiluted or diluted up to 5% with water.

Finishing coat: Apply undiluted or diluted up to 5% with water. On rough surfaces, dilute the first/intermediate and finishing coats 5% and spread thoroughly.

Consumption / Coverage

Approx. 120 ml/m² per coat on smooth surfaces. Rough surfaces require higher consumption; a test coat is recommended to determine exact usage.

To avoid paint deposits, coat wet-on-wet in one go. Do not use on horizontal surfaces exposed to water.

Note: If using more than one can of the same colour, intermix prior to use to ensure colour consistency. Check tinted product prior to application to avoid colour differences.

Always keep the container upright during storage and transport to prevent spills. Keep in a cool, dry and frost-free place.
