Caparol Amphibolin Universal Paint - White

Caparol Amphibolin Universal Paint is an all-in-one solution designed for exceptional versatility and durability. Suitable for almost any substrate, from concrete walls and wooden doors to metal handrails and even smooth, low-absorbent surfaces like plastic, it works as both primer and topcoat, eliminating the need for additional products.

Formulated with a high-end binder system, Amphibolin ensures superior adhesion and a strong bond between pigments and fillers. The result is surfaces that are highly resistant to UV radiation, scratches, scrubbing, aggressive pollutants, and disinfectants. Its weather-resistant, water-repellent properties make it ideal outdoors, while indoors it offers bright, abrasion-resistant finishes that withstand heavy traffic and frequent cleaning. Amphibolin even helps combat mould, making it a reliable choice for residential, commercial, and industrial spaces alike.

• UV, scratch, and scrub resistant for long-lasting durability
• Weather-resistant & water-repellent for exterior protection

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:

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.
