AMPP C3 CERTIFICATION PAPER 2026
FULL SOLUTION GRADED A+
● alkyd. Answer: oil based coatings
convertible: oxidation
toxic VOC & HAPs
multi coat system
saponification over galvanized metal
● epoxy. Answer: most used, composed of epoxy resin (part A) and
curing agent hardener (part B)
convertible: Co-reaction
Toxic VOC & HAP's
multi coat system
wrong ratio prevents curing
● fluoropolymer. Answer: ultra durable topcoats, long term iv
protection
convertible: co-reaction
toxic VOC and HAP's
multi coat system
ensure proper DFT of clear coat, correct size roller (1/4 inch)
, ● inorganic zinc-rich. Answer: is the most specified primer, offer the
best cathodic protection
single coating system
convertible: hydrolysis
mud cracking can occur if too thick, ensure RH over 40%
● organic zinc-rich. Answer: protects the metal surface sacrificially,
easy to apply
convertible: co-Reaction
single coat coating system
● polyaspartic. Answer: achieves low or near zero VOC systems,
replace high VOC polyurethane finish coats
convertible: Co-reaction
single coat system
isocyanates present
● polyester. Answer: high build coatings used in petroleum storage tank
linings
convertible: co-reaction
multi coat system
very short pot and shelf life
