Tectyl 558-AMC is an amber colored, solvent cutback, slightly thixotropic wax base corrosion preventive compound with good water displacing properties. Tectyl 558-AMC is primarily intended for spray application such as enclosed boxes, seams, joints and other creviced locations of vehicles, susceptible to corrosion. Tectyl 558-AMC is recommended as a primer coat for 2-layer systems for several solvent based Tectyl products. Tectyl 558-AMC dries to a dark amber colored, translucent, waxy, semi-firm, slightly tacky film.
Benefits and application considerations
- Strong penetration With its strong penetration, Tectyl 558-AMC will protect the surface against corrosion, even in small seams and crevices.
- Economical With a DFT of only 50 microns, Tectyl 558-AMC can protect a large surface area with just a little amount of the product.
- Protection against corrosion Tectyl 558-AMC will protect against corrosion and will displace water where needed.
- Dual coating with Tectyl 120, Tectyl 120-EH, Tectyl 121-LV, Tectyl 122-A When applying Tectyl 120, Tectyl 120-EH, Tectyl 121-LV or Tectyl 122-A on top of Tectyl 558-AMC, the combination makes an underbody coating with excellent corrosion resistance.

Surface preparation
The maximum performance of Tectyl 558-AMC can be achieved only when the metal surfaces to be protected are clean, dry and free of rust, oil and mill scale. CorPro recommends that the metal substrate temperature is 10-35 °C at the time of product application.
Application
Tectyl 558-AMC is formulated to be used as supplied. Do not thin Tectyl 558-AMC. Due to its composition. Tectyl 558-AMC can be applied by low-pressure air spray. Details on application can be found in the application chart.
Tectyl 558-AMC is recommended as a primer coat for 2-layer systems and after a relatively short drying period Tectyl 558-AMC can be sprayed over.
Removal
Tectyl 558-AMC can in the wet phase be removed with Tectyl Biocleaner or Tectyl 150 or low- pressure steam. If dried and cured the film of Tectyl 558-AMC can be removed with Tectyl Biocleaner or Tectyl 150.
