Promek AMC: The Ultimate Corrosion Shield for Your HVAC+R System
Corrosion protection for HVAC air-cooled condenser coils
Promek AMC is the answer. Our advanced corrosion protection solutions, proudly 100% Australian-owned and manufactured, safeguard your HVAC+R system from the relentless assault of corrosion. Backed by over 30 years of innovation, Promek AMC offers unparalleled protection and performance of condenser coils
Superior Coating Technology: Our water-based acrylic coatings, apply dry film at an ultra-thin 12-16 microns, providing exceptional protection without compromising heat transfer. Alternatives in Australia apply at over 25 microns which can reduce heat exchange. This thin film coating ensures optimal heat transfer, maximizing your system’s efficiency and keeping energy bills low. ASTM rated at 10,000 salt spray hours and very high UV protection rating. Promek AMC is an extreme specification coating approved by HVAC consultants Australia wide
Eco-Friendly Protection: Unlike competitors, Promek AMC uses a water-based acrylic very low VOC, single-part application. This eliminates harmful solvents and reduces your environmental footprint. Plus, we offer a clear coating option for a seamless aesthetic. Ticks all the green boxes
Empowering Contractors: Our coatings can be applied by your existing technicians after receiving simple training. This eliminates the need for expensive, third-party application services, saving you time and money, add value to your business. We also have a specialist team of applicators
Beyond corrosion protection, Promek AMC contributes to overall system efficiency. Our coatings are superhydrophobic, repelling water and preventing ice buildup on outdoor coils. This enhances heat transfer and reduces energy consumption.
Built for Australia: Promek AMC is specifically designed to withstand Australia’s demanding climate. Leading manufacturers like Armcor Air Solutions trust Promek to protect their coils and panels, ensuring exceptional performance even in extreme conditions.

Understanding Corrosion
Corrosion, the deterioration of a metal due to its interaction with the environment, is a silent yet destructive force. It can manifest in various forms. Major HVAC manufacturer’s condenser corrosion treatment is often inadequate and new coils can degrade after only a few years of service
Oxygen corrosion: While a natural oxide layer can protect metals like copper and aluminum, pollutants like sulfur and nitrogen oxides create corrosive acids, leading to pitting.
Galvanic corrosion: When dissimilar metals interact in the presence of an electrolyte, such as saltwater, a less noble metal corrodes. This is particularly damaging to aluminum microchannel heat exchangers.
Bacterial corrosion: Microorganisms extract electrons from metal, causing oxidation and releasing corrosive sulfur oxides.
The Promek AMC Advantage
Promek AMC combats corrosion through a multi-faceted approach of extremely durable thin film coatings proven over decades of use. Low VOC and antimicrobial additive. Cost effective and manufactured in Australia. OEMs and worldwide coil manufacturers use these coatings in very high volumes.
Heat exchange units are critical for the creation of comfortable living environments. It has been well documented that heat exchange makes up to 55% of buildings energy consumption. Inefficient poorly maintained heat exchange units can add thousands of dollars to a buildings monthly electricity bill. The two main issues affecting the efficiency of heat exchange units are:
- Corrosion caused by the environment such as salt and pollution
- Fouling of the heat exchange unit with contamination such as dirt and biofilm
The Promek AMC range of coatings deliver significant efficiencies to the condenser and evaporator heat exchange unit.
The results are nothing less than remarkable!
Condensers
- Surfaces remain free from surface corrosion retaining heat exchange capacity
- The coating is smooth and resists build up of dirt and oil from pollution
- The surface remains dry and resists chemical attack from salt, sulphur and other environmental chemicals
Evaporators
- Condensate water faster and reduce water retention increasing the heat exchange capacity and increasing airflow
- The super hydrophobic surface is self cleaning
- Surface remains free of biofilm and mould due to the built in anti microbial activity of the coating
Promek AMC is a water based epoxy resin that repels condensate and improves efficiency of any heat exchanger. The coating will extend the life of any heat exchanger either on new equipment or in the field and already corroded. A large improvement in the life of air cooled condensers in coastal areas is now possible. The super hydrophobic properties of the coating (repels water) mean less defrosts and reduced bio fouling of coils. In addition the use of a silver nano permanent anti-microbial additive means that this coating will dramatically reduce the build up of microbial contamination, one of the leading causes of poor indoor air quality. Promek AMC can be easily applied on site and is suitable for small systems right through to the largest industrial heat exchangers and is even suitable for micro channel coating.
Salt test results
The photographs show an uncoated coil and one coated with Promek AMC after 500 hours of an acid / salt test. (ASTM B117 Test). If your car was subjected to this test it would be destroyed in 50 hours. The results of this test clearly demonstrate the efficacy of the Promek AMC coating.
Promek AMC has been proven to make significant performance gains.
The graph shows the heat exchange efficiency lost over a 12 month period due to the issues identified above. When Promek AMC is applied to an evaporator coil the heat exchange is maintained as designed
