Promek AMC is the answer

Advanced protection, engineered in Australia

Proudly 100% Australian-owned and manufactured, backed by over 30 years of innovation in corrosion protection for the HVAC and heat exchange industry.

Superior Coating Technology

Water-based acrylic applied at just 12–16 microns, ASTM rated to 20,000 salt spray hours with high UV protection.

Eco-Friendly Protection

Very low VOC, single-part water-based acrylic. No harmful solvents for your team or the environment.

Empowering Contractors

We train your technicians to apply it themselves, removing the need for expensive third-party application services.

Built for Australia

Specifically designed to withstand Australia's demanding climate, from coastal salt air to extreme heat and UV.

55%

Up to 55% of a building's energy consumption comes from heat exchange.

Why coil condition matters

Protect the coil, protect the energy bill

Heat exchange units are critical for creating comfortable living environments. Two problems steadily erode their performance:

1
CorrosionCaused by environmental factors such as salt, sulphur and airborne pollutants.
2
FoulingBuild-up of contamination and biofilm that insulates the coil and restricts airflow.
Understanding corrosion

A silent yet destructive force

Corrosion is the deterioration of a metal due to its interaction with the environment. In HVAC+R coils it takes three main forms.

Type 01

Oxygen corrosion

Airborne pollutants combine with moisture and oxygen to create corrosive acids, leading to pitting of the coil surface.

Type 02

Galvanic corrosion

When dissimilar metals interact in the presence of an electrolyte, such as saltwater, the less noble metal corrodes.

Type 03

Bacterial corrosion

Microorganisms extract electrons from the metal, causing oxidation and breakdown of the surface.

The Promek AMC advantage

Promek AMC combats corrosion through a multi-faceted approach: extremely durable thin-film coatings proven over decades of use, low VOC, and a built-in antimicrobial additive. Cost effective and manufactured in Australia.

Benefits by application

Performance on both sides of the system

Condensers

Outdoor coils
  • Surfaces remain free from surface corrosion, retaining heat exchange capacity
  • Smooth finish resists build-up of dirt and oil from pollution
  • Remains dry and resists chemical attack from salt, sulphur and other environmental chemicals

Evaporators

Indoor coils
  • Sheds condensate water faster and reduces water retention, increasing heat exchange capacity
  • Super hydrophobic surface is self-cleaning
  • Free of biofilm and mould thanks to built-in antimicrobial activity

Efficiency maintained as designed

Corrosion and fouling steadily reduce heat exchange efficiency over a 12-month period. When Promek AMC is applied to an evaporator coil, heat exchange is maintained as designed.

Promek AMC repels condensate and improves the efficiency of any heat exchanger, extending equipment life on both new and existing installations, with a large improvement in the life of air-cooled condensers in coastal areas.
