“I have been a boat builder for 30 years and have worked with epoxy all my work life.
What a difference now with the new Ampro system: no sticky surfaces, the sandpaper can be used many times longer than before and the long recoat period makes the work relaxed and with very good results. Also the final coating with the CLR hardener delivered a super gloss level on the checkerboard carbon!
A really big step forward – my new favorite is Ampro!”

Gurit’s AmproTM is the first choice for professionals for bonding, laminating, coating and filling! It is very easy to use, has very low toxicity and is also solvent-free.
This is a multi-purpose epoxy system of the latest generation from Gurit. It is an easy-to-use system that can be used for bonding, coating, laminating and filling.
Coating – Bonding – Filling – Laminating
This multi-purpose epoxy is an easy-to-use system with a wide range of applications, which has the following properties:
AMPRO™ was developed using the same approach as the award-winning Ampreg™ 3X Series, which focuses on user health and safety through careful selection of base chemicals.
The new low toxicity resin matrix is CMR and SVHC free. Gurit carefully selects the chemicals used to ensure the lowest possible risk of future reclassification – ensuring the safety of our products and the health and safety of end users. This approach is part of Gurit’s philosophy.
Our manufacturer Gurit is trying to avoid the dependence on petroleum-based chemicals by using alternative raw materials with sustainable plant-based origins. These sources are by-products of the food chain and are converted to epoxy chemicals and used to formulate AMPRO™ BIO. Gurit’s unique bio-based technology delivers excellent performance and is currently the only “OK bio-based” system certified by TÜV:
This is the improved successor to SP106, which has proven itself for many years. It is a multi-purpose epoxy system for gluing, coating and filling and is particularly suitable for the production of wood-epoxy composite components. For highly transparent coatings the hardener Ampro CLR is recommended.
This multi-purpose epoxy system is made with over 40% organic content from pressed coconut shell oil, making it extremely sustainable. Together with flat fibers and Kerdyn PET foam made from recycled bottles, this is a sustainable alternative. The hardeners are the same as for the Ampro system.
This is the improved successor to SP320 and SP115, which have proven themselves for many years. It is an extremely clear multi-purpose epoxy system with improved UV properties and is particularly suitable for coating natural wood and building surfboards. The resin base is Ampro resin, the hardener is specially formulated.
This is the sealer based on Ampro hardeners and the improved successor of the solvent-based Eposeal 300. As it is solvent-free, it has an extremely short recoat interval and is therefore considerably faster to apply. The resin base is specially formulated, the hardeners correspond to the AmproTM CLR or standard hardeners.
The product consists of exchangeable resins, mixable hardeners and additives for many applications. The following table takes you step-by-step through the options for choosing the right AMPRO™ system.
