Ameron has been an innovator.

In 1947, Ameron discovered the potential of inorganic zinc coatings and pioneered the first sprayable inorganic zinc primer (Dimetcote) for field application. Ameron went on to develop the first sprayable vinyl protective coating (Amercoat).

Then in the late 1970s came the Amerlock Series-surface-tolerant epoxy maintenance products available in a range of colors. These eliminated the need for abrasive blasting in many maintenance situations.

Following this, Amershield was developed in 1986. This is a high-build, high gloss, high solid polyurethane that combines impact and abrasion resistance with flexibility and color retention.
In 1978 Ameron obtained a patent that is the basis for all inorganic polysiloxane compositions (PSX) having high temperature and corrosion resistance. A 1981 patent dealt with the preparation of epoxy-polysiloxane hybrid system that enhanced the chemical, corrosion and weather resistance of the base epoxy. In 1993 a patent was issued for Ameron covering the processes for curing various siloxane, silicone and carbinol pre-polymers at low and room temperatures. Other patents have since been issued on the other PSX innovations.
