Product Information
Full details
The FabioT. RT 2K Polyurethane Texture Paint is designed for professionals seeking a durable, textured finish for industrial machinery, components, tools, and steel structures. Its key benefit is a robust, semi-gloss textured coating that effectively hides surface imperfections while providing excellent protection against impacts, UV, weather, and chemicals. A potential caveat is its 2K formulation requiring proper mixing and application, typically suited for spray equipment.

FAQs
What is the coverage rate of the 1.10 L kit?
Coverage varies based on application thickness and surface porosity. Consult the product's technical data sheet for specific coverage estimates.
Can this paint be applied with a brush?
While primarily designed for spray application, some users may achieve a textured finish with a brush, though consistency may be challenging. Spray application is recommended for best results.
How long does the paint take to dry?
Drying and curing times depend on temperature, humidity, and film thickness. Refer to the product's technical data sheet for specific drying and recoat times.
Is this paint suitable for high-temperature applications?
This product offers good resistance to chemicals and weather but is not specifically formulated for high-temperature service. For high-heat applications, consult FabioT. for specialized coatings.
What is the shelf life of the product?
Unmixed components typically have a shelf life of at least one year when stored in their original, sealed containers in a cool, dry place. Refer to the product packaging for exact expiry dates.
Can I apply this paint over existing rust?
No, surfaces must be free of rust and thoroughly prepared. Applying over rust will compromise adhesion and long-term performance. Use a rust converter or remover, followed by a suitable primer if necessary.
What is the typical pot life after mixing?
The pot life (working time) of a 2K mixture is limited. Once mixed, it should be used within a specific timeframe, usually 1-4 hours depending on ambient temperature. Consult the technical data sheet for precise pot life.
Troubleshooting
Paint not curing properly or remaining soft
Ensure the correct mix ratio of paint and hardener was used. Verify that the ambient temperature is within the recommended application range and that the surfaces were clean and dry before application.
Poor adhesion or peeling
Re-evaluate surface preparation. Ensure the substrate was thoroughly cleaned, degreased, and free from rust or existing coatings. Check if a compatible primer was used if required.
Uneven texture or spray pattern
Adjust spray gun settings (pressure, nozzle size) and application distance. Ensure the paint mixture is homogenous and not too thick or too thin. Check spray equipment for blockages.
Surface defects visible through the finish
The textured finish helps hide minor defects, but significant imperfections may require additional surface preparation or a primer layer before applying the topcoat.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Provides a durable, textured finish that hides surface imperfections.
- Offers excellent resistance to impacts, UV radiation, weather, and chemicals.
- High adhesion ensures a strong bond to metal substrates.
- Suitable for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications.
- Professional aesthetic enhances the look of machinery and structures.
Cons
- Requires a 2K mixing process, demanding precision and care.
- Typically applied with spray equipment, which may require specific setup and training.
- Ventilation and personal protective equipment are essential due to its chemical composition.
- May not be suitable for DIY applications without prior experience with 2K coatings.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Mixing: This is a 2K (two-component) product. Thoroughly mix the paint (0.76 L), hardener (0.19 L), and thinner (0.15 L) in the specified ratio. Ensure components are fully incorporated for optimal curing and performance.
- Application Equipment: Prepare your spray gun or airless equipment according to the manufacturer's instructions. Ensure the equipment is clean and free from contaminants.
- Surface Preparation: Surfaces must be clean, dry, and free from grease, oil, rust, and previous coatings. Abrasive blasting or mechanical cleaning is recommended for optimal adhesion.
Compatibility:
- Primarily designed for direct application to prepared ferrous and non-ferrous metal surfaces.
- Can be applied over compatible primers for enhanced performance or specific surface requirements.
- Not recommended for use on plastics or flexible substrates without appropriate pre-treatment or primer.
Care:
- Clean surfaces with mild detergents and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh solvents that could damage the coating.
- Regular inspection for any signs of damage or wear is recommended, with prompt touch-ups if necessary.
- Ensure adequate ventilation during application and curing. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, eye protection, and a respirator.
