Full details
This guide is for professionals and DIY enthusiasts looking to protect and enhance industrial or heavy-use floors. The FT Paints RT 2K Epoxy Floor Paint provides a durable, semi-gloss, self-levelling finish that offers excellent resistance to mechanical loads and chemicals. A potential caveat is that it's a 2K (two-part) system, requiring careful mixing and application within a specific pot life. Key features include its solvent-free formulation, high abrasion resistance, strong adhesion to concrete, and resistance to chemicals, oils, and heat.

FAQs
What surfaces can this epoxy be applied to?
This epoxy is specifically designed for concrete floors, including those in industrial settings, workshops, warehouses, and storage areas.
Is this product suitable for garage floors?
Yes, it is highly suitable for garage floors due to its resistance to mechanical loads, chemicals, and oils, providing a durable and attractive finish.
How long does it take for the paint to cure?
The floor is walkable in approximately 24 hours, and it fully cures within 7 days. However, full chemical resistance may take longer to develop.
Can I apply this paint myself?
Yes, with proper surface preparation and attention to the mixing and application instructions, it can be applied by DIY users. Using a sample size first is recommended.
What is the finish like?
The paint provides a semi-gloss, self-levelling finish that creates a smooth and durable surface.
Does it require a primer?
While the paint has excellent adhesion, using a compatible primer, such as Mipa primers, is recommended for optimal performance and longevity, especially on porous or challenging concrete.
Can I make the surface anti-slip?
Yes, you can incorporate quartz additives into the epoxy mixture during application to create an anti-slip finish, which is beneficial for safety in high-traffic areas.
Troubleshooting
Uneven finish or streaks
Ensure thorough mixing of both components. Apply the paint evenly, avoiding overworking or leaving puddles. Check that the application temperature is within the recommended range.
Poor adhesion to the substrate
Verify that the concrete surface was properly prepared (clean, dry, free of contaminants). Ensure a compatible primer was used if recommended. Moisture testing of the concrete may be necessary.
Coating is too thick or thin
Confirm that the correct mixing ratio of Part A and Part B was used. Ambient temperature can affect viscosity; adjust application speed accordingly.
Short pot life preventing full application
Ensure only the required amount is mixed for immediate use, as 2K epoxies have a limited working time once mixed. Avoid mixing in excessively large batches, especially in warm conditions.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Exceptional durability for high-traffic areas.
- Resistant to a wide range of chemicals and oils.
- Creates a professional, seamless, and attractive finish.
- Solvent-free formulation for improved safety.
- Fast return to service allows for quick project completion.
Cons
- Requires precise mixing of two components.
- Application requires adherence to pot life limitations.
- Proper surface preparation is critical for optimal adhesion.
- May not be suitable for very light domestic use due to its industrial strength.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the concrete substrate is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and old coatings. A proper primer, such as Mipa primers, is recommended for optimal adhesion. Mix Part A and Part B of the epoxy in the recommended ratio (refer to product data sheet for exact proportions) and stir thoroughly. Apply the mixed coating evenly using a roller, trowel, or notched trowel.
Compatibility: This product is compatible with Mipa primers and can be used with quartz additives to create anti-slip surfaces.
Care: Clean spills immediately. For general cleaning, use a mild detergent and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the coating. Regular sweeping or mopping will maintain the finish.
