FAQs
What is the shelf life of the mixed product?
Once mixed, the pot life of the 2K polyurethane is limited, typically 2-4 hours depending on temperature. It is best to mix only what can be used within this timeframe.
Can this paint be applied over existing paint?
Yes, provided the existing paint is sound, well-adhered, and properly cleaned and abraded. Test compatibility on a small area first.
What are the recommended application temperatures?
Generally, apply between 10°C and 30°C. Avoid application in direct sunlight, extreme heat, or freezing conditions. Refer to the product's technical data sheet for specific ranges.
How do I clean application equipment?
Clean spray guns, brushes, and other equipment immediately after use with the recommended thinner or a suitable solvent.
What is the coverage rate?
Coverage varies with application thickness, but typically a high-build coating like this provides good coverage. Refer to the technical data sheet for precise figures.
Does the kit include everything needed for application?
The 20.0L kit includes the paint, hardener, and thinner. However, you will need appropriate application tools (brushes, spray equipment) and safety gear (gloves, mask, eye protection).
How resistant is it to chemicals?
The coating offers outstanding resistance to solvents and various chemicals, making it suitable for demanding industrial and automotive environments.
Troubleshooting
Paint not drying properly
Ensure correct mixing ratios of paint, hardener, and thinner. Verify ambient temperature and humidity are within recommended application ranges. Check for inadequate ventilation.
Poor adhesion or peeling
Verify that the surface was thoroughly cleaned and degreased before application. Ensure all old paint or rust was removed and the surface was properly primed if necessary. Check for compatibility with any previous coatings.
Uneven finish or brush marks
Use the correct application method for the desired finish. If brushing, use a high-quality brush and maintain consistent strokes. For spraying, ensure correct nozzle size, pressure, and technique. Thinning may be required for spray applications.
Sagging or runs in the coating
Avoid applying excessively thick coats. Reduce application rate or recoat intervals. Ensure the product is thinned appropriately for the application method and temperature.
