Product Information
Full details
The Ft Paints RT 2K PU Topcoat is a high-performance, gloss finish polyurethane acrylic coating designed for professionals working with commercial vehicles, machinery, and construction components that undergo significant wear. Its key benefit lies in its superior resistance to UV, weather, solvents, chemicals, and mechanical damage, ensuring a durable and professional appearance. A notable caveat is its food-safe certification, which is only applicable when combined with specific EP primers, not on its own.

FAQs
Is this paint safe for all food contact applications?
The paint itself is certified food-safe for dry, abrasive food contact *only* when applied over FT Paints' specific EP primers. It is not food-safe when applied directly to a substrate or over other primers.
How long does it take for the paint to be fully cured?
The paint achieves dust-dry status in 25-30 minutes at 20°C, but it requires 5-6 days to reach its full cure strength and hardness.
What surfaces can I apply this paint to?
This topcoat is suitable for metal, aluminum, and glass substrates. Ensure surfaces are properly prepared and clean before application.
Can I use this paint on surfaces that get hot?
Yes, the coating can resist short-term exposure to temperatures up to 180°C.
How do I clean the spray nozzle if it gets blocked?
After use, turn the can upside down and spray for a few seconds until clear propellant emerges. This helps prevent the nozzle from clogging.
What is the temperature range for optimal application?
The paint is designed to dry effectively at 20°C. While it can be applied in a wider range, performance and drying times may vary. Ensure good ventilation during application.
Troubleshooting
Uneven spray pattern or splattering
Ensure the can is shaken thoroughly and held at the correct distance (typically 15-25 cm) from the surface. Clear any blockage in the nozzle by turning the can upside down and spraying until clear propellant emerges.
Coating not drying properly
Check ambient temperature and humidity; drying times are based on 20°C. Ensure adequate ventilation. If applied too thickly, it may take longer to cure.
Poor adhesion to the surface
Verify the surface was properly cleaned and degreased before application. Ensure any previous coatings or contaminants were removed and the surface was prepared appropriately (e.g., light abrasion).
Runs or sags in the finish
This usually indicates the paint was applied too thickly or from too close a distance. Apply in thin, even coats and allow sufficient drying time between coats.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Exceptional durability and resistance to environmental and chemical factors.
- Professional gloss finish enhances the appearance of coated items.
- Fast drying time improves application efficiency.
- Food-safe certification offers an advantage for specific applications.
- High heat resistance makes it suitable for demanding environments.
Cons
- Food-safe certification is contingent on using specific EP primers.
- Requires proper application techniques for optimal results.
- Full cure takes several days, requiring patience before heavy use.
- Aerosol can format may not be ideal for very large surface areas.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This product is supplied as a 400ml aerosol can, ready for direct application. Ensure the surface to be coated is clean, dry, and free from grease, oil, and contaminants. For optimal adhesion, lightly abrade glossy surfaces. Shake the aerosol can vigorously for at least two minutes before use and periodically during application.
Compatibility:
The RT 2K PU Topcoat is suitable for application on metal, aluminum, and glass substrates. For food-safe applications, it must be applied over FT Paints' EP primers. The product is also compatible with electrostatic spraying methods for efficient, uniform application on complex shapes.
Care:
Clean the coated surface with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish. The coating achieves full hardness in 5-6 days; avoid heavy scrubbing or stress on the surface until this time.
