FAQs
What is the coverage rate of the RT 2K Epoxy Floor Paint?
Coverage varies by application method and substrate porosity. Refer to the product's technical data sheet for specific coverage rates for different kit sizes and application thicknesses.
Can I apply this paint to existing painted floors?
Only if the existing paint is sound, well-adhered, and has been properly degreased and abraded. It's best to test adhesion in a small area or consult the manufacturer's guidelines for specific substrate compatibility.
How long does the mixed paint last before it hardens (pot life)?
The pot life is typically short, often around 30-45 minutes at 20°C. Always refer to the product's technical data sheet for the exact pot life, as it can be affected by temperature.
Is this paint suitable for outdoor use?
While it offers excellent chemical and abrasion resistance, its suitability for outdoor use depends on UV exposure and temperature fluctuations. Consult the manufacturer for specific outdoor application recommendations.
What is the best way to clean the painted floor?
Clean using a soft brush or mop with water and a mild, pH-neutral detergent. Avoid using harsh solvents or abrasive cleaning tools, which can damage the finish.
Can I add colorants to this epoxy paint?
This product is available in various colors. For custom colors, consult the manufacturer about compatible pigment systems or tinting services.
What safety precautions should I take during application?
Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, eye protection, and respiratory protection if ventilation is poor. Ensure the application area is well-ventilated.
Troubleshooting
Paint is not self-levelling properly
Ensure the product is mixed thoroughly and applied at the correct temperature. Uneven application thickness or substrate imperfections can also affect self-levelling.
Poor adhesion to the substrate
Verify that the concrete surface was properly prepared and free from contaminants. Ensure no moisture is present and that the correct primer was used if necessary.
Surface remains tacky after application
This can be due to incorrect mixing ratios, insufficient mixing, low ambient temperature, or high humidity during application and curing. Ensure proper conditions and mixing procedures are followed.
Bubbles or pinholes in the finish
Ensure the substrate is completely dry and free of trapped moisture or air. Avoid over-mixing, which can introduce air, and apply in a well-ventilated area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the concrete substrate is clean, dry, and free from any contaminants like dust, grease, or old coatings. Proper surface preparation, including potential etching or grinding, is crucial for adhesion.
- Mix the two components of the epoxy paint according to the manufacturer's instructions for the specific kit size. Ensure thorough mixing to achieve a homogeneous blend.
- Apply the mixed paint within the pot life specified by the manufacturer, typically using a roller, trowel, or notched trowel.
Compatibility:
- Compatible with Mipa primers for enhanced performance.
- Can be mixed with quartz additives to create an anti-slip finish.
Care:
- Clean spills promptly to prevent staining.
- Regular cleaning with mild detergents and water is recommended.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the coating.
