Product Information
Full details
The FabioT. RT 2K Polyurethane Texture Paint is a high-performance, semi-gloss textured coating ideal for professionals working with industrial machinery, components, tools, and steel structures. Its key benefit is a durable, protective, and aesthetically pleasing finish that effectively hides surface imperfections. A minor caveat is its 2K formula, which requires careful mixing of paint, hardener, and thinner for optimal results.

FAQs
What is a 2K polyurethane paint system?
A 2K (two-component) system means the paint contains a base (resin) and a separate hardener that must be mixed together just before use. This chemical reaction creates a much more durable and resistant coating than traditional 1K paints.
What surfaces can this paint be applied to?
This paint is primarily designed for metal surfaces, including industrial machinery, components, tools, lockers, and steel structures. It can also be applied over properly prepared and primed surfaces.
How do I achieve the textured finish?
The textured finish is inherent to the paint formulation. Proper application technique and ensuring the texture particles are evenly suspended by stirring are key to achieving a uniform textured appearance.
What is the shelf life of the mixed paint?
Once the paint and hardener are mixed, there is a limited pot life (working time) during which the paint must be used before it begins to cure in the container. Refer to the product's technical data sheet for specific pot life information.
Can this paint be used outdoors?
Yes, the RT 2K Polyurethane Texture Paint is UV and weather resistant, making it suitable for outdoor applications and providing long-lasting durability against environmental factors.
What is the typical kit size and what does it include?
The 2750ml kit typically includes 1.90 L of paint, 0.48 L of hardener, and 0.37 L of thinner. These are pre-measured for convenient mixing.
How should I clean my application equipment after use?
Equipment should be cleaned immediately after use with a suitable solvent thinner (as recommended by the manufacturer). Dried 2K polyurethane paint is very difficult to remove.
Troubleshooting
Paint not drying or curing properly
Ensure the hardener and thinner were mixed in the correct ratios and that the temperature and humidity are within the recommended application range. Insufficient mixing or improper environmental conditions can inhibit curing.
Uneven texture or finish
Check spray gun settings (pressure, nozzle size) and technique. Ensure consistent application speed and distance. Stir the paint thoroughly before and during application to keep the texture particles suspended.
Poor adhesion to the surface
Verify that the surface was properly prepared – clean, dry, and free of grease, oil, or rust. A suitable primer might be necessary for optimal adhesion on certain substrates.
Sagging or runs in the coating
Apply the paint in thinner coats rather than one thick coat. Reduce application speed and ensure the correct distance from the surface. Avoid over-thinning the paint, which can affect its viscosity.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Provides a durable, protective, and visually appealing textured finish.
- Excellent resistance to impact, chemicals, solvents, UV, and weather.
- Hides surface imperfections effectively, saving preparation time.
- High adhesion ensures a long-lasting bond on metal surfaces.
- Suitable for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications.
Cons
- Requires precise mixing of paint, hardener, and thinner due to its 2K nature.
- May require specialized application equipment (spray gun, airless sprayer).
- Drying times can vary based on environmental conditions.
- Textured finish might not be suitable for all aesthetic preferences.
- Requires proper ventilation and personal protective equipment during application.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This is a 2K (two-component) system. It is crucial to mix the paint, hardener, and thinner in the correct proportions as specified by the manufacturer before application. Typically, the kit includes pre-measured volumes for convenience. Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from grease, oil, and rust before application. Proper ventilation and personal protective equipment (respirator, gloves, eye protection) are mandatory during mixing and application.
Compatibility: The RT 2K Polyurethane Texture Paint is designed for metal surfaces, including industrial machinery, components, lockers, tools, and steel structures. It is compatible with spray gun and airless application equipment. Always perform a test patch on an inconspicuous area to ensure compatibility with existing finishes or primers, if applicable.
Care: To maintain the finish, clean the coated surfaces with a mild detergent and water. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the coating. For routine maintenance on industrial equipment, wipe down with a damp cloth. Regular cleaning will help preserve the protective qualities and appearance of the paint.
