Product Information
Full details
The FabioT. RT 2K Epoxy Floor Paint is a high-performance, solvent-free coating designed for industrial and commercial floors. It is ideal for workshops, warehouses, and storage areas that experience heavy mechanical loads and chemical exposure. Its key benefit is providing a durable, self-levelling, semi-gloss finish with excellent abrasion and chemical resistance. A minor caveat is that this guide focuses on the 100ml sample size, and larger quantities may have different application considerations.

FAQs
What is the purpose of the 100ml sample size?
The 100ml sample size is intended for testing the paint's color, finish, and adhesion on a small area before committing to a larger purchase, or for very small repair jobs.
Is this paint suitable for outdoor use?
While the paint offers chemical resistance including to salts, its primary design is for industrial indoor environments. Long-term UV exposure may affect its appearance.
How long does the paint take to fully cure?
The floor is walkable after 24 hours, but it takes approximately 7 days for the paint to reach its full, hard cure.
Can I apply this over an existing painted floor?
Compatibility depends on the existing coating. It's recommended to test adhesion on a small, inconspicuous area or consult the manufacturer's guidelines for applying over existing finishes.
What kind of ventilation is needed during application?
Although solvent-free, good general ventilation is always recommended when working with coatings. Ensure the area is well-aired during and after application.
Can this paint be used on garage floors?
Yes, it is suitable for garage floors due to its resistance to mechanical loads, chemicals, and oils, provided the concrete is properly prepared.
Troubleshooting
Paint is not self-levelling properly
Ensure the paint is mixed thoroughly and applied within its pot life. Ambient temperature can also affect flow; avoid extreme temperatures during application.
Poor adhesion to the concrete substrate
Re-evaluate the substrate preparation. The surface must be clean, dry, and free of any contaminants. A primer may be necessary for optimal bonding.
Uneven or patchy finish
Check for inconsistent application thickness. Ensure even spreading with the chosen applicator (roller, trowel). Apply a second coat if necessary, following recoat times.
Paint cures too quickly or too slowly
Monitor ambient temperature and humidity. Very high temperatures can accelerate curing, while low temperatures can slow it down. Adhere to the manufacturer's recommended application temperature range.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Durable, long-lasting finish for high-traffic areas.
- Resistant to chemicals, oils, and mechanical stress.
- Fast return-to-service time allows for quick project completion.
- Solvent-free formulation is safer for users and the environment.
- Versatile application methods suit different project needs.
Cons
- Sample size (100ml) is for testing or very small areas only.
- Requires proper substrate preparation for optimal adhesion.
- May require specific primers for best results.
- Application can be more involved than standard paints.
Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Preparation: Ensure the concrete substrate is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and other contaminants. Proper surface preparation, such as grinding or shot blasting, is crucial for optimal adhesion.
Application: The 100ml sample is suitable for small areas or testing. For larger projects, the paint can be applied using a roller, trowel, or notched trowel. It is compatible with Mipa primers for enhanced performance. For anti-slip finishes, consider using quartz additives.
Compatibility: This paint is designed for concrete substrates. Ensure compatibility with any existing coatings or sealers before application.
Care: Clean the surface with water and mild detergents. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the coating. For spills, clean them up promptly.
