FAQs
What is the recommended application method?
The paint is suitable for application with a spray gun or airless equipment. Ensure proper setup and technique for best results.
How should I mix the 2K components?
Refer to the product label for the precise mixing ratio of the paint, hardener, and thinner. Mix thoroughly to ensure uniform consistency before application.
What is the shelf life of the mixed product?
Once mixed, the product has a limited pot life. Use the mixture within the recommended time frame to ensure proper performance. Refer to the product data sheet for specific pot life details.
Can this paint be used on plastic or wood?
This paint is specifically formulated for metal substrates. Compatibility with plastic or wood surfaces may require specialized primers and testing, and is not guaranteed.
How long does it take to dry and cure?
Drying and curing times depend on temperature, humidity, and film thickness. Allow sufficient time for recoating and full cure before putting the surface into heavy use. Refer to the technical data sheet for specific times.
Is this paint suitable for food processing equipment?
This product is designed for industrial applications and is not certified for direct food contact. Ensure it is not used in environments where it will come into direct contact with food products.
What safety precautions should I take?
Always use in a well-ventilated area. Wear appropriate PPE, including a respirator, chemical-resistant gloves, and safety glasses. Avoid inhalation of vapors and contact with skin and eyes.
Troubleshooting
Paint not curing or curing slowly
Verify correct mixing ratio of paint, hardener, and thinner. Ensure application temperature is within the recommended range and humidity is not excessive.
Poor adhesion to surface
Ensure the surface was properly prepared, cleaned, and free from contaminants. Check if the correct primer was used, if necessary, and reapply after surface preparation.
Uneven or rough texture
Adjust spray gun settings (pressure, nozzle size) and application technique. Ensure consistent material flow and distance from the surface. Thinner ratio may need adjustment based on application conditions.
Coating defects (runs, sags)
Reduce application pressure, increase spraying speed, or apply in lighter coats. Ensure adequate flash-off time between coats.
Visible surface imperfections after application
The textured finish is designed to hide minor defects. For more significant imperfections, ensure proper surface preparation and priming before applying the topcoat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This is a 2K (two-component) system. Before application, ensure the paint, hardener, and thinner are mixed in the correct proportions as specified by the manufacturer. Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including a respirator, gloves, and eye protection, and ensure adequate ventilation in the application area.
Compatibility:
Primarily designed for metal surfaces including industrial machinery, components, lockers, tools, and steel structures. Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from contaminants like grease, oil, and rust before application. A suitable primer may be recommended for optimal adhesion, especially on bare or galvanized metals. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area if unsure about substrate compatibility.
Care:
To maintain the finish, clean surfaces with mild soap and water. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the coating. Regularly inspect for any signs of wear or damage and touch up as needed following proper application procedures.
