FAQs
Is this paint suitable for direct food contact?
The RT 2K PU Topcoat is food-safe certified for dry, abrasive food contact *only* when applied over specific FT Paints EP primers. It is not safe for wet or fatty food contact.
How long does it take to fully cure?
The paint achieves complete hardness and full cure strength in approximately 5 to 6 days at 20°C. It is dust-dry in 25-30 minutes.
Can I use this on plastic surfaces?
This product is primarily designed for metal, aluminium, and glass. Compatibility with plastics should be tested on a small, inconspicuous area first, as some plastics may be softened or damaged by the solvents.
What is the recommended application temperature?
The ideal application temperature is between 15°C and 25°C. Avoid spraying in direct sunlight, high humidity, or temperatures below 10°C.
How should I store the aerosol can?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sources of ignition. Do not store at temperatures above 50°C.
How do I clean up spray equipment or spills?
As this is an aerosol, clean-up is minimal. For any uncured spills or accidental spray, use a suitable solvent compatible with polyurethane coatings immediately after application. Once cured, removal is difficult.
Troubleshooting
Uneven spray pattern or sputtering
Shake the can more frequently during use. Ensure the nozzle is not clogged; if it is, clear it with a fine needle or replace the can.
Runs or drips in the finish
Apply thinner coats. Maintain an even spray distance (approx. 25-30 cm). Allow adequate flash-off time between coats.
Poor adhesion or chipping
Ensure the substrate is properly prepared, clean, and dry. Use the recommended FT Paints EP primer. Apply in suitable temperature and humidity conditions.
Surface remains tacky after extended drying
Application may have occurred in too low a temperature or high humidity. Ensure adequate ventilation. Full cure can take longer under suboptimal conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the aerosol can is at room temperature before use. Shake the can vigorously for at least two minutes after hearing the mixing ball. Perform a test spray on a scrap surface to check spray pattern and color match.
Compatibility: This topcoat is designed to be applied over FT Paints EP primers for optimal adhesion and performance. It adheres well to clean, dry metal, aluminium, and glass substrates. Ensure surfaces are free from grease, oil, and existing coatings that may interfere with adhesion.
Care: For best results, apply in a well-ventilated area with temperatures between 15°C and 25°C. Avoid application in direct sunlight or in humid conditions. Protect surrounding areas from overspray.
Maintenance: Clean surfaces with mild detergent and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the gloss finish.
