FAQs
What is the intended use for this epoxy floor paint sample?
This 100ml sample is intended for testing the performance, adhesion, and finish of the FabioT. RT 2K Epoxy Floor Paint on your specific concrete substrate before purchasing a larger kit.
Is this product suitable for garage floors?
Yes, the RT 2K Epoxy Floor Paint is designed for industrial floors, workshops, and storage areas, making it highly suitable for garage floors that experience heavy mechanical loads and chemical exposure.
How long does it take for the floor to be walkable?
The floor will be walkable in approximately 24 hours after application, with a full cure achieved within 7 days.
Can I apply this paint outdoors?
While designed for demanding indoor environments, its resistance to chemicals like de-icing salts suggests potential for certain outdoor applications. However, consult the manufacturer's full product data sheet for specific outdoor use recommendations and potential UV stability concerns.
What is the shelf life of the mixed product?
Once mixed, the two components have a limited pot life, typically ranging from 30-60 minutes depending on temperature. Unmixed components should be stored in a cool, dry place.
How do I prepare my concrete floor before applying this paint?
The concrete substrate must be clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, oil, paint, and other contaminants. Mechanical preparation such as grinding or acid etching is often recommended for optimal adhesion. Ensure the surface is fully dry before application.
Can I add anti-slip properties to this paint?
Yes, the product is compatible with quartz additives to create an anti-slip finish. These additives are typically broadcast into the wet coating.
Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering properly
Ensure the concrete surface was thoroughly cleaned, degreased, and adequately prepared (e.g., etched or abraded) before application. Check that the epoxy components were mixed in the correct ratio and allowed to 'sweat' or react for the recommended time.
Uneven or patchy finish
This can be due to inconsistent mixing or application. Ensure even spreading and that the paint is applied within its pot life. For self-levelling issues, confirm the product is suitable for the substrate and environmental conditions.
Bubbles or pinholes in the finish
Bubbles can result from moisture in the substrate or rapid off-gassing of air trapped during mixing. Ensure the concrete is completely dry and allow the mixed epoxy to rest briefly before application. Avoid over-rolling.
Product curing too quickly or too slowly
Cure times are temperature-dependent. Ensure you are working within the recommended temperature range specified by the manufacturer. Working in direct sunlight or excessively humid conditions can also affect curing.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Solvent-free for safer application
- Excellent durability against mechanical stress
- Resistant to a wide range of chemicals and oils
- Fast turnaround time with quick curing properties
- Suitable for various industrial and workshop environments
- Self-levelling for a smooth, professional finish
Cons
- Sample size limits immediate large-scale application
- Requires proper surface preparation for optimal adhesion
- Two-component mixing requires careful attention
- Solvent-free nature may require longer drying times in humid conditions
- Specific compatibility with Mipa primers and quartz additives for anti-slip may be needed for certain applications
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the concrete substrate is clean, dry, and free from contaminants. Proper surface preparation, such as cleaning and potentially etching, is crucial for optimal adhesion. Mix the two components of the epoxy thoroughly according to the manufacturer's instructions. Apply evenly using a roller, trowel, or notched trowel.
Compatibility: This paint is compatible with Mipa primers and can be used with quartz additives to create anti-slip surfaces. Always refer to manufacturer guidelines for specific primer recommendations.
Care: Clean spills immediately. For routine cleaning, use water and mild detergents. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the semi-gloss finish. Regular inspection for wear and tear is recommended for industrial settings.
