Product Information
Full details
The FabioT. RT 2K Polyurethane Texture Paint is designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts seeking a durable, semi-gloss textured finish for industrial machinery, components, tools, and steel structures. Its key benefit is the creation of a robust protective layer that effectively hides surface imperfections while providing a professional decorative look. A potential consideration is the need for proper ventilation and personal protective equipment due to its 2K polyurethane-acrylic formulation.

FAQs
What is the shelf life of the mixed product?
Once mixed, the product has a limited pot life, typically a few hours, depending on temperature. Unmixed components should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Can this paint be applied with a brush or roller?
While primarily designed for spray application (spray gun and airless), some users may achieve a textured effect with specific roller types, though results can vary significantly. Brushing is generally not recommended for achieving an even texture.
How long does it take to fully cure?
The curing time depends on temperature, humidity, and film thickness. It will be touch-dry within a few hours, but full hardness and chemical resistance are typically achieved after several days.
What is the recommended application temperature?
It is generally recommended to apply within a temperature range of 10°C to 30°C (50°F to 86°F) for optimal performance and drying characteristics. Always refer to the product's technical data sheet for specific recommendations.
Does this product require a primer?
For bare metal surfaces, a suitable primer is highly recommended to ensure optimal adhesion and corrosion protection. Check the product's technical data sheet for specific primer recommendations for your substrate.
What is the coverage rate?
Coverage varies based on application method, surface porosity, and film thickness. A general guideline for a textured finish is typically around 5-7 square meters per liter per coat, but refer to the product's technical data sheet for precise figures.
Can I recoat the surface later?
Yes, recoating is possible. Ensure the previous coat is clean and sound. Lightly abrading the surface and removing any dust may be necessary before applying subsequent coats to ensure good intercoat adhesion.
Troubleshooting
Uneven texture or poor coverage
Ensure proper mixing ratios of paint, hardener, and thinner. Adjust spray gun settings (pressure, nozzle size) and maintain a consistent application distance. Check for blockages in spray equipment.
Paint not drying or curing properly
Verify that the correct hardener was used and mixed in the proper ratio. Ensure application temperature is within the recommended range and humidity levels are not too high. Incomplete mixing can also be a cause.
Runs or sags in the finish
Apply in thin, even coats rather than one heavy coat. Reduce application speed and ensure the surface is not oversaturated. Allow adequate flash-off time between coats if necessary.
Poor adhesion to surface
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from grease, oil, or rust before application. Proper surface preparation and the use of a suitable primer (if recommended by the manufacturer for the specific substrate) are crucial.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Provides a durable, impact-resistant finish.
- Hides surface imperfections effectively.
- Offers excellent resistance to UV, weather, chemicals, and solvents.
- Ensures high adhesion and smooth application.
- Suitable for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications.
Cons
- Requires proper ventilation and safety equipment due to 2K formulation.
- May require specific application techniques for optimal results.
- The textured finish might be less desirable for certain aesthetic requirements.
- The kit includes thinner, but additional materials may be needed depending on the application method.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This is a 2K (two-component) system requiring mixing of the paint, hardener, and thinner in the proportions specified by the manufacturer. Ensure adequate ventilation and wear appropriate personal protective equipment (gloves, respirator, eye protection) before mixing and application. The kit includes 1.90 L of paint, 0.48 L of hardener, and 0.37 L of thinner.
Compatibility: Primarily designed for metal surfaces, including industrial machinery, components, lockers, tools, and steel structures. It is recommended to test on a small, inconspicuous area first if applying to surfaces other than bare metal or previously coated compatible materials.
Care: Clean application equipment immediately after use with an appropriate solvent. For the coated surface, periodic cleaning with mild soap and water is sufficient. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh solvents that could damage the finish. Inspect regularly for any signs of wear or damage, and touch up as needed following application guidelines.
