Product Information
Full details
The FabioT. 2K PU265 HS Chassis Topcoat in Green (100ml sample) is designed for users needing durable, high-build protection for truck and commercial vehicle chassis. Its key benefit is robust corrosion and weather resistance, ensuring longevity in harsh environments. A minor caveat is that this is a 100ml sample, suitable for testing or small touch-ups, not large-scale applications. This polyurethane acrylic coating offers a semi-gloss finish and strong adhesion to various metal surfaces.

FAQs
What is the shelf life of this product?
The shelf life typically depends on storage conditions. It is best to check the product packaging or manufacturer's data sheet for specific information regarding shelf life and storage recommendations.
Can this be applied directly to rust?
While the product contains zinc phosphate for corrosion resistance, it is recommended to remove loose rust and apply a suitable primer for optimal adhesion and protection. Refer to the product's technical data sheet for specific guidance on rust treatment.
How long does it take to fully cure?
The product is dust-dry in 15-30 minutes. However, it requires 7-8 days under standard conditions for a full cure, after which it can withstand heavy-duty use.
What safety precautions should I take?
Always use in a well-ventilated area. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, eye protection, and a respirator rated for organic vapors. Consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed safety information.
Can I use this on other surfaces besides chassis?
This product is specifically formulated for heavy-duty chassis protection. While it may adhere to other metal surfaces, its performance characteristics (corrosion resistance, heat resistance) are optimized for chassis applications. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area if considering alternative uses.
Is this product available in larger sizes?
Yes, the 2K PU265 HS Chassis Topcoat is available in larger container sizes, such as 2750ml and 20000ml, and in various colours like Grey, Black, and Blue, in addition to this 100ml Green sample.
Troubleshooting
Product will not mix or cure properly
Ensure the correct mixing ratio of base and hardener is used. Verify that both components are within their recommended shelf life and have been stored correctly. Temperature can affect curing; ensure application is within the recommended temperature range.
Poor adhesion to the substrate
Surface preparation may be inadequate. Ensure the metal is thoroughly cleaned, degreased, and free from rust or old coatings. A compatible primer may be required for optimal adhesion, especially on bare metal.
Uneven or rough finish
This can be due to incorrect application technique, improper viscosity, or environmental factors like wind or dust. Ensure the correct application method (spray, brush) is used with appropriate equipment settings and conditions. Stir the product thoroughly before and during application.
Bubbling or pinholing
This often indicates trapped moisture or air. Ensure the surface is completely dry before application. If spraying, maintain correct spray gun distance and speed, and ensure the product is not applied too thickly. Check for contamination in spray equipment.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Provides excellent active corrosion protection.
- Offers superior resistance to UV, weather, and solvents.
- Good adhesion to various metal substrates.
- Suitable for demanding, high-heat environments.
- Fast drying time allows for quicker project completion.
Cons
- This is a 100ml sample size, not suitable for large projects.
- Requires careful mixing of 2K components for proper application.
- Full cure time of 7-8 days means extended waiting period before heavy use.
- Application requires appropriate safety gear due to its chemical composition.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This is a 2K (two-component) product, meaning the topcoat and hardener must be mixed in the correct ratio before application. Refer to the manufacturer's specific instructions for the precise mixing ratio and induction time. Ensure the surface to be coated is clean, dry, and free from grease, oil, and existing contaminants. Proper surface preparation, including any necessary priming, is crucial for optimal adhesion and performance.
Compatibility: The RT 2K PU265 HS Chassis Topcoat is formulated for use on steel, galvanised steel, and aluminium. It is recommended to use a suitable primer compatible with polyurethane coatings for best results, especially on bare metal.
Care: For best longevity, avoid harsh chemical cleaning immediately after application. Once fully cured, the surface can be cleaned with mild detergents and water. Regular inspection for damage and prompt touch-ups will extend the protective lifespan of the coating.
