Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is the coverage rate of this 20.0 L kit?
Coverage varies based on application method and substrate porosity, but typical rates for 2K PU topcoats range from 8-12 m² per liter at a standard dry film thickness. Refer to the product's technical data sheet for specific recommendations.
How long is the pot life after mixing?
The open time for application is extended, but the pot life (working time after mixing) depends on the temperature. Consult the technical data sheet for specific pot life duration at various temperatures.
Can this product be applied by brush or roller?
While designed for spraying, it may be possible to apply with high-quality brushes or rollers suitable for automotive/industrial coatings, especially for smaller areas or touch-ups. However, spraying typically yields the best finish. Adjust viscosity accordingly.
What is the recommended dry film thickness (DFT)?
The recommended DFT is typically between 50-80 microns per coat, depending on the application and primer system. Two coats are often recommended for optimal performance.
Is this product suitable for direct-to-metal applications without a primer?
For optimal adhesion, durability, and performance, using a compatible primer like FabioT. WEP Primers is highly recommended. Direct-to-metal application without a proper primer may compromise long-term performance.
How should leftover mixed product be disposed of?
Unused mixed product should be allowed to cure fully in a well-ventilated area, then disposed of as per local regulations for chemical waste. Do not pour down drains.
What is the shelf life of the unopened components?
Unopened components should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Refer to the product packaging or technical data sheet for the exact shelf life, which is typically 12-24 months under optimal storage conditions.
Troubleshooting
Poor adhesion or peeling
Ensure the surface is properly cleaned, degreased, and primed with a compatible FabioT. WEP Primer. Verify the correct mixing ratio of paint, hardener, and thinner.
Uneven finish or "orange peel"
Adjust spray gun settings (pressure, fluid tip), maintain consistent spraying distance and speed. Ensure correct viscosity by adjusting thinner if necessary, and check ambient temperature/humidity.
Coating remains tacky after extended time
Check ambient temperature and humidity; application may be outside optimal range. Verify correct hardener ratio was used and that the product has not expired.
Reduced resistance to chemicals or scratches
Ensure the coating has been allowed to fully cure (7-8 days) before exposing it to harsh conditions. Re-check mixing ratios and application thickness.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent resistance to mechanical and chemical stress.
- Superior UV and weather resistance for outdoor durability.
- High-quality semi-gloss finish for aesthetic appeal.
- Fast dust-drying time speeds up the application process.
- Extended open time aids in smooth, even application.
Cons
- Full cure takes 7-8 days, requiring patience before full use.
- Requires mixing with hardener and thinner, adding a preparation step.
- Waterborne formula may have specific application temperature/humidity requirements.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This is a 2K (two-component) system and requires mixing the paint with the hardener and thinner provided in the kit. Follow the manufacturer's recommended mixing ratio precisely for optimal performance. Ensure a clean and well-ventilated area for mixing and application. Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).
Compatibility:
This topcoat is compatible with FabioT. WEP Primers. For best results, ensure the substrate is properly prepared and primed with a compatible primer. It is suitable for vehicles, machinery, and metal structures.
Care:
Clean application tools immediately after use with water and appropriate cleaning agents. Avoid abrasive cleaning methods on the cured surface to maintain the finish. For maintenance, simple washing with mild detergents and water is recommended.
