Product Information
Full details
The FabioT. RT 2K Epoxy Floor Paint is a high-performance, solvent-free coating designed for industrial and commercial floors requiring superior durability and chemical resistance. It's ideal for workshops, warehouses, and high-traffic areas, offering a semi-gloss, self-levelling finish that stands up to heavy mechanical loads. A potential limitation is that it's sold in sample sizes, which may not be sufficient for large projects.

FAQs
What surfaces can this epoxy paint be applied to?
This paint is specifically designed for concrete and industrial floors, including those in workshops, warehouses, and storage areas.
Is this product suitable for residential use?
While it offers high performance, its primary design is for industrial and commercial applications. For residential use, consider specific floor coatings designed for home environments.
How long does it take for the floor to be fully usable?
The floor is walkable after approximately 24 hours, but it requires a full 7 days to achieve complete curing and maximum resistance.
Can I apply this paint outdoors?
The product is designed for indoor industrial environments. Outdoor application may be affected by UV exposure and weather conditions, and its performance is not guaranteed.
What is the coverage rate for this paint?
Coverage rates vary based on application thickness and surface porosity. The 100ml sample is intended for testing or small areas; refer to larger kit sizes for coverage estimates on project areas.
Does the 'Graphite Black' sample come in different finishes?
This specific sample is described as having a semi-gloss finish.
What does '2K' mean in the product name?
'2K' refers to a two-component system, meaning the paint consists of two parts (typically a base and a hardener) that must be mixed together before application.
Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering properly
Ensure the concrete surface was thoroughly cleaned, degreased, and primed according to manufacturer instructions. Check for moisture in the substrate.
Uneven or streaky finish
Ensure proper mixing of the two components. Apply the paint evenly, maintaining a wet edge. If using a roller, use a suitable nap length for epoxy coatings.
Bubbles or pinholes in the coating
This can be caused by trapped moisture or air. Ensure the concrete is dry and apply in thin, even coats. Avoid applying in excessively humid conditions.
Paint curing too slowly
Ensure components were mixed in the correct ratio. Ambient temperature and humidity can affect cure times; apply within the recommended temperature range.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High durability for heavy-duty environments.
- Excellent resistance to chemicals, oils, and abrasion.
- Fast drying and curing times reduce operational disruption.
- Self-levelling properties create a smooth, professional finish.
- Solvent-free formula is safer for application.
Cons
- Sample sizes (100ml) are not suitable for large areas.
- Requires proper surface preparation for optimal adhesion.
- Application may require specific tools and techniques for best results.
- Long-term heat resistance details are limited to short-term stability.
- Compatibility with non-Mipa primers is not specified.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation is Key: For optimal adhesion, ensure the concrete substrate is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, oil, and previous coatings. Mechanically clean and prime the surface if necessary. Consult the product's technical data sheet for specific primer recommendations (e.g., Mipa primers).
Mixing: This is a 2K (two-component) system. Strictly follow the manufacturer's instructions for mixing ratios and pot life. Ensure components are thoroughly mixed to achieve a uniform blend.
Application: Apply evenly using a roller, trowel, or notched trowel. For anti-slip properties, consider using compatible quartz additives, also available from FabioT. or Mipa.
Curing: Allow the coating to cure fully. It is walkable in approximately 24 hours, but full chemical and mechanical resistance is achieved after 7 days.
Care: Clean spills immediately. For general cleaning, use water and mild detergents. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the semi-gloss finish.
