Product Information
Full details
The FabioT. RT 2K Epoxy Floor Paint is designed for professionals and serious DIYers looking to create a durable, high-performance finish on industrial floors, workshops, and garages. Its key benefit is outstanding resistance to heavy mechanical loads and chemical spills, ensuring longevity in demanding environments. A potential caveat is that it is a 2K (two-part) system requiring careful mixing and application, which may have a steeper learning curve than single-component paints. This semi-gloss, self-levelling coating offers excellent adhesion, abrasion resistance, and can be applied via roller, trowel, or notched trowel, with options for anti-slip finishes.

FAQs
What surfaces can I use this epoxy floor paint on?
This paint is primarily designed for concrete and other suitable industrial flooring substrates that have been properly prepared. It requires a solid, clean, and dry surface.
How do I achieve an anti-slip finish?
You can achieve an anti-slip finish by incorporating quartz additives into the epoxy mixture during application, following the additive manufacturer's guidelines.
What is the pot life of the mixed product?
The pot life refers to how long the mixed product remains workable. This varies based on temperature; always refer to the product's technical data sheet for specific timings. It's generally a limited window, so only mix what you can apply within that time.
Can I apply this paint in cold temperatures?
It is recommended to apply the paint within a specific temperature range, typically between 10°C and 25°C, to ensure proper mixing, application, and curing. Avoid application in freezing or excessively hot conditions.
How long does it take for the floor to be fully hardened?
The floor is walkable in approximately 24 hours, but it requires a full 7 days to cure completely and achieve its maximum hardness and chemical resistance.
Is this product suitable for outdoor use?
While it offers good resistance to de-icing salts, its primary formulation is for industrial indoor environments. Long-term UV exposure may affect the finish; check specific product data for outdoor suitability.
What are the dimensions of the 400ml spray can?
The product information provided lists a 400ml spray can variant. Specific dimensions for the spray can itself are not detailed in the product description.
Troubleshooting
Uneven finish or visible brush/roller marks
Ensure the product is mixed thoroughly and applied with consistent pressure and overlap. For larger areas, consider using a notched trowel or a specific epoxy roller. Work in manageable sections.
Poor adhesion or peeling after curing
The substrate may not have been properly prepared (e.g., not clean, damp, or contaminated). Ensure the concrete is etched or mechanically prepared, completely dry, and free from dust, oil, or previous coatings before application. Check primer compatibility if used.
Product cures too quickly or not at all
Verify that the two components were mixed in the correct ratio. Temperature can significantly affect cure times; ensure application is within the recommended temperature range. Discard improperly mixed or uncured material.
Surface remains tacky after curing
This can be due to incorrect mixing ratios, insufficient curing time, or high humidity during application. Ensure proper mixing, allow adequate curing time, and apply in conditions with moderate humidity.
