Product Information
Full details
FabioT. RT 2K Epoxy Floor Paint is designed for professionals seeking a durable, high-performance coating for industrial and demanding floor spaces. Its key benefit is exceptional resistance to heavy mechanical loads and chemical spills, ensuring longevity in workshops, warehouses, and garages. A potential caveat is that it is a two-part system, requiring careful mixing for optimal results. This solvent-free, self-levelling epoxy offers excellent abrasion resistance, strong adhesion to concrete, and can be walked on within 24 hours.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is the coverage rate for this epoxy floor paint?
Coverage rates vary based on the product size and application thickness. Refer to the specific product packaging or technical data sheet for precise coverage information.
Can this paint be used on surfaces other than concrete?
This product is specifically engineered for concrete substrates. Use on other materials may not yield the desired results or durability. Always check the product's technical data sheet.
How long does the mixed paint remain workable (pot life)?
The pot life of the mixed 2K epoxy is typically limited, often ranging from 30 to 60 minutes depending on the temperature. Mix only what you can apply within this timeframe.
Is this paint suitable for exterior use?
While it offers excellent durability and chemical resistance, its suitability for exterior use, especially in direct UV exposure, should be confirmed with the manufacturer's technical data. Some epoxy formulations may degrade over time with UV exposure.
What is the difference between the sample size and larger kits?
The 100ml sample size is intended for testing adhesion, color, and finish on a small area or for very small projects. Larger kits (e.g., 1.10L) are designed for covering significantly larger floor areas.
Can I apply a second coat?
Yes, a second coat can be applied if needed for increased durability or color depth. Ensure the first coat has reached the recommended recoat window, usually within 12-24 hours, and is clean and sound.
Troubleshooting
Paint is not curing or is tacky after application
Ensure components A and B were mixed in the correct ratio and thoroughly blended. Check ambient temperature and humidity; application below recommended temperatures can affect curing.
Uneven or streaky finish
Ensure proper surface preparation and consistent application technique. For self-levelling properties, apply at an even thickness. Avoid overworking the paint during application.
Poor adhesion to the substrate
Verify that the concrete surface was adequately prepared (clean, dry, and free of contaminants) and properly primed if required. Mechanical preparation like grinding is often essential.
Bubbles or pinholes in the finish
This can be caused by trapped air, moisture in the substrate, or outgassing from the concrete. Ensure the substrate is dry and well-ventilated during application and curing. Applying too thickly can also contribute.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Exceptional durability for high-traffic industrial environments.
- Superior resistance to chemicals, oils, and abrasion.
- Quick return to service with a 24-hour walk-on time.
- Solvent-free formula for reduced VOC emissions.
- Strong adhesion to concrete ensures a long-lasting finish.
- Heat resistant up to 130°C for added application flexibility.
Cons
- Requires precise mixing of two components (2K system).
- Application may require specialized tools for optimal results.
- Sample size (100ml) is suitable for testing or small areas only.
- Longer curing time (7 days) for full mechanical resistance.
- Requires proper surface preparation for best adhesion.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Ensure the concrete substrate is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, oil, and any loose particles. Grinding or shot blasting may be necessary for optimal adhesion.
Mixing: This is a two-part (2K) system. Carefully measure and mix Component A (resin) and Component B (hardener) according to the manufacturer's instructions for the specific product quantity. Mix thoroughly for several minutes using a mechanical mixer to ensure a uniform blend. Incorrect mixing can lead to curing issues.
Application: Apply using a roller, trowel, or notched trowel. For anti-slip finishes, compatible Mipa primers and quartz additives can be used. Ensure even application to achieve the desired semi-gloss, self-levelling finish.
Compatibility: Compatible with Mipa primers. Consult the manufacturer for specific compatibility with other coatings or additives.
Care: Clean spills promptly. Use mild detergents and water for general cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
