Product Information
Full details
The FabioT. RT 2K Epoxy Floor Paint is designed for professionals and DIYers seeking a durable, high-performance coating for industrial and workshop concrete floors. Its key benefit is exceptional resistance to heavy mechanical loads and chemical spills, offering a long-lasting, semi-gloss finish. A caveat is that it's a solvent-free formula, requiring proper ventilation during application, and is sold in sample sizes for testing suitability.

FAQs
What is the coverage rate of the sample size?
The 100 ml sample size is intended for testing application and adhesion on a small area. Coverage rates for larger quantities will vary based on the specific product size and application thickness.
Can this paint be used on exterior concrete surfaces?
This product is primarily designed for interior industrial environments. For exterior use, additional protective coatings and UV resistance may be required, and its performance in freeze-thaw cycles should be considered.
How long does the mixed epoxy remain usable?
The pot life (working time) of the mixed epoxy is typically limited. Refer to the specific product instructions for the exact pot life, which is usually around 30-60 minutes at standard temperatures.
Can I apply this over an existing painted floor?
It is generally not recommended to apply directly over existing paint. The old coating must be completely removed or thoroughly prepared (e.g., sanded and primed) to ensure proper adhesion of the new epoxy layer.
What is the best way to achieve an anti-slip finish?
To achieve an anti-slip finish, incorporate compatible quartz additives into the wet epoxy coating during application, according to the additive manufacturer's instructions.
Is this product safe to use in food preparation areas?
While solvent-free, this product is engineered for industrial use. For food preparation areas, consult specific food-grade certifications and regulations to ensure compliance.
What is the recommended temperature range for application?
The ideal application temperature is typically between 10°C and 30°C (50°F and 86°F). Avoid applying in extreme temperatures or when condensation is likely.
Troubleshooting
Paint is not curing or curing very slowly.
Ensure correct mixing ratios of the two components. Check ambient temperature; it should be within the recommended application range. Verify that the product has not expired.
Poor adhesion to the concrete surface.
The concrete surface may not have been adequately prepared. Re-clean and abrade the surface. Ensure the concrete was completely dry before application. Use a compatible primer if necessary.
Uneven or streaky finish.
Ensure consistent application technique. The self-levelling properties work best when applied evenly. Avoid overworking the product, which can lead to streaks.
Bubbling or blistering during application.
This can be caused by moisture in the concrete or trapped air. Ensure the substrate is dry and well-ventilated during application. Apply thinner coats if necessary.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High resistance to mechanical stress and chemicals.
- Durable, long-lasting finish.
- Fast drying and curing times reduce downtime.
- Suitable for a wide range of industrial and workshop applications.
- Solvent-free formulation is environmentally friendlier.
- Can be made anti-slip with compatible additives.
Cons
- Sample size may not be sufficient for large projects.
- Requires proper ventilation due to solvent-free nature.
- Surface preparation is critical for optimal adhesion.
- Long-term heat resistance is limited.
- May require specific primers for best results.
- Not suitable for exterior use without further protective measures.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the concrete substrate is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or old coatings. Lightly abrade or diamond grind for optimal adhesion.
- Mix the two components of the epoxy thoroughly according to the manufacturer's instructions. Work within the pot life of the mixed product.
- Apply evenly using a roller, trowel, or notched trowel. For anti-slip properties, incorporate quartz additives into the wet coating.
Compatibility:
- Compatible with Mipa primers.
- Compatible with quartz additives for enhanced slip resistance.
- Not recommended for use on asphalt or existing painted surfaces without proper preparation and priming.
Care:
- Clean spills immediately with a damp cloth.
- For routine cleaning, use a mild detergent and water with a soft mop or cloth.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh solvents that could damage the finish.
- Regular inspection for any signs of wear or damage is recommended.
