Product Information
Full details
The FabioT. RT 2K Epoxy Floor Paint is a high-performance, solvent-free coating designed for industrial floors, workshops, warehouses, and storage areas subjected to heavy mechanical loads and chemical exposure. It provides a semi-gloss, self-levelling finish with exceptional abrasion resistance and excellent adhesion to concrete. While offering durable protection, users should be aware of the 7-day full curing time required for optimal performance.

FAQs
What is the typical coverage rate for this epoxy paint?
Coverage varies based on application thickness and substrate porosity. Refer to the product's technical data sheet for specific coverage estimates, typically provided in square meters per liter.
Can this product be used on exterior concrete surfaces?
While designed for industrial use, its resistance to chemicals and abrasion makes it suitable for protected exterior areas. However, long-term UV exposure may affect gloss levels. Check manufacturer recommendations for exterior durability.
How long does the mixed product remain usable (pot life)?
The pot life is typically short, often around 30-60 minutes at standard temperatures. Mixed product should be used promptly and never left in a closed container as it will continue to react and generate heat.
Is primer always necessary before applying this epoxy?
While excellent adhesion to concrete is a feature, using a compatible primer, especially on very porous or challenging substrates, is often recommended to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Consult the manufacturer's guidelines.
Can I apply a second coat?
Yes, a second coat can be applied for increased durability and a more uniform finish. Ensure the first coat is sufficiently cured to accept the second coat, typically within the recoat window specified by the manufacturer.
What is the best way to clean tools after use?
Tools should be cleaned immediately after use with a suitable solvent, such as xylene or methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), while the coating is still wet. Once cured, removal can be difficult.
What is the warranty period for this product?
Warranty information is typically provided by the manufacturer or seller. It is recommended to check the product packaging or contact the retailer for details on warranty terms.
Troubleshooting
Product not curing properly
Ensure the correct mixing ratio of Part A and Part B was used. Check ambient temperature and humidity levels, as extreme conditions can affect curing. Ensure the product was within its shelf life.
Poor adhesion or peeling
Surface preparation may have been inadequate. Re-check for contaminants, moisture, or insufficient etching/grinding of the concrete. Ensure the correct primer was used if necessary.
Uneven finish or roller marks
Ensure consistent application technique and work within the product's pot life. For self-levelling, ensure the product is applied evenly and allowed to spread. Consider using a notched trowel for thicker, more controlled application.
Bubbling or pinholes
This can be caused by trapped moisture in the substrate or outgassing from the concrete. Ensure the concrete is fully dry and porous. Applying in cooler temperatures or during high humidity can also contribute.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High durability for heavy-duty environments.
- Excellent resistance to chemicals, oils, and abrasion.
- Provides a smooth, aesthetically pleasing finish.
- Fast return to service capability (walkable in 24 hours).
- Solvent-free formulation for safer application.
- Good adhesion to concrete substrates.
Cons
- Requires a full 7-day curing period for maximum performance.
- Sample size may be insufficient for large areas.
- Application requires careful surface preparation for optimal adhesion.
- May require specialized primers for certain substrates.
- Semi-gloss finish may show surface imperfections more readily than a matte finish.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Proper surface preparation is crucial. The concrete substrate must be clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, oil, and other contaminants. For optimal adhesion, it is recommended to prepare the surface by mechanical grinding or acid etching, followed by thorough cleaning and drying. Ensure adequate ventilation during application.
Compatibility: This product is compatible with Mipa primers and can be used with quartz additives to create anti-slip finishes. Always test compatibility with any additives or primers not explicitly mentioned.
Care: Clean spills immediately to prevent staining. For regular cleaning, use a damp mop and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the coating. Regular inspection of high-traffic areas can help identify any potential wear points early.
