FAQs
What is the recommended mixing ratio for the 5.50 L Kit?
The 5.50 L Kit includes 3.81 L of paint, 0.95 L of hardener, and 0.74 L of thinner. Refer to the product's technical data sheet for the precise mixing ratio and procedure.
How long is the pot life after mixing?
The pot life will vary depending on temperature and volume. Always consult the product's technical data sheet for the specific pot life of the mixed product.
Can this paint be applied with a brush?
While primarily designed for spray application (spray gun or airless), brush application might be possible for small areas or touch-ups, but achieving the intended textured finish may be challenging. Refer to technical data for specific recommendations.
What safety precautions should be taken when using this product?
Due to the 2K polyurethane-acrylic formulation, use in a well-ventilated area and wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including a respirator, gloves, and eye protection.
Is this paint suitable for exterior use?
Yes, the paint is UV & Weather Resistant, making it reliable for outdoor durability against sunlight, rain, and harsh conditions.
How should I clean up my equipment after use?
Clean spray equipment immediately after use with a suitable solvent recommended for polyurethane coatings.
What kind of surfaces can I apply this paint to?
It is designed for industrial machinery, components, lockers, tools, and steel structures. Proper surface preparation and priming are essential for optimal adhesion.
Troubleshooting
Paint not curing or hardening properly
Ensure the correct ratio of paint to hardener was used. Verify the hardener has not expired and was stored correctly. Check ambient temperature and humidity, as these can affect curing times.
Poor adhesion to the surface
The surface may not have been adequately prepared or cleaned. Ensure all grease, oil, and rust were removed. Verify that an appropriate primer was used for the substrate.
Uneven texture or 'orange peel' effect
Adjust spray gun settings, including fluid pressure, air pressure, and spray distance. Ensure consistent speed and overlap during application. Check paint viscosity and adjust with the recommended thinner if necessary.
Runs or sags in the finish
This is typically caused by applying too much paint too quickly. Reduce the amount of paint applied per coat, increase application speed, or allow for adequate drying time between coats. Ensure correct viscosity.
