Product Information
Full details
The FabioT. RT 2K PU Topcoat is designed for professionals and serious DIYers needing a durable, high-performance finish for vehicles, machinery, and metal structures facing significant wear. Its key benefit is exceptional resistance to mechanical stress, chemicals, UV, and weather, providing a long-lasting, semi-gloss protective layer. A potential caveat is the need for proper ventilation and protective equipment due to its industrial-grade formulation. This premium waterborne polyurethane coating offers a sophisticated satin matt finish with excellent adhesion and rapid drying times, making it ideal for demanding environments.

FAQs
What is the correct mixing ratio for the 1.10 L kit?
The 1.10 L Kit includes 0.73 L of Paint, 0.18 L of Hardener, and 0.19 L of Thinner. Always refer to the product label for precise mixing instructions.
Can this coating be applied with a brush?
While primarily designed for spraying, brush application may be possible for small areas. However, achieving a uniform finish comparable to spraying can be challenging. Use a high-quality synthetic brush and work quickly due to the extended open time.
What is the shelf life of the mixed product?
Once mixed, the product has a limited pot life and must be used within a specific timeframe, typically a few hours. Refer to the product's technical data sheet for exact details.
How resistant is the coating to heat?
The RT 2K PU Topcoat is heat resistant up to 180°C for short-term exposure, providing reliable performance in demanding thermal environments.
What is the recommended method for cleaning application equipment?
Clean spray guns and tools immediately after use with an appropriate waterborne cleaner or water, following the cleaner manufacturer's instructions.
Is this product suitable for food contact surfaces?
This product is engineered for vehicles, machinery, and metal structures and is not typically intended for direct food contact applications. Always consult the manufacturer's specifications for suitability.
How long does it take to achieve a full cure?
The coating is dust-dry in 1-1.5 hours, but it takes approximately 7-8 days to reach full hardness and optimal chemical resistance.
Troubleshooting
Coating is too thick or not flowing properly
Ensure correct mixing ratios of paint, hardener, and thinner. Check if the thinner is appropriate for the product and ambient temperature.
Uneven finish or "orange peel" effect
Adjust spray gun settings (pressure, nozzle size) and maintain a consistent distance and speed. Ensure proper temperature and humidity conditions.
Slow drying time
Verify that the correct hardener was used and mixed thoroughly. Ambient temperature and humidity can affect drying times; ensure conditions are within the recommended range.
Poor adhesion to the substrate
Check for inadequate surface preparation (e.g., grease, dust, or old coatings not removed). Ensure the compatible WEP primer was used correctly.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High resistance to mechanical and chemical damage.
- Excellent UV and weather resistance for outdoor applications.
- Fast drying times improve workflow efficiency.
- Suitable for high-temperature environments.
- Waterborne formula is more environmentally friendly than solvent-based alternatives.
Cons
- Requires specialized knowledge for application due to its 2K formulation.
- Needs proper ventilation and personal protective equipment.
- May have a limited shelf life once mixed.
- Higher initial cost compared to single-component coatings.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Proper setup involves ensuring a clean, well-ventilated workspace. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including a respirator, gloves, and eye protection, when handling and applying the coating. Mix the components (paint, hardener, thinner) precisely according to the kit instructions. Do not mix more than you can apply within the product's pot life.
Compatibility: This topcoat is specifically designed to be compatible with WEP Primers. Using unapproved primers may compromise adhesion and durability. Ensure all surfaces are thoroughly cleaned and prepared according to industry best practices before application.
Care: To maintain the finish, clean surfaces with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the coating. For industrial applications, regular inspection for wear or damage is recommended, with touch-ups applied after proper surface preparation.
