FAQs
What is a 2K coating?
A 2K (two-component) coating contains a base and a hardener that mix within the can or during application. This creates a more durable and chemically resistant finish compared to single-component paints. The 2K PU265 HS aerosol mixes these components internally when the actuator is pressed.
How long does it take to fully cure?
The coating is dust-dry in 15-30 minutes but requires approximately 7-8 days under standard conditions for a full cure, achieving its maximum hardness and resistance.
Can this be used on painted surfaces?
Yes, it can be applied over existing, well-adhered paintwork or primers, provided the surface is clean, dry, and properly prepared.
What temperature range is ideal for application?
The ideal temperature range for application is between 15°C and 25°C to ensure proper drying and curing.
How much area can one 400ml can cover?
Coverage varies depending on application thickness and surface texture, but typically a 400ml can will cover approximately 0.5 to 1 square meter with two coats.
Is this product suitable for interior use?
While designed for chassis protection, its robust properties might suit other heavy-duty applications. However, ensure adequate ventilation if used indoors, as it contains strong solvents and is designed for durable exterior protection.
What is the shelf life of the aerosol can?
Unused aerosol cans should be stored in a cool, dry place. The typical shelf life is around 2 years from the date of manufacture, provided the can is sealed and stored correctly.
Troubleshooting
Uneven spray pattern or clogs
Shake the can more vigorously. Ensure the nozzle is clean and clear. If the nozzle is blocked, remove and soak it in thinners, then reattach.
Runs or sags in the finish
Apply in thinner coats. Ensure adequate distance between the can and the surface. Avoid spraying in conditions of high humidity or temperature.
Poor adhesion
Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and prepared before application. Remove any contaminants like grease or oil. Ensure the substrate is suitable for adhesion.
Product does not seem to activate
Ensure the can has been shaken adequately as per instructions to mix the internal components.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This product is a 2K aerosol, meaning the activator is mixed internally upon first use. Shake the can vigorously for at least 2 minutes before and during use. Press the actuator button firmly to spray. Ensure the application area is well-ventilated and wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, eye protection, and a respirator mask.
Compatibility:
The 2K PU265 HS Chassis Topcoat is designed for direct application onto clean, dry surfaces of steel, galvanised steel, and aluminium. It is also suitable for application over existing, well-adhered paintwork or primers. Ensure surfaces are free from grease, oil, and contaminants before application.
Care:
For best results, apply in temperatures between 15°C and 25°C. Avoid application in direct sunlight or high humidity. Clean application equipment immediately after use with appropriate thinners. Store cans upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
