All NEW TXT 2K COATING - Set to rival all competitors in texture coatings, TXT 2K is as tough & durable as you can get in a DIY format. Using the latest technology in resins coatings, TXT 2K is a High Solid Polyurethane consisting of a Part A + Part B component which when combined gives a chemical reaction making this coating go HARD. TXT 2K has outstanding performance in adhesion and UV holdout.
This coating was locally designed and developed to beat the competitors and perform in Australia’s harsh environment. What’s better is we manufacture it right here Down Under, so you can be assured its brewed fresh!
TXT 2K is ideal for under carriages, wheels houses, utility tubs, tool boxes, fender flares, caravans, trailers, chassis, industrial uses and entire exteriors if your feeling up to it.
TXT 2K is a 2-Part paint system which comes ready to mix with paint and catalyst. Available in Black and Tintable versions the coating is thick and will give you a neat texture coating which is forgiving in covering a range or surfaces. The paint can be thinned down by adding TXT 2K reducer which will allow the coating to be applied by a conventional gravity feed or pot style gun. We suggest a paint gun with a tip size between 2.0 – 3.0mm, doing this will allow you to achieve a finer texture or close to smooth finish.

SURFACE PREPARATION
Bare metal, aluminum and galvanized steel - abrade with a minimum 80-180P sandpaper. Clean surface with solvent based wax and grease remover or isopropanol, ensuring surface is free from dust, grease, oils and contaminants.
TXT can be applied direct to metal however, for best corrosion protection we suggest using a suitable primer such as etch or epoxy direct to metal then applying TXT.
If allowing primer to fully cure, you will need to treat this as a cured painted surface and abrade the primer to ensure maximum adhesion.
Rigid Plastic / Fiberglass - abrade with a minimum 80-180P sandpaper. Clean surface with solvent based wax and grease remover or isopropanol, ensuring surface is free from dust, grease, oil and contaminants. TXT can be applied direct to Rigid plastic /fiberglass surfaces.
Flexibly plastics - abrade with a minimum 180-240P sandpaper, clean surface with solvent based wax and grease remover or isopropanol. We recommend using a plastic adhesion promoter before applying TXT coating to ensure best adhesion.
Wood – TXT can be applied directly to wood, avoid using liquid solvents to clean, make sure wood is dry and free from dust and contaminants.
MIXING
Black TXT coating in tin is ready to apply, no decanting, hardener or reducer is required.
Shake tin for a minimum of 3 minutes immediately before applying to ensure successful mixing of coating.
APPLICATION
DO NOT APPLY BELOW 5°C
Spray Gun – suction feed Underbody Schultz guns are designed to screw directly to the TXT coating tin, use with a minimum 4mm tip. NOTE Test gun operation before attaching to coating tin.
Air pressure – 50-100psi (3.45 –6.9 bar) Higher pressure will give a finer texture, air pressure should be tested before application to achieve desired result.
Spray Distance – 20-25cm (8-10inches)
Application – Spray in an even overlapping pattern, apply a minimum of 2 coats
Coat 1 – Aim for 95% coverage, allowing flash off between coats 10mins @ 25°C (in colder conditions increase time frame between coats)
Coat 2 – Aim for 100% coverage, If spray pattern is visual on completion of final coat simply increase spray distance to 45-60cm and lightly spray over the surface with 45° passes to haze texture and even out the coating, do this until the desired finish is achieved.
DRY FILM BUILD (theoretical)
1 x Coat = 100µm, 4.0mils (0.1mm)
2 x Coats = 200µm, 8.0mils (0.2mm)
DRY TIME
Touch dry in 3-4hrs @25°C, allow 5-7 days for full cure with exposure to UV
Dry time can be reduced by baking, not recommended exceeding 60°C
COVERAGE
Approx. 2.7m2 - 3.0m2/L , tested with application by schultz gun at 70PSI
CLEAN UP
Clean equipment with solvent based gun wash, acetone or thinners.
