High resistance polyurethane paints 

It’s the most resistant and also the most used professional version among phosphorescent paints for safety. The phosphorescent polyurethane paint can be considered as a polyurethane topcoat because it’s bright and colourless. They are professional technical coatings that provide great hardness and extremely tight seal, for both indoor and outdoor use.

Discover below on the product page, all the product characteristics, available in 2 strong colours (Green and Turquoise) and 3 formats:

375 ml, 1.33 L, 4 L (complete kit with hardener)

Polyurethane phosphorescent paint for signalling

PHU2K paint is a product formulated in 2009, which has benefited from considerable scientific progress. The formula has been used and proven by many industrial customers and international companies.

Its properties were subjected to a series of laboratory quality tests. In this regard, PHU2K paint is a reference and model to many calls for tenders and project studies.

The product is a phosphorescent (or photoluminescent) polyurethane paint which is intended mainly for signalling, on vertical or horizontal surfaces, for marking guidance lines and evacuation routes, the layout of hazard areas, for industrial installations, buildings and factories, buried, military or secure sites.

The paint is remarkably bright and resistant

PHU2K polyurethane formula

The term polyurethane refers to a family of bi-component paints which uses a hardener as a reagent for hardening and drying.

This produces thick and extremely robust paint films compared to all other mono-component paint types that dry through air.

You can choose several ways to apply the paint: by brush or roller, but of course, the most appropriate means of applying it is spraying, which creates a uniform photoluminescent surface without marks. The use of the AirLess spray gun is prohibited, as the paint may create obstructions in the hose.

Polyurethane photoluminescent paints should be used for permanent marking at the workplace, because they are durable, resistant to friction and withstand trampling and even plant equipment crossing. They are used on walls, floors, steps and banisters, door contours, handles, and machines.

Application guide for signalling

The application is generally made using a 2.5cm or 5cm (regulatory width) stripe. For this, we create strips with adhesives.

Brush application is easier and cheaper.

The yield is calculated per litre of paint per m².

The yield can be estimated at 9 m²/L.

Therefore, there are 3 m²/L in 3 passes or 2.25 m²/L in 4 coats.

When calculating the total area, add 25% for overflow.

To calculate your needs in litres, divide the total area by 3 (m²).

With 3 coats, a minimum regulatory phosphorescence of class C can be obtained, while with 4-5 coats you can reach the higher class D.

A white primer must be applied prior to applying the phosphorescent paint: the product can be applied directly over a substrate provided that this latter is light-coloured.
