2K Aerosol Systems

How two-component aerosol systems organize reactive coating components inside an aerosol package.

What it means

A 2K aerosol system is designed to keep reactive components separate until the product is activated for use. The exact activation method, pot life and application window depend on the specific AUTOFINISH product and its current technical documentation.

What to control

  • Two-component systems are selected when the coating specification calls for a reactive system.
  • Activation method and usable time are product-specific.
  • Do not assume a 2K product is a drop-in replacement for a 1K aerosol.
  • Always follow the current TDS, SDS and label instructions.
Technical note

Product performance, compatibility, drying, curing and regulatory information must be confirmed against the current TDS, SDS and label for the selected SKU.
