KF-RB500 elastic rubber soft-touch paint (Soft-Touch coating) is a specialty effect coating designed specifically to give plastic surfaces a soft, silky, leather-like feel. It uses a waterborne / solventborne PU elastomer as the base. Once cured, the coating has a distinctive elastic touch—pressing with a finger produces a slight rebound feel, similar to rubber, silicone or leather. It also has a certain self-healing ability (minor scratches can heal themselves). Matte finish, anti-fingerprint. Widely used on touch surfaces that seek a premium feel, such as automotive interiors (dashboard / door handles / steering-wheel buttons), consumer electronics (mouse / keyboard / earphones / phone cases), premium packaging boxes and cosmetic containers.

4. Application Guide
Surface preparation
Thoroughly clean the substrate surface to remove oil and rust. Abrasive-blast steel to Sa2.5 (ISO 8501-1) with 40-75μm surface profile. Concrete substrate moisture content must be below 6%, grind to remove laitance. For old coatings, remove loose areas and roughen the surface.
Mixing / compounding
According to the mix ratio indicated on the product label, add the hardener (component B) slowly to the base (component A) and mechanically stir for 3-5 minutes until uniform. Let stand to mature for 10-15 minutes before use. Use up within the specified pot life after mixing.
Application method
Recommended air spray (gun orifice 1.5-2.0 mm, pressure 0.4-0.6 MPa) or airless spray (nozzle 0.38-0.53 mm, pressure 15-25 MPa). Small areas may be brushed or rolled. Keep each coat dry film thickness within the specified range.
Curing conditions
Self-cures at ambient temperature (23°C) provided relative humidity meets requirements. Do not apply under low temperature (<5°C) or high humidity (>85%). Conduct performance testing only after full cure.
