Two-pack or Isocyanate paint
This paint system was first used extensively during the 1970\'s and 1980\'s. The paint is extremely toxic. Isocyanate is a respiratory sensitiser so inhalation can affect breathing, with potentially fatal results. For this reason, this particular system is not normally suitable for application by DIY enthusiasts, as it requires special breathing equipment. Drying is assisted by the use of a hardener (the second part of the two pack system), although evaporation takes place also, preferably in a heated spray booth or oven. This paint type is very hardwearing and produces a finish straight from the spray gun, so cutting application times.

It is likely that hand-mixing is proscribed because of the toxic volatiles in this type of paint.
