Touch-up Pen RAL 9016 Traffic White

Ready-mixed touch-up pen in RAL 9016 Traffic White, available in matt or gloss, for touching up scratches and small paint damage on powder-coated and painted surfaces. RAL 9016 is a neutral, cool white and looks noticeably different from RAL 9010 Pure White, which has a slight warm undertone.

Touch-up pen for modern window profiles and aluminium facades

RAL 9016 is a standard colour in commercial construction and on modern aluminium window profiles, as well as on facade cladding, office buildings and technical housings, for example in medical equipment or control cabinets, where a neutral, clean white is required. Scratches usually come from installation, transport, or wear at handles, hinges and edges.

Quick guide

Clean and degrease the area, sand it lightly if the damage goes deeper, shake the pen well, then apply the RAL 9016 paint in two thin coats with 10 minutes drying time in between. Leave to cure fully for at least 24 hours before polishing. For the full step-by-step guide with photos, see Powder coating repair made easy.

FAQs

Is RAL 9016 the same as RAL 9010 Pure White?

No. RAL 9016 Traffic White is cool and neutral, RAL 9010 Pure White has a slight warm undertone and looks faintly creamy. Side by side, the two shades are clearly different. This touch-up pen is mixed exclusively for RAL 9016, if your part is the warmer RAL 9010 tone, you will need the matching pen for that shade instead.

Why is Traffic White so common on modern window profiles?

Aluminium and uPVC window profiles have shifted towards a neutral, cool white over recent years, seen as a cleaner, more modern look than the warmer Pure White. As a result, RAL 9016 has become the standard shade on many current profile systems.

Can I fix my window frame with this instead of replacing it?

Yes, for localised scratches and chips on window frames, doors or facade elements, a spot repair with the pen is usually enough. A full frame replacement or recoating only makes sense for larger or deeper damage.

How much surface area does one pen cover?

With 12 ml of paint and two coats applied, one pen covers roughly 500 to 600 cm² as a rough estimate, about the size of an A4 sheet. In practice, a touch-up pen is used for spot repairs rather than full coverage, so one pen usually lasts for many small scratches and chips across several parts.
