SURFACE PREPARATIONPrepare the surface in accordance with SP 71.13 330.2017. The substrate must meet the following requirements:
concrete, reinforced concrete, brick masonry; age over 28 days and relative humidity no more than 4%
cement, cement-sand, cement-lime, lime renders and putties; age over 14 days and relative humidity no more than 4%
polymer putties; age over 3 days, relative humidity no more than 1%
gypsum plasters and putties over 3 days old, and relative humidity no more than 1%.
- Clean the substrate of dust and dirt. Remove any weak layers of old paint and limewash from previously painted surfaces.
- Sand solid, firmly adhering glossy surfaces to a matte finish; remove sanding dust.
- Level shallow depressions and cracks with the appropriate putty Bergauf.
- Surfaces previously coated with chalk or lime paints must be thoroughly cleaned until completely removed.
- Loosely bound (soft) gypsum plasters, fillers, and polymer fillers must be strengthened with a deep-penetrating primer Bergauf Techno Primer or Bergauf Tiefgrunt.
- Before applying the paint, prime the surface with the insulating primer Bergauf Techno Primer Isol.
The number of coats of the insulating primer, depending on the type of substrate:
— gypsum plasters and fillers 2 coats
— polymer fillers 1–2 coats
— cement plasters and fillers 1–2 coats
— concrete 1–2 coats
— drywall 1–2 coats
— brick 1–2 coats
Applying the non-combustible paint Fire Stop to the primed substrate should be carried out no earlier than after 4 hours, while observing the temperature range from +15°C and relative air humidity of no more than 65%.
At temperatures below +15℃ or relative air humidity above 65%, the primer drying time before painting increases. The primer strength development time may reach 14 days.
Applying the non-combustible paint Fire Stop to not fully dried primer is not permitted!
Applying acrylic-based paints over non-combustible compounds is not allowed!
Work procedure:The surface to be painted must be strong, dry, clean, and free of substances that prevent adhesion. The substrate temperature is from +5°C; the ambient temperature for applying the paint is from +10°C to +35°C; the relative air humidity is (65±5)%. During work, avoid exposure to direct sunlight, conditions of increased humidity, and contact with precipitation from the atmosphere.
It is recommended to use paint from the same production batch to avoid differences in the shade of the finish coat. Thoroughly mix the paint. Mix using a wide and flat paddle or a construction mixer at low speed, carefully, without allowing air bubbles to form, for 1−3 minutes. It is not recommended to mix the material by shaking a closed can.After transportation and/or active mixing, if air bubbles occur, the paint must stand until they disappear. Prevent dilution with water.
Apply the paint to a prepared, dry, clean surface with a brush, roller, or paint sprayer evenly in two coats. It is recommended not to make breaks when painting a continuous surface; at areas of “overlap,” use the “wet-on-wet” method. Finish the work along architectural boundaries (at the corners of the building, under rain gutters/downspouts, etc.).
For rough surfaces such as textured plasters, brick, concrete blocks, and embossed ceilings, it is recommended to use rollers with a pile length of 12−25 mm. For rough surfaces such as putties, plasters, concrete− with a pile length of 8−12 mm.
When carrying out work, avoid exposure to direct sunlight and conditions of high humidity.
Liquid potassium glass reacts chemically with glass, ceramics, glaze, metals, lacquer coatings, and so on. These surfaces and elements must be covered before painting.
In case of accidental splashing, immediately clean the paint with water.
After finishing the work, thoroughly wash hands and tools with warm water.
