SCOPE OF APPLICATION
Used for exterior and interior work in areas with normal and high humidity. Applied to concrete, reinforced concrete, brick, gypsum, cement, lime, and cement-lime plasters, drywall, chipboard, fiberboard, as well as firmly adhering surfaces previously painted with water-dispersion paints. Suitable for manual and machine application.
Allowed for use in buildings and structures of types:
Type A — residential buildings and dormitories; buildings and premises of organizations for education and training, recreation and health improvement of children and youth; healthcare organizations; homes for the disabled and elderly; sanatoriums; holiday homes; indoor sports facilities; office premises with permanent human presence in management buildings at industrial enterprises and other facilities
types B, C.
Type B — food industry enterprises, trade and catering facilities; hotels; industrial goods stores; communication enterprises; consumer service enterprises; cultural and entertainment facilities and other objects; administrative buildings.
Type C — industrial enterprises, auxiliary and utility rooms and structures; warehouses; garages.

Tinting
Decorative plaster is produced as a base and can be tinted using a computer (machine) method into colors from RAL, NCS, and other color catalogs. Manual tinting is possible using water-based tinting pastes that have high light and weather resistance.
It is recommended to add no more than 5% of the colorant, as overdosing it negatively affects the strength and application properties of the coating.
The organization performing the tinting is responsible for the tinting result.
Depending on the application conditions and the texture of the surface being painted, the actual color shades may differ slightly from those presented in the color catalog.
Before use, perform a test application and check the dried coating for color matching.
To avoid differences in shade, it is recommended to use a product from the same production batch on one visual plane (the batch number is indicated on each package) or to pre-mix materials from different batches in a 1:1 ratio; the application technology must remain unchanged.
The use of intense or dark-colored materials with a reflection coefficient of less than 25% on facades should be limited to small surfaces occupying no more than 10% of the facade, for example, individual architectural details.

SURFACE PREPARATION
The substrate must comply with the requirements of SP 71.13330.2017.
Concrete, reinforced concrete, cellular concrete – age over 3 months and relative humidity no more than 4%;
Cement-sand, cement-lime plasters – age 28 days and relative humidity no more than 4%;
BERGAUF ISOFIX, BAU PUTZ ZEMENT, UNTER BAU, GLATTE ZEMENT, FINISH ZEMENT – age over 3 days and relative humidity no more than 6%;
Sheet gypsum, cement, wood-based materials, as well as gypsum plasters – thickness at least 10 mm, relative humidity no more than 1%.
To obtain an ideal decorative effect, the deviation of the base flatness when checked with a two-meter straightedge should not exceed the size of the fraction used in the product.
Before application, clean the surface of dirt and dust, peeling old coatings, and oil stains – everything that may impair the adhesion of the material to the base. Damaged old coatings must be removed. It is recommended to fill large cracks with a plaster compound (for example, BERGAUF BAU PUTZ ZEMENT) one day before the main plastering. Sheet materials must be firmly fixed with an increased fastening coefficient of 1.2.
To improve adhesion, reduce gaps, and enhance the quality of the decorative plaster pattern, the surface should be pre-treated with Bergauf TechnoPrimer and/or Bergauf Techno Primer Paint and allowed to dry for 4 hours. If necessary, the primer paint should be tinted to match the color of the subsequent coating.

PROCEDURE
Before application, the plaster must be thoroughly mixed, as product separation may occur during storage. Diluting the plaster with water is permitted, up to a maximum of 5% by weight of the material.
Apply the plaster using a trowel, spatula, textured roller, or other tool that allows for creating the desired decorative effects. After complete drying, the coating can be well polished with a spatula or trowel. To achieve a higher gloss, you can use a sanding machine and/or a protective wax emulsion; for additional surface tinting, use a glazing compound.
To create the "World Map" effect, use rollers with a pile of 12-15 mm, a metal spatula, and a Venetian trowel/plastering trowel.

It is recommended to apply in 3 stages: 
1. Load the material generously onto the roller and apply it to the base in a 2 mm layer. Then, distribute the material evenly over the surface.
2. Using the same roller, create a "Shagreen" relief by moving it up and down several times. Wait for it to dry completely - 24 hours.
3. After the "Shagreen" relief has dried, apply the material generously to the entire surface of the trowel using a spatula and form peaks in the shape of shagreen by patting the surface of the trowel. Next, imprint the trowel with the shagreen onto the first layer of the "Shagreen" relief, remove the excess material from the trowel with a spatula, and use the edge of the trowel at a 40-degree angle to level the material with chaotic movements, creating a "World Map" pattern with smoothed islands and shagreen in between. Repeat these movements until the entire area is covered. Wait for it to dry completely - 24 hours.
If there are large burrs on the surface after it has completely dried, and they interfere with tactile perception, you can treat them with sandpaper with an abrasive of no more than 180P. Then, it is mandatory to cover the surface with a protective varnish for water-dispersion coatings to protect the coating after sanding. After the varnish dries, the surface will even out into a uniform color.
If it is necessary to stop work at the boundary of the plaster layer, apply masking tape, which must be removed before the plaster hardens.

At an ambient temperature below +20°C and a relative humidity above 60%, the decorative plaster should be protected from direct sunlight, wind, and rain for the first 3 days after application. Under such conditions, it is recommended to cover the scaffolding with a special mesh or film and install water drainage systems on the building. Do not allow freezing or drying out.
Interior finishing should be carried out only in well-ventilated rooms, and after the work is completed, air circulation should be maintained until the coating is completely dry.
Clean tools with water immediately after use. If the tools were not cleaned immediately, they can only be cleaned mechanically later.

It is forbidden to work during precipitation, fog, or on wet surfaces after rain, and at temperatures below +5°C and above +30°C.  

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Work should be carried out using personal protective equipment for hands, eyes, and respiratory tract. Use in well-ventilated areas.

STORAGE AND TRANSPORTATION
Store and transport in a tightly closed container at temperatures from +5°C to +30°C. Five-fold freezing with a total duration of no more than 2 weeks at temperatures not lower than –40°C is permitted. The product bucket should be protected from excessive heat and stored away from direct sunlight. If conditions are met, the guaranteed shelf life in the original sealed packaging is 24 months from the date of manufacture. The product is fire and explosion-proof and does not contain flammable components.

DISPOSAL
Do not pour into sewage systems, water bodies, or onto the soil. Dispose of dry empty containers at a landfill; liquid residues should be taken to hazardous waste collection points.
