The paint is intended for painting walls and ceilings indoors with normal and high humidity (kitchens, bathrooms, corridors, etc.)
The paint can be applied to concrete, brick, fiberboard and chipboard panels, plasterboard, plastered, previously painted surfaces (but not glossy), and paintable wallpaper.
Tinting and color solutions
The paint is produced in two bases, A and C, and can be tinted using a computer (machine) method into colors from RAL, NCS, and other color catalogs. Base A is intended for tinting into light and pastel shades and can also be used as white paint; it is permissible to add up to 5% tinting pastes by weight of the paint.
Base C is used only in tinted form and is intended for tinting into saturated shades; it is permissible to add up to 10% tinting pastes by weight of the paint. When painting in bright colors using base C, it is recommended to first apply a coat of base A paint tinted to a similar shade. Manual tinting using water-based tinting pastes is possible.
The organization performing the tinting is responsible for the result.
Color rendering features
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, it is necessary to 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.
Surface preparation
Surface preparation must be carried out in accordance with SP 71.13330.2017.
Clean the surface of dust and dirt. On previously painted surfaces, remove loose layers of old paint and whitewash. Sand hard and firmly adhering glossy surfaces to a matte state and remove sanding dust. Level out irregularities, depressions, cracks, and chips with Bergauf UNI PASTA water-dispersion putty and sand them down.
Surfaces previously covered with chalk or lime paints must be thoroughly cleaned until completely removed. Intensely absorbent surfaces should be primed beforehand to increase the reliability of the coating and reduce paint consumption.
It is recommended to use primers from the Praktik line (depending on the type of surface).
Work conditions
The surface to be painted must be dry and clean; the surface temperature for work must be from +5°C, the room temperature during paint application must be from +5°C to +35°C, and the relative air humidity must be below 80%.
It is recommended to use paint from the same production batch to avoid differences in the shade of the final coat.
Material preparation
Mix the paint thoroughly. It must be stirred with a wide, flat stick or a construction mixer at low speeds, carefully, without allowing air bubbles to form, for 1–3 minutes. It is not recommended to mix the material by shaking the closed can. After transportation and/or active mixing, if air bubbles occur, the paint needs to settle until they disappear.
Application technology
Apply the paint to a prepared, dry, clean surface with a brush, roller, or spray gun. 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, glass fiber, and painting fleece, use a pile length of 8–12 mm. For smooth surfaces such as plasterboard, MDF, chipboard, and architectural decor elements (architraves, moldings, ceiling cornices), use a pile length of up to 6 mm.
The paint is ready for use; for application with a brush or roller, it can be diluted with water by no more than 5% if necessary. For airless spraying, dilution with water by 5–10% is allowed, nozzle 0.013–0.015″, pressure 180–190 bar. The spray angle is chosen based on the area and geometric features of the surface being painted.
To obtain a saturated color and improve the appearance of the surface, two coats of paint must be applied.
Precautions
When working, avoid exposure to direct sunlight and high humidity conditions. After finishing work, wash hands and tools thoroughly with warm water.
Storage and transportation conditions
Store and transport in a tightly closed container at a temperature of at least +5°C and no more than +35°C. Freezing up to five times is allowed for a total duration of no more than 2 weeks at a temperature not lower than -40°C.
The bucket with the product should be protected from excessive heat and stored away from direct sunlight. If conditions are met, the warranty storage period in the original sealed packaging is 24 months from the date of manufacture.
During storage, the product may separate, which is easily corrected by stirring. Keep the partially used product in a tightly closed container and use it as soon as possible.
Safety
The product is fire and explosion-proof and does not contain flammable components.
