Work at temperatures not lower than +5°C.
1. Shake the colorant paste thoroughly for 10−15 seconds before use.
2. To obtain a uniformly colored paint material, add the required portion of paste to a small amount of the paint material and mix thoroughly, then add the resulting mixture to the rest of the paint material while stirring constantly and mix again until a mass of uniform color is obtained.
3. Universal colorant pastes are added to ready-to-use paint materials in an amount not exceeding 5% of the weight of the paint material, and to base paints (Base C) — no more than 10%.
4. When tinting materials, it is necessary to perform a test application beforehand to confirm the color. The shade of the tinted material may vary depending on the quality and type of material used.
5. When painting a large surface area, it is necessary to tint the entire required volume of the paint and varnish material (PVM) at once to avoid color variations.
6. Clean tools and containers with water immediately after work. Color scales may vary in shades depending on the product to which the colorant is added (refer to Bergauf color charts for details).
Do not use for formulations based on natural oils and waxes.
Do not use as a standalone coloring agent.
Store the paste in a tightly closed container in a dry room away from heating appliances and direct sunlight, at a temperature not lower than +5°C in a place inaccessible to children.
