The paint is intended for painting walls and ceilings indoors in rooms with normal and high humidity (kitchens, bathrooms, corridors, etc.)
The paint can be applied to concrete, brick, fiberboard and particleboard, gypsum plasterboard, plastered, previously painted surfaces (but not glossy ones), 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 RAL, NCS, and other color catalogs. Base A is intended for tinting into light and pastel shades; it can also be used as a white paint, and 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 tinting result.
Color rendering features
Depending on the application conditions, as well as the texture of the surface being painted, actual color shades may differ slightly from those presented in the color catalog. Before application, 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 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.
Substrate preparation
Substrate preparation should be carried out in accordance with SP 71.13330.2017.
Clean the substrate from dust and dirt. Remove loose layers of old paint and whitewash from previously painted surfaces. Sand hard and firmly adhering glossy surfaces to a matte state, and remove sanding dust. Level irregularities, depressions, cracks, and chips with Bergauf UNI PASTA water-dispersion putty, then sand.
Surfaces previously covered with chalk or lime paints must be thoroughly cleaned until completely removed. Intensively absorbing surfaces should be pre-primed to increase coating reliability and reduce paint consumption.
It is recommended to use primers from the Praktik line (depending on the type of substrate).
Working conditions
The surface to be painted must be dry and clean, the substrate temperature for performing work from +5°C, the room temperature during paint application from +5°C to +35°C, and relative air humidity below 80%.
It is recommended to use paint from the same production batch to avoid differences in the shade of the finish coat.
Material preparation
Stir the paint thoroughly. Stirring should be done with a wide, flat slat or a construction mixer at low speeds, carefully, avoiding the formation of air bubbles, for 1–3 minutes. It is not recommended to mix the material by shaking the closed can. After transportation and/or active stirring, if air bubbles appear, the paint needs to settle until they disappear.
Application technology
Apply the paint to a prepared, dry, clean surface using a brush, roller, or spray gun. For rough surfaces such as textured plasters, brick, concrete blocks, and relief ceilings, it is recommended to use rollers with a pile length of 12–25 mm. For coarse surfaces such as putties, plasters, concrete, fiberglass, and painting non-woven wallpaper — with a pile length of 8–12 mm. For smooth surfaces such as drywall, MDF, chipboard, and architectural decor elements (casings, moldings, ceiling cornices) — with a pile length of up to 6 mm.
The paint is ready for use; for application by 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 achieve a rich color and improve the appearance of the surface, it is necessary to apply two coats of paint.
Precautions
Avoid exposure to direct sunlight and high humidity conditions during work. Upon completion of work, wash hands and tools thoroughly with warm water.
Storage and transportation conditions
Store and transport in tightly closed containers at temperatures between +5°C and +35°C. Up to five freeze-thaw cycles are permitted for a total duration of no more than 2 weeks at temperatures no lower than -40°C.
The bucket containing the product should be protected from excessive heat and storage under direct sunlight should be avoided. Subject to storage conditions, the guaranteed shelf life in closed original packaging is 24 months from the date of manufacture.
During storage, product separation may occur, which is easily eliminated by stirring. Keep partially used product in a tightly closed container and use as soon as possible.
Safety
The product is fire and explosion safe, and does not contain flammable components.
