Surface preparation:Prepare the substrate 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.
- Hard and firmly adhering glossy surfaces should be sanded to a matte state, and sanding dust must be removed.
- Level out 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 Bergauf Techno Primer, as well as putties.
- 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%.
- The paint should not be mixed with organic solvents.
- It is recommended to use paint from the same production batch to avoid color variation in the finish layer.
Stir the paint thoroughly. Stirring should be done with a wide and 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 occur, the paint needs to settle until they disappear. 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 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 obtain a rich color and improve the appearance of the surface, two coats of paint must be applied. During work, avoid exposure to direct sunlight and high humidity conditions. Upon completion of work, wash hands and tools thoroughly with warm water.
