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 particle board, gypsum plasterboard, plastered, previously painted surfaces (but not glossy), and wallpaper for painting
Tinting and Color Solutions
The paint is produced in two bases, A and C, and can be tinted by computer (machine) method into 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% of 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% of tinting pastes by weight of the paint. When painting in bright colors using Base C, it is recommended to first apply a layer of Base A paint tinted in a similar shade. Manual tinting using water-based tinting pastes is possible.
The organization performing the tinting is responsible for the tinting result.
Color Reproduction Features
Depending on the application conditions and the texture of the surface being painted, 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 compliance.
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 pre-mix materials from different batches in a 1:1 ratio; the application technology must remain unchanged.
Surface Preparation
Surface preparation should be carried out in accordance with SP 71.13330.2017.
Clean the surface from dust and dirt. Remove unstable 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, hollows, 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).
Application Conditions
The surface to be painted must be dry and clean, the substrate temperature for work must be 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 layer.
Material Preparation
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.
Application Technology
Apply the paint to the 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, glass fiber, and painting non-woven fabric — with a pile length of 8–12 mm. For smooth surfaces such as drywall, MDF, particle board, 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 saturated color and improve the appearance of the surface, two coats of paint must be applied.
Precautions
During work, avoid exposure to direct sunlight and high humidity conditions. Upon completion of work, wash hands and tools thoroughly with warm water.
Storage and Transportation Conditions
Store and transport in tightly closed containers at a temperature of at least +5°C and no more than +35°C. Five-fold freezing 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 heating and storage under direct sunlight should be avoided. Subject to the conditions, the guaranteed shelf life in closed factory packaging is 24 months from the date of manufacture.
During storage, product separation is possible, 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.
