1 hr confidence:

retains trowel patterns

Explanation:
Here are two websites for BONA® D720 Kleber. The first is a German site, the second an English site, both with the same product.

Do a search for "Rippenstand" on the German site - then you can compare the German to English text. This is a longshot as I haven't been able to find much on what Rippenstand means.

Good luck!
