DESCRIPTION
Karnak #83AF Fibered Dampproofing is a solvent based asphalt compound, manufactured with selected asphalts, mineral fibers, stabilizers and mineral spirits. Karnak #83AF Fibered Dampproofing is prepared to semi-mastic consistency for easy application, by brush, spray or roller. This material is a multi purpose, cold applied protective dampproofing that dries to a tough, durable and flexible coating that gives excellent performance over a wide range of temperature and conditions. This product exhibits excellent resistance to acids and alkalies in the soils and in the environment.

 
 

USESKarnak #83AF Fibered Dampproofing is designed to dampproof masonry and concrete exterior surfaces below grade and interior surfaces above grade. This product is also suitable as a general protective coating for wood, steel and for all backup materials for masonry such as stone, brick and concrete.

SPECIFICATION

  • ASTM D-4479 Type I
  • SSA-694d

SURFACE PREPARATIONSurfaces must be clean, dry and free from oil, grease, release agents, laitance, dirt, dust and debris. All cracks and pin holes should be repaired and filled with Karnak #86AF Trowel Mastic prior to coating. If the surface is very porous, it is recommended that Karnak #108 Asphalt Primer be utilized to provide a firm film base prior to coating with Karnak #83AF Fibered Dampproofing.

APPLICATION

NOTE: Allow the film to cure for at least 24 to 48 hours prior to backfilling. Care should be taken during filling not to puncture or damage the coating.
