| USES Karna-Flex
502 Seam Sealer's elastomeric properties make it
an excellent sealant for prepared metal, concrete, spray polyurethane foam and plywood roof system details such
as: horizontal and vertical seams, bolt heads/fasteners and roof
protrusions.
Karna-Flex 502 Seam Sealer is not recommended for use
over asphaltic substrates. Contact Karnak Corporation for alternative
systems.
Proper substrate preparation is important to insure sealant performance.
See "Application Guidelines" or call Karnak Corporation
for details.
ADVANTAGES
- One component - no need to intermix with other materials.
- Easy application by brush, roller or spray.
- Superior film - forms a durable, weather resistant elastomeric
membrane.
- Has superior adhesive and cohesive strength.
- Low temperature flexibility - specially selected polymers and resins impart superior low temperature properties to the coating.
SURFACE PREPARATION All
surfaces to be coated must be clean, dry and free from oil, grease
and other foreign matter. Patch and repair all damaged areas with
Karna-Flex 502 Seam Sealer prior to the coating application.
APPLICATION Karna-Flex
502 Seam Sealer may be applied using a brush or bulk caulking gun. Mix lightly before use.
1. Apply a base coat of Karna-Flex 502 Seam Sealer. The Seam Sealer
is to be applied at 1/16" nominal thickness by 6"
width. (Approx. 50 lin. ft. per gallon).
2. With base coat of Karna-Flex 502 Seam Sealer still wet, completely
embed 4" Resat-Mat in the Seam Sealer. The Resat-Mat must be kept smooth. There can be no wrinkles, fish mouths,
or bridging of the mat. If these conditions exist, areas must
be cut and reinstalled.
3. Apply a final coat of Karna-Flex 502 Seam Sealer.
The final coat of Karna-Flex 502 Seam Sealer is
to be applied at 1/16" thickness (approx. 50 linear ft.
per gallon) to totally cover the Karnak Resat-Mat. Work should be free of pinholes or loose strands of mat.
No mat should be visible. Coverage rate will vary with substrate
geography. The application coverage is approximately 25 linear
ft. per gallon when applied 6" wide @ 1/8" total thickness.
4. All horizontal and vertical seams should be treated with Karna-Flex
502 Seam Sealer and Karnak Resat-Mat as described
in this section. All fasteners must be treated with a dollop (swirl coat) of Karna-Flex 502 Seam Sealer.
Allow to dry a minimum of 24 hours prior to the application
of the surface coating.

CAUTION Do
not apply when rain is imminent. Protect from freezing. Coating
must be dried before exposure to water. Store in a heated room and
keep container covered when not in use. Do not thin. Avoid prolonged
contact with skin. Dispose of in an environmentally safe manner.
COLD-PROCESS SYSTEMS AND COATINGS, EITHER EMULSION
OR SOLVENT BASED, SHOULD ONLY BE INSTALLED ON DECKS WITH POSITIVE
DRAINAGE.
PER NRCA, (NATIONAL ROOFING CONTRACTORS ASSOCIATION)
"THE CRITERIA FOR JUDGING PROPER SLOPE FOR DRAINAGE IS THAT
THERE BE NO EVIDENCE OF STANDING WATER ON THE DECK 48 HOURS AFTER
IT STOPS RAINING."
