| USES Karnak
505 Elasto Brite-M Seam Sealer's elastomeric properties make it
an excellent sealant for prepared metal roof system details such
as: horizontal and vertical seams, bolt heads/fasteners and roof
protrusions.
Karnak 505 Elasto Brite-M 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
- Complies with all V.O.C. requirements and regulations.
- Water-borne, non-flammable, odorless and non toxic.
- One component - no need to intermix with other materials.
- Easy application by brush, roller or spray.
- Easy clean-up with water prior to curing.
- Superior film - forms a durable, weather resistant elastomeric
membrane.
- Has superior adhesive and cohesive strength.
- Fungistatic - formulated for most advanced, state-of-the-art
resistance to mold or mildew growth.
- Low temperature flexibility - specially selected internally
plasticized polymers impart superior low temperature proper -
ties 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
Karnak 505 Elasto Brite-M Seam Sealer or appropriate materials prior to the coating application.
In all cases, Karnak 505P Rust Inhibitor Primer must be applied
at the minimum rate of 1/2 gallon per 100 sq. ft. prior to the application
of Karnak 505 Elasto Brite-M Seam Seale.
Allow Karnak 505P Rust Inhibitor Primer to dry thoroughly prior
to application of sealant (approx. 2 to 4 hours).
APPLICATION Karnak
505 Elasto Brite-M Seam Sealer may be applied using a brush or
roller. Mix before use.
A. Prime entire roof area with Karnak 505P Rust Inhibitor Primer
at 1/2 gallon per 100 sq. ft. (allow to dry).
B. Application at Seams Karnak 505 Elasto Brite-M Seam Sealer
and Resat- Mat are applied in three steps:
- Apply a base coat of Karnak 505 Seam Sealer. The Seam Sealer
is to be applied at 1/16" nominal thickness by 6"
width. (Approx. 50 lin. ft. per gallon).
- With base coat of Karnak 505 Seam Sealer still wet, completely
embed 4" Resat-Mat in the Seam Sealer. 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.
- Apply a final coat of Karnak 505 Elasto Brite-M Seam Sealer.
The final coat of Karnak 505 Elasto Brite-M Seam Sealer is
to be applied at 1/16" thickness (approx. 50 linear ft.
per gallon) to totally cover the Karnak #505 Elasto Brite-M
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.
- All horizontal and vertical seams should be treated with Karnak
505 Seam Sealer and Karnak Resat-Mat as described
in this section. All fasteners must be treated with a dollop (Swirl Coat) of Karnak 505
Elasto Brite-M Seam Sealer. Allow to dry a minimum of 48 hours prior to the application
of the surface coating.

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."
