| USES Karnak
#501 Elasto-Brite is intended for use on asphalt roofs and primed above grade vertical surfaces
such as concrete block, brick, cinderblock, stucco, wood and previously
coated surfaces. Not for use direcly over APP modified bitumen membrane roof systems. Consult with Karnak Technical Services for coating APP membranes.
SURFACE PREPARATION Allow
fresh masonry to cure for a minimum of 30 days before application
of Karnak #501 Elasto-Brite. Surface to be coated should be clean,
free from dirt, dust, grease, oil and loose paint. Patch and repair
cracks or holes with appropriate sealants or caulking materials.
All porous surfaces should be primed with Karnak #505P Primer
prior to the application of Karnak #501 Elasto-Brite.
APPLICATION Mix
thoroughly with a mechanical mixer prior to application of the coating.
Karnak #501 Elasto-Brite may be applied by brush, spray equipment
or roller. In most applications, use Karnak #505P Primer before the application
of Karnak #501 Elasto-Brite to ensure proper bonding of the coating
to the substrate.
SPRAY APPLICATION:
Utilize a standard paint spray pump. Equipment manufacturer
should be consulted for more complete information.
BRUSH/ROLLER APPLICATION:
Brush/roller application should be made in a two coat application,
with the second coat applied perpendicular to the first.
ARCHITECTURAL COLORS White,
Gray, Tan, Patina Green and Terra Cotta Red are standard colors.
COVERAGE RATE Karnak
#505P Primer should be applied at the rate of 0.5 to 1
gallon per 100 sq. ft.. Karnak #501 Elasto-Brite coverage rate will
vary depending upon the surface to be coated. The total rate of
coverage should be 2-3 gallons per 100 sq. ft. applied in two
applications (1-1.5 gallons per 100 sq.ft. per application) to achieve a dry film
thickness of 16 to 24 mils.
CARE OF TOOLS While
material is still wet, tools may be cleaned with water. Dry coating
can be cleaned with mineral spirits or similar solvent taking the necessary precautions when
handling flammable materials.

NO EVIDENCE OF STANDING WATER ON THE DECK 48 HOURS AFTER IT STOPS
RAINING."
