DESCRIPTION
Karnak #502 RC-W Elasto-Kote is a highly elastic solvent based thermoplastic exterior waterproof coating. The coating has excellent color stability, weatherability and flexibility. Karnak #502 RC-W Elasto Kote has outstanding surface appearance and durability against salt spray, acid rain and ultra-violet sunlight.

 
 

USESKarnak #502 RC-W Elasto-Kote is intended for use on concrete block, brick, cinder block, concrete, stucco, steel, wood, galvanized metal and previously coated surfaces. Do not apply over asphaltic surfaces.

SURFACE PREPARATIONAllow fresh masonry to cure for 30 days before application of Karnak #502 RC-W Elasto-Kote. Surface to be coated should be clean, free from dirt, dust, grease, oil and loose paint. Patch and repair all cracks or holes with appropriate sealants or caulking materials.

APPLICATIONMix Karnak #502 RC-W Elasto-Kote thoroughly with a mechanical mixer prior to application of tile coating. Karnak #502 RC-W Elasto-Kote may be applied by brush, roller or spray application.

ROLLER APPLICATION: Roller application should be made in a two coat application so as to allow a total dry film thickness of a minimum of 16 mils.

BRUSH APPLICATION: When brushing, make sure Karnak #502 RC-W Elasto-Kote is not applied too thin, and brush out all overlap marks.

SPRAY APPLICATION: Spray in a cross hatch method so as to achieve a pinhole-free surface. Utilize a standard spray pump. Equipment manufacturer should be consulted for more complete information.

ARCHITECTURAL COLORSStandard colors are: White & Gray; Tan, Terra Cotta Red, and Patina Green are available for of 210 gallons or greater.

COVERAGE RATE Apply Karnak #502 RC-W Elasto-Kote Self-Priming Base Coat first at the rate of 1 to 1.5 gallons per 100 sq. ft. and allow to dry. Complete by applying #502 RC-W Elasto-Kote Finish Coat at the rate of 1 to 1.5 gallons per 100 sq.ft. Coverage rate will vary due to texture and porosity of the surface. Film thickness should be approximately 16-19 mils dry and 32-48 mils wet. Karnak #502 RC-W Elasto-Kote will take approximately 24 hours to cure.
