Uses

Mix lightly prior to application of the coating. KARNAK 404 Corrosion Proof may be applied by brush, spray equipment or roller. For applications in higher temperatures (above 90 °F) KARNAK recommends application in multiple thin coats to prevent trapped moisture problems. Commencement of work by the contractor implies his approval of the deck surface. SPRAY APPLICATION Utilize a standard paint spray pump or airless spray pump. Equipment manufacturer should be consulted for more complete information. Spray application should be done with a 50% over-spray pattern.

Surface Preparations

Safety & Health

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. Keep out of reach of children. Avoid prolonged contact with skin. Dispose of in an environmentally safe manner. Cover air intakes during application and while drying. For exterior use only. 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 a deck 48 hours after it stops raining.”
