KARNAK 169 Non-Fibered Aluminum Roof Coating is a formulation of selected asphalts, refined solvents and fine aluminum flakes. When the coating is applied to the roof, the aluminum flakes leaf in over lapping parallel layers, forming a reflective, metallic shield over the base material. The combination of these two protective materials, aluminum and asphalt, by the exclusive KARNAK process results in a self-protecting roof coating with longer-lasting moisture and heat-resistant properties. KARNAK 169 Non-Fibered Aluminum Roof Coating remains permanently bonded to the base material, thus assuring longer roof life with subsequent savings on roof maintenance.
The asphaltic oils in the base coating are protected from the intense rays of the sun by the reflective properties of the aluminum. Most of the sun’s rays are reflected by this aluminum shield, thereby preventing these oils from being “cooked” out of the base coating. The coating, therefore, retains its resilient characteristics and will not prematurely crack or dry out. During the hot summer months, KARNAK 169 Non-Fibered Aluminum Roof Coating will help reduce indoor building temperatures and improve inside living and working conditions. KARNAK 169 Non-Fibered Aluminum Roof Coating prevents the sun’s rays from penetrating the roof coating and passing the heat into the building interior.
