Karnak 220 Fibered Emulsion Dampproofing Coating, Black, 5 Gallon Pail
Karnak 220 Fibered Emulsion is a general-purpose dampproofing coating made with refined asphalt, clay emulsifiers and selected fibers, sold as a black 5-gallon pail. The dried film cures to a tough, flexible, durable finish that resists temperature and weather variations. It is applied as a protective coating on below-grade and general-purpose surfaces.
Key Features:
- Fibered formula: Manufactured with refined asphalt, clay emulsifiers and selected fibers for a durable film.
- Tough cured film: The dried film cures to a tough, flexible, durable finish.
- Weather resistant: The cured coating resists variations in temperature and weather.
- Moisture resistance: The low-odor coating resists the absorption of exterior moisture.
- Non-combustible liquid: Will not burn or support combustion in a liquid state.
- Damp-surface application: May be applied to slightly damp surfaces.

Coverage & How Much You Need:
Coverage per 5-gallon pail depends on surface texture and application rate; the sources do not state a coverage figure, so size the job from the project specification or by calculating surface area against the specified mil thickness.
Fit and Compatibility:
Karnak 220 is a general-purpose dampproofing coating for use where a fibered asphalt emulsion is specified. It is not a PMMA or elastomeric roof coating, so match it to assemblies that call for an asphalt emulsion damp-proofing product.

Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Karnak 220 is a workhorse fibered emulsion for dampproofing where a tough, flexible asphalt film is needed, and its ability to go over slightly damp surfaces makes it practical on tight schedules. Stir thoroughly before use and confirm the specified dry film thickness for accurate pail counts. Choose a solvent-based or elastomeric coating instead where a higher-build or reflective finish is required.
Asphalt coatings should be applied with gloves and eye protection and with adequate ventilation; review the product safety data sheet before use.
