Karnak 97AF Fibered Aluminum Roof Coating, Reflective Silver, 1 gal Can
Karnak 97AF Fibered Aluminum Roof Coating is a heavy-duty blend of selected asphalts, pure aluminum pigment flakes, refined solvents and reinforcing fibers, supplied in a 1-gallon can. The aluminum flakes leaf to the surface to reflect over 50% of the sun's rays, protecting the membrane and helping reduce indoor temperatures. One coat extends the life of modified bitumen membranes.
Key Features:
- Reflective Leafing: Aluminum flakes leaf to the surface, creating a metallic shield that reflects over 50% of the sun's rays.
- UL Class A Rated: U.L. Class A rated over specified modified bitumen systems, UL Listing #Rl2l99 (N).
- Cools Buildings: Reflecting the sun's rays and lowering roof surface temperatures helps improve indoor conditions in summer.
- Won't Crack Out: The coating retains its resilient characteristics and will not prematurely crack or dry out.
- Membrane Life Extender: One coat extends the life of modified bitumen membrane with high aluminum content and excellent reflectivity.
- Small Can Size: 1-gallon can is convenient for detail areas, repairs, and touch-up work.

Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
The 1-gallon can is ideal for flashings, patches, and small reflective repairs, while larger pails suit full roof field coats. Stir thoroughly so the aluminum flakes leaf uniformly at the surface, and confirm your modified bitumen system is among the specified systems behind the U.L. Class A rating. Apply one coat per directions to refresh reflectivity and slow solar aging of the membrane.
This solvent-based coating is flammable with strong vapors; keep away from ignition sources and follow the safety data sheet during application.
