From routine maintenance and emergency repairs to detailed work on a specialty system, stock your truck with these essentials. 

Whether it’s an emergency leak, detailing a silicone-coated roof or sealing penetrations in the rain, having the right repair materials in your truck makes all the difference. KARNAK has built its reputation on reliable, easy-to-use products that deliver lasting repairs. Here are three must-have solutions that should be stocked on every contractor’s truck: 

1 – 671 Karna-Seal: The go-to silicone sealant 

Only silicone sticks to silicone, and this single-component, moisture-curing silicone sealant is ready to use with no mixing. It brushes on easily and holds strong against UV rays, ponding water and extreme weather. 

Why keep it on hand? 

  • Compatible with existing silicone roof systems 
  • Works on horizontal and vertical surfaces without sagging 
  • Rain-safe in just one hour 
  • Long-term durability without chalking, cracking or hardening 
  • Bonds to multiple roof substrates for versatile use 

2 – 19 Ultra Rubberized Flashing Cement: Your emergency repair solution 

Formulated with rubber-reinforced asphalt, this heavy-duty trowel-grade flashing cement sticks the first time – even under water. Watch the video below to see how easy surface preparation and application of KARNAK 19 are on a roof surface. 

Why keep it on hand? 

  • Performs in wet or dry conditions, even during rain 
  • Rubberized strength that won’t shrink, crack or sag 
  • Excellent adhesion and flexibility in any season 
  • Smooth, easy-to-apply consistency 
  • Creates a tough, waterproof barrier for emergency fixes 

3 – 502MS Karna-Flex Sealant: All-around problem solver 

Versatile, tough and easy to apply, 502MS is your everyday repair workhorse. Available in both brush mastic and caulking cartridges, it bonds to nearly every roof substrate. 

Why keep it on hand? 

  • One-component, no-mix application 
  • Brush or caulk depending on the job 
  • Sticks to wet or dry surfaces 
  • Creates a flexible, weather-resistant seal that lasts 
  • Available in black, white or gray for a clean finish 

Every contractor knows the value of being prepared. Stocking your truck with KARNAK repair products means you’ll always have the right solution for the job. Explore the full line of repair products and deliver reliable, lasting repairs every time
