Jointing Sand

Description

OPTIMATRIX Polymeric Jointing Sand is a dry mixture of calibrated sands, polymers, binders

and dedicated chemical controlling agents specifically designed to bind firmly and easily

together in horizontal pavement joints. Applied dry into the pavement joints, it will harden and

stay in place after activation. It sets in minutes after being activated with water, which ensures a

proper installation even when the weather calls for early rain. Carefully blended with dedicated

control agents, the quality of OPTIMATRIX Polymeric Jointing Sand ensures increased stability,

performance and lasting durability to your paver projects. OPTIMATRIX Polymeric Jointing

Sand retains adequate elasticity needed to adapt to the movements of the pavement surface. It

is resistant to erosion due to weather, maintenance, and traffic. It features EZ Sweep technology

to ensure no haze is produced on your pavement surface and that the sand is more easily swept

in, saving you both time and money in the process. Unlike conventional polymeric sand that

requires 3 wetting applications, OPTIMATRIX requires a single wetting, saving you further time.

Uses and Advantages

• Quick-setting. Sets up in minutes upon activation. No need to worry about early rain

washout.

• Low temperature setting. Sets at temperatures at or above 32°F (0°C).

• Incorporates EZ Sweep technology which eliminates haze on the pavement surface and

makes it quicker and easier to sweep.

• Single wetting activation, saves time and money.

• Excellent for exterior/interior applications.

• For residential and commercial installations.

• Suitable for both pedestrian and vehicular traffic.

• Contrary to regular sands, it stays firm, flexible and perfectly in place after wetting & curing.

• Ideal for most pavement joints greater than 1/16” (2 mm).

• Ideal for use on sloped pavement.

• Eliminates washouts of sand into pools.

HARDSCAPE Jointing Sand Activating the Jointing Sand 1. Work in sections of about 10 m2 (100 ft2). 2. Use a water hose equipped with a fan shower head working at low to medium pressure. 3. Starting at the highest elevation of your surface, position the shower head at 2 to 3 ft (.6 to 1 m) from the surface and shower the surface in a sweeping movement from left to right. Clean the surface rapidly while allowing the water to slowly migrate, absorb and channel into the joints.
