DYNA®OPTIMATRIX Polymeric Jointing Sand – 22.7kg/50lb

DYNA® 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 DYNA® 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 “zero dust” 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.

NOTE: DYNA recommends using the “Highly Water Resistant” DYNA® OPTIMAX Polymeric Jointing Sand for surfaces installed over concrete and for drainage and non-drainage bed installations, including false joints and heavily exposed water areas. Examples of this would include swimming pools or high-sloped areas.

FEATURES & 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 0°C (32°F).

– 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 2 mm (1/16”).
– Ideal for use on sloped pavement.
– Eliminates washouts of sand into pools.
– Ensures better stability of the installed pavers.
– Strongly inhibits weeds from growing.
– Adapts to paver movements in all weather conditions.

RECOMMENDED SURFACES

DYNA® OPTIMATRIX Polymeric Jointing Sand should be used to fill pavement joints of Concrete Pavers and Slabs, Natural Stone and Clay Pavers installed on horizontal surfaces such as driveways, patios, pool decks, walkways, and garden areas.
For deeply sloped areas, or for areas that are exposed to heavy traffic and heavy maintenance duties, we recommend that you use the DYNA® OPTIMAX Polymeric Jointing Sand.
