ROMPOX®-EASY Jointing Material
Product information
ROMPOX® — EASY is a highly water permeable pavement fixing mortar that allows almost all quantities of rainwater to seep into the ground. Due to the open porous structure of ROMPOX® — EASY, all the requirements for a water permeable and thus environmentally friendly pavement fixing mortar are fulfilled.
It is ideally for:
frost and de-icing salt resistant, weed free, abrasion resistant, environmentally friendly, quick, cost effective and permanent joint fixing of almost all natural and concrete paving stones, slabs and clinker surfaces.
Properties of ROMPOX® — EASY:
- for pedestrian traffic
- highly water permeable
- for joint widths from 5 mm wide
- for joint depths from 30 mm deep
- 1 component polymer based
- ready to use and vacuum-packed
- suitable for DIY use
- can be applied to ground temperatures of >0oC
Instructions for use:
1 — clean out joints to a depth of at least 30 mm (minimum joint width 5 mm). The surface to be joint-fixed should be cleaned of all impurities before work commences. Adjoining surfaces that are not to be joint-fixed are taped off.
2,3 — remove plastic vacuum-sealed bag from the bucket and cut open.
4,5 – pour the pavement fixing mortar onto the surface and work it hard and compactly into the joints using a coarse broom or squeegee/rubber slider.
6 — finally, sweep the stone surface carefully using a soft, hair broom to remove all residual mortar. Sweeping should be done diagonally to the joint. Do not re-use swept off material. A subsequent application is not necessary. Any residual mortar on the stone surface can still be swept off 24 hours later using a coarse, street broom.
7-9 – just now cleaned surface should be defended from rain during 12 – 24 hours. This time protective material can not be laid direct on the surface because air should be circulated over the surface. As so protection protective mat RONPOX-PFLASTERFLÄCHENSCHUTZMATTE is offered which without problems can be laid on the surface.
At first on the surface is remained thin film of epoxy resin, which makes stone colour more intense and defends from dirtying. This film disappears after a time on influence of weather conditions and by abrasion.
Application data:
* application time: approx. 20-30 minutes at +20oC working temperature
* surface temperature: > 0°C
* at lower temperatures slow hardening
* at high temperatures quick hardening
* surface can be walked on after 24 hours, final re-opening — after 6 days (at approx. 20oC * surface temperature)
