DIRECTIONSWear adequate protective clothing. To ensure the results will meet your expectations, always test the product on a small hidden area of approximately 4 sq. ft. (0.4 m2).Weather conditions: Use product under dry weather and when there is no rain forecasted for 90 minutes. Temperature should remain above 0°C (32°F) during the drying period.

1. Installation:Surface must be completely dry. Spread RG+ uniformly over the surface. Using a push broom, sweep the product so as to fill the joints completely, down to their full depth. Avoid sweeping the product over long distances, so that the integrity of polymeric joint is preserved.

2. Compaction:This step is essential to obtain solid, durable joints.Pass a plate vibrator over the entire surface to fully firm up the joints.Repeat steps 1 & 2 until joints are completely packed. Joints must be filled up to the bottom of the pavers chamfer, or at least up to 3 mm (1/8”) below the top of the pavers.

3. Wetting:Important: Sweep the surface with a fine bristle brush and remove all residue with a leaf blower. It will avoid having product residue activated with water and stick to the surface of the pavers or slabs. Surfaces must be free of the product. Since RG+ starts repelling water only a few minutes after it gets wet, it is essential to wet 20 m2 (200 sq. ft.) of surface at a time. Ensure that the wetting of one section is finished before another section is started. Wetting of the entire project should be done without interruptions 1. Define a 20 m2 (200 sq. ft.) section. 2. Set the spray nozzle to “shower”. 3. Start showering from the bottom of the slope. 4. Wet the section for 30 seconds without displacing the sand. 5. Wait a few seconds and wet the same section again for 30 more seconds to

wet the joints completely. In very hot conditions (above 30°C (85°F)), wet a third time for 30 seconds.

6. Move on to an adjacent 20 m2 (200 sq. ft.) section immediately. 7. As soon as wetting is completed on a 93 m2 (1000 sq. ft.) section, use a leaf blower to quickly blow the excess water off the surface. This will remove any remaining sand and polymer residue.Caution: foaming and run-off on the surface are caused by excessive watering; adjust spraying accordingly.

Drying: RG+ will become water resistant after 90 minutes* and should not be exposed to rain within that period. To ensure optimal cohesion and long-term stability, RG+ must dry completely after initial wetting. Drying time will be shorter if it is warm and dry, and longer if the climate is cool and damp. Temperature should remain above 0°C (32°F) during the entire drying process.

Fill up to the bottom of the pavers chamfer

20’

10’ Spray 200 sq. ft. of surface at a time.

Down time before using:• Pedestrian areas: no specific considerations• Motor-vehicle areas: 24 to 48 hoursTo preserve the appearance and the integrity of pavers installed with Techniseal® polymeric jointing sand, it is advisable to treat the surface with a Techniseal® protective product. Wait 30 days after installation before treatment.*At 24°C (75°F); drying may take longer at a colder temperature.

IMPORTANTDo not apply to wet or damp surfaces as the activation of the binder will make Techniseal® polymeric sand stick to the surface and prevent it from flowing down into joints. Do not start RG+ installation if rain is forecasted for the next 90 minutes. Do not mix polymeric sand with cement or sand. Avoid excessive wetting or flooding of paved areas during installation. Not for use on submerged or constantly wet surfaces. Do not use as a substitute for mortar (e.g. paving stones installed over a concrete bedding). Use on pavers or slabs installed over a drainage bed (sand-set).

COVERAGE22.7 kg (50 lb.) cover 6 to 7 m2 (60 to 75 sq. ft.) with narrow joints, or 2.3 to 4 m2 (25 to 40 sq. ft.) with wide joints. Required quantity will depend on the shape and size of the pavers or slabs, and on the width of joints.

STORAGEStore product in its original packaging, in a dry place and away from U.V. rays. Bags may be stored outside if they are properly protected with an opaque and waterproof tarp.
