UPDATEJune 29, 2015Make sure that you have an up-to-date technical data sheet in hand by consulting our website: techniseal.comCanada and U.S.A.: dial 1 800 465-7325Others: dial (514) 523-8324 (Canada)

APPLICATIONS• For pavers made of concrete, natural stone, etc.† • Light vehicular traffic areas such as small commercial parking lots, driveways, etc.• Normal to heavy pedestrian areas such as parks, walkways, terrases, patios, etc.• Areas with normal rainwater exposure

PROPERTIES• Water resistant after 90 minutes• For surfaces exposed to normal traffic• Inhibits weed growth• Deters ants and other insects• Eliminates joint erosion caused by rain, power washing, frost heaving and wind• Stabilizes pavers - follows movement• Applied dry - becomes permanent after being activated with water

DESCRIPTIONIssued from the latest generation of polymers, Techniseal® RG+ becomes water resistant quickly after activation. Designed to make joint stabilization easier than ever, RG+ polymeric jointing sand is a high-tech mix of graded sand (ASTM C-144) and binder, specially formulated for the filling of narrow or wide joints when installing† pavers, slabs or natural stones, or when replacing existing joints. It is ideal for surfaces exposed to light vehicular traffic, such as small commercial parking lots, driveways, terraces, backyards, garden paths, access roads, etc1. Easy to use, RG+ is applied dry; it starts to set a few minutes after wetting, quickly becoming resistant to erosion due to water (rain, splashes, sprinklers, etc.). Once dry and polymerized, Techniseal® RG+ polymeric sand also resists insect invasion and inhibits weed growth. Remaining flexible, it follows the movements of pavers or slabs.Minimum width: 3 mm (1/8”)Maximum width: 2.5 cm (1”); a larger joint width is acceptable where the pavers intersect.Joint depth: Fill paver joints completely. Minimum depth: 4 cm (1.5”).1 For highly-exposed surfaces such as public ways, sloped driveways and pool decks, we recommend the use of HP2 Polymeric sand (High-Performance formula).

† Use on pavers or slabs installed over a drainage bed (sand-set).

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.

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.
