Description
GATOR MAXX SAND is a unique mixture of polymer binders and calibrated sand available in Beige and Slate Grey. The installation of the polymeric sand GATOR MAXX SAND is almost identical to using regular paver joint sand except for the application of water. Once GATOR MAXX SAND sets, it becomes very firm and locks between the paver joints while still retaining flexibility and providing a long lasting, durable jointing material. GATOR MAXX SAND is recommended for a variety of uses including pool decks, patios, footpaths, driveways, parking spaces, pavements, etc. Offered in USA Only.
IDEAL FOR:
- Concrete pavers, natural stone, wet cast products and clay pavers
- Residential and commercial use
- Streetscape, commercial work, steep slope, pool areas, patios, walkways, driveways and parking areas
- Traditional applications and overlay applications
FEATURES & BENEFITS:
- Advanced Haze Free Technology
- Can be used for joints up to a maximum of 2 inches (5 cm)
- For overlay, traditional, residential and commercial applications
- For Traditional application, rain safe 1 hour after water activation
- For Overlay application, rain safe 24 hours after water activation
- ASTM C-144 gradation allows use in even the tightest joints
- OSHA silica crystalline compliant (OSHA 29 CFR 1926.1153)
- Can be used on false joint pavers
- Works above 32°F (0°C)
- Ideal for Gator Base panels
- Waterproof bags: Lay bag flat on its back, so front of the bag is facing you
IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTES:
- Always refer to the latest GATOR MAXX SAND Technical Data Sheet (TDS) at AllianceGator.com before installing GATOR MAXX SAND.
- Pavers and slabs must be installed according to ICPI Tech Spec #2 traditional application (www.icpi.org) before GATOR MAXX SAND installation. For Overlays ICPI recommends 2″ (5 cm) diameter drainage holes spaced approximately 10 ft (3 m) apart and at the lowest elevations in the slab. Holes should be filled with #8 stone and covered with a 1 foot x 1 foot (30 cm x 30 cm) patch of Gator Fabric GF4.4. Drilled holes should allow any water entering the bedding layer to freely flow out.
- Pavers’ sides and top surfaces must be completely dry. Do not apply if the paver surface is damp or wet. The damp or wet surface will cause GATOR MAXX SAND to prematurely activate and will lead to the polymers sticking on the paver surface.
- Do not apply if the paver joints are damp or wet. This will prevent the GATOR MAXX SAND from properly sliding into the joints and obtaining very densely packed joints, which is critical to the products performance.
- Temperature must be above 32°F (0°C) with dry conditions (no rain for at least 1 hour) after installing GATOR MAXX SAND in a traditional application and (no rain for at least 24 hours) in overlay application.
- For all paver surfaces, and particularly around in-ground pools there must be a slope of 1/8 inch (3 mm) per linear foot away from the edge of the pool, or structures to ensure optimal performance of the GATOR MAXX SAND.
- For the pool coping units it is mandatory to use mortar in the joints. For the rest of the paver installation around the pool, you can use GATOR MAXX SAND.
- Do not sweep GATOR MAXX SAND over asphalt.
- GATOR MAXX SAND level, must be at least 1/8 inch (3 mm) below top of paver’s surface or 1/8 inch (3 mm) below the chamfer or erosion may occur. The filled and cured polymeric sand joints should never be in direct contact with foot traffic or tires.
- For textured or pre-finished surfaces, we recommend to remove all the sand from the paver or slab surface prior to using the plate or roller compactor.
