DESCRIPTION

RESIBLOCK '22' matt paving sealant is a urethane based low viscosity prepolymer in Hydrocarbon solvents. Its function is to penetrate jointing sand and bind the particles together and to the sides of the pavers. RESIBLOCK '22's penetration comes about by solvent evaporation, and polymerisation is created by the atmospheric and residual moisture effecting the cure. The resulting effect is an in-situ bond and stabilisation of the pavement that retains its normal flexural properties. RESIBLOCK '22' matt paving sealant is manufactured under the jurisdiction of ISO 9001/2.

BENEFITS

  • Prevent sand being removed by vacuum sweepers.
  • Prevent loss of sand in areas liable to flood
  • Prevent sand loss by propeller wash and jet blast.
  • Prevent potential explosion hazard from fuel spillage's accumulating in the laying course.
  • Prevent blocks from spalling, cracking and settling by heavy traffic after use.
  • Greatly exceeds ASTM D 2370 (elongation test).
  • Prevent serious damage to bedding by freeze/thaw cycle. Prevents frost heave.
  • Prevent infiltration of water (a major cause of bedding sand liquefaction and degredation).
  • Retain characteristic flexibility of paving (Resiblock sealers are Elastomeric).
  • Strengthen pavement.
  • Unaffected by commercial de-icing salts.
  • Retain jointing sand to provide block interlock.
  • Suitable for areas that have severely channelised traffic.
  • Sealing of joints prevents cont
  • amination of groundwater by Hydrocarbons.
  • Unaffected by water or ice.
  • Reduce paver loosening and creep.
  • Reduce dusting of blocks.
  • Has the property of elasticity after polymerisation.
  • Maintains the sand in the joints even under high velocity water flows.
  • Prevents the ingress of chloride ions from de-icing salts
  • Will act as a surface sealant on most types of wet-cast paving (eg patio slabs).
  • Rapid drying characteristics, ensures rapid use of the facility.
  • Suitable for use on both concrete and clay pavers.
  • Can be used straight from the container without the addition of any reactive ingredients.
  • Allows easy removal of pavers for access to services.
  • Approved for use on petrol station forecourts and airfields.
One coat paving sealant. Matt finish. Concrete or clay. Protection assured.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

RESIBLOCK '22' is a urethane based low viscosity prepolymer jointing sand stabiliser of exceptional effectiveness. Its penetration comes about by solvent evaporation, polymerisation being effected by atmospheric moisture. It incorporates a completely unique moisture curing system eliminating the problems common to conventional water based and solvent acrylic systems. It’s function is to bind the particles of sand together and to the vertical faces of the paver. RESIBLOCK '22' is formulated for all flexibly laid paving.

FEATURES

Single component - fast cure, ensures rapid re-use of the facility
Penetration brought about by solvent evaporation
Polymerisation effected by atmospheric and residual moisture
Can be applied all year round (see application information).
Allows pavement to retain its normal flexural qualities
Manufactured under ISO 9002
Greatly exceeds ASTM D 2370 (elongation test) - fully elastomeric
Easy application by Resiblock Squeegee.
Proven to withstand temperature in excess of 200o C

High degree of resistance to commercial chemicals.

Unaffected by commercial de-icing salts

Can be easily removed so as to allow easy access to services below pavement.

STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY MAINTAINED TO PAVING

JOINTING SAND REMAINS IN PLACE UNDER THE MOST ARDUOUS CONDITIONS, INCLUDING HIGH VELOCITY WATER FLOWS, VACUUM SWEEPING AND JET-THRUST. RENDERS THE JOINTS TOTALLY IMPERMEABLE TO WATER AND HYDROCARBONS. PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH PAVER DESTABILISATION AND RUTTING VIRTUALLY ELIMINATED.

THE SYSTEM

Special Properties
Maintains performance life of pavement.
Yields significant whole life cost savings and reduces interim maintenance.
Satisfies requirements of Local Agenda 21.
Contributes to ‘Best Value’.
Fuses seamlessly to all Interfaces.
Virtually eliminates weed and grass growth in the joints.
Ideal for use with:-
  • CBP
  • Clay Pavers
  • Concrete Flags
  • Natural stone setts and flags

APPLICATION INFORMATION

1 Make sure the surface and jointing sand is THOROUGHLY DRY and free from dirt.
2 Ensure that RESIBLOCK '22' is only applied when there is no risk of rain within the next 8 hours.
3 Do not apply in extremes of temperature (below 3 deg C or above 30 deg C).
4 Ensure paving is thoroughly swept and that no jointing sand remains in the chamfers of the pavers.
5 Apply to surface using a watering can (with the rose) and remove all surplus with the RESIBLOCK SQUEEGEE.
6 Accurate application rates are critical to ensure full joint stabilisation (typically 1 litre/2m sq 100 x 200 CBP).
7 In aesthetically sensitive areas wet-cast paving slabs must be pre-treated with RESIBLOCK E.R. and allowed to thoroughly dry. Please contact our Technical Department re substrate drying times.
8 A MINIMUM of 3 hours and a MAXIMUM of 24 hours between the first and second coats. Two coats are recommended to prevent fuel/water infiltration. ONE COAT ONLY on clay pavers.
9 Avoid walking on the sealed area for 3 hours after application and do not drive motor vehicles on the surface for 24 hours.
10 ALWAYS WEAR PROTECTIVE GLOVES AND GOGGLES. NO SMOKING. WEAR A MASK WHEN WORKING IN CONFINED AREAS. Please refer to current MSDS.
11 All uncured spillages/splashes, and all tools must be cleaned immediately with RESICLEAN.

HEALTH & SAFETY

PLPVC gloves and protective clothing/face shield must be worn, plus use of a barrier cream on exposed areas of skin, as uncured RESIBLOCK '22' may be considered a hazardous material.

No smoking or naked flames to be allowed, as RESIBLOCK '22' is FLAMMABLE. Ensure area to be treated is well ventilated. If public access is allowed, erect NO SMOKING signs and site fire extinguishers

A mask of the recommended type is essential when using a paintbrush, working close to the surface or internally. Sabre or Martindale is recommended.

Do not apply RESIBLOCK '22' in the presence of foodstuffs. Once fully cured RESIBLOCK '22' can be considered innocuous. Do not clean hands with RESICLEAN as solvents may de-fat skin leading to dermatological problems.

Do not return unused material to original containers. DO NOT RESEAL or store partly used kegs. Material so stored may have poor adhesion, Carbon Dioxide may generate and put the drum under pressure, which might rupture the drum. Furthermore partial or total solidification of the sealant may occur.
