For joints up to 2” (5 cm) in traditional applications
NO DUST • HAZE FREE • NO BLOWER • ONE WATERING
RAIN SAFE IN 15 MINUTES
FLEXLOCK SAND G2 is made with a state-of-the-art manufacturing process. Specifically, calibrated sand is mixed with sophisticated intelligent polymers. This new generation of Intelligent Polymers neutralizes haze and dust. No blower needed and the intelligent polymeric sand requires only one watering. FLEXLOCK SAND G2 is recommended for a variety of uses including pool decks, patios, footpaths, driveways, parking spaces, pavements, etc. Available in Beige and Slate Grey.
Maintenance of paved surface
When maintaining the paver surface, apply Gator Shampoo to clean the entire paved surface including the paver joints. Wash, rinse and remove any residue by using a hose and a watering gun set to shower with the normal maximum water pressure from any residential or commercial building (typically 80 psi/550 kPa).
Moss
FLEXLOCK SAND G2 will not cause nor prevent moss, mold or mildew. Moss, mold and mildew are caused by certain on-site conditions including excess moisture, shade, absence of ventilation, inadequate cleaning or maintenance, presence of soil or other organic debris left on the product.
Clay Pavers
If used on clay pavers make sure they are 100% dry. Clay pavers tend to hold moisture, which can prematurely activate the FLEXLOCK SAND G2 while the sand is being spread over the paver surface, leaving a residue. Always apply on a test area before using the FLEXLOCK SAND G2 on clay pavers.
Quantity required depends on the shape and size of the concrete pavers as well as the width of the joints.

PLEASE NOTE:
All pavers must be completely interlocked for vehicular and pedestrian use. If pavers are fanned they are not considered interlocked. FLEXLOCK SAND G2 can be applied when pavers are installed directly on open graded aggregates that lock or choke themselves. This means the polymeric sand will not migrate through the voids. Do not apply FLEXLOCK SAND G2 when the pavers are installed directly on aggregates with large voids.
Maximum joint width:
2″ (5 cm)
POLYMERIC SAND REQUIREMENTS
Minimum joint width: 1/8″ (3 mm)
Maximum joint width: 2″ (5 cm)
Minimum joint depth: 1 1/2″ (38 mm)
FLEXLOCK SAND G2 is recommended for a variety of uses including pool decks, patios, footpaths, driveways, parking spaces, pavements, etc. The concrete pavers must be installed on a traditional base system composed of 2 layers. The upper layer can have a maximum of 1 inch (25 mm) of bedding sand. The lower layer must have a minimum of 6 inches (15 cm) of crushed stone compacted at 98 % Proctor density. (See diagrams below.)
C-33 sand or ASTM No. 9 stone can be used under pavers.

Spread FLEXLOCK SAND G2 with hard-bristle broom. Make sure the FLEXLOCK SAND G2 completely fills the joints. Do not use with other materials in the joints. Leave a layer of FLEXLOCK SAND G2 on the surface to aid in the vibrating and consolidation of FLEXLOCK SAND G2 into joints. 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.
Vibrate the FLEXLOCK SAND G2 into the paver joints using a vibratory plate compactor. A rubber pad is recommended. A roller compactor is best for slab installation. Joints sand level, must be at least 1/8 inch (3 mm) below top of paver’s surface without chamfer or 1/8’’ (3 mm) below the chamfer. It is best to compact in several directions to ensure there are no air gaps or voids in the joints. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to ensure joints are filled and consolidated. Narrow joints require more care to completely fill. After initial compaction, about 30-50% of the sand will drop. Properly compacting will ensure enough product gets filled into the joints. Never skip this step!
Sweep off excess FLEXLOCK SAND G2 from the paved surface, first with a hard-bristle broom, then a soft-bristle broom. Take care to leave the height of FLEXLOCK SAND G2 at least 1/8 inch (3 mm) below top of paver’s surface without chamfer or 1/8 inch (3 mm) below the chamfer.
Shower for a minimum of 30 seconds for 30 sq. ft. (3 sq. m.) or until the FLEXLOCK SAND G2 repels the water and the water starts to accumulate on the joints.
Remove existing jointing material. Be careful not to disturb the bedding material under the pavers. Pavers must be completely dry before installing a minimum of 1 1/2’’ deep into the joints. FLEXLOCK SAND G2 level, must be at least 1/8 inch (3 mm) below top of paver’s surface without chamfer 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. Follow FLEXLOCK SAND G2 installation steps 1 to 4 for a new paver surface.
