Azpects azpects.co.uk Azpects Limited, Unit 13, Riverside Industrial Park, Rapier Street, Ipswich IP2 8JX. 01473 760777 azpects.com Azpects USA, 800-395-9701 Incorporates TECHNOLOGY EASYSeal Ultimate Superior sealer - tough & long-lasting protection • Designed to give the highest level of protection on natural stone and concrete • Superior scrub rate, hard-wearing and long-lasting • Resists build-up of algae and lichen • Top-level stain repellent properties • Non-solvent, non-toxic formulation • Virtually invisible on most types of natural stone General Information, Precautions and Expectations 1. Joint Appearance- Over time, the visual appearance of the joint will change as a result of natural environmental and climatic conditions (see under Site Conditions). EASYJoint Pro is porous and will therefore discolour over time as a result of surface grit and dust being washed through the joint. This can be cleaned and refreshed by pressure washing, bringing both the porosity and look of the joint close to its original state. 2. Residue Staining- Due to the nature of epoxy resins, a fine residue will remain but this will, over time, fade and in most cases eventually disappear, but no guarantee of this is given or implied.. DO NOT RINSE THE AREA AND COVER IF RAIN IS LIKELY WITH SIX HOURS OF APPLICATION. Pre-sealing the paving 24 hours before using EASYJoint Pro is highly recommended. EASYSeal Ultimate is a high-quality sealer which will help protect most paving types by preventing the ingress of the resin contained in EASYJoint Pro. For porcelain paving, use EASYSeal Porcelain Sealer. 3. Strength- The compressive and flexural strength of EASYJoint Pro is such that it will adequately take the forces exerted by pedestrians, domestic cars and medium weight commercial vehicles. It will also withstand mechanical cleaning by pressure washing and road sweepers. EASYJoint Pro is not designed to form a structural part of the paving installation. The integrity of the project can only be maintained if the surface material is adequately bedded into the base which, in turn, is constructed to an appropriate specification. 4. Setting/Curing- The curing time depends on a number of factors - weather, air and surface temperatures and the amount of water used during the installation. In perfect conditions the joint should set firm approx. 24-48hrs, after which pedestrian traffic is permissible. Vehicular traffic should be avoided for at least 5 days after the joint has set. The strengthening process continues for 28 days thereafter. Cold temperatures and the use of excessive water during application can extend these curing times substantially. 5. Footwear caution- The soles of footwear may pick up some EASYJoint Pro during the application process. It is recommended that boot/shoe covers are worn during the application process and removed before walking on the finished surface. At the very least, if covers are not worn, the soles of footwear should be thoroughly cleaned before walking across dried (or drying) paving to avoid leaving “footmarks”. For similar reasons, do not use the same broom that was used to apply the EASYJoint Pro to clear the surface afterwards; it will be contaminated and may leave marks. 6. Cleaning Tools - wash tools with warm soapy water as soon as possible after use and before the resin has cured.
