A-JOINT DECOFIX PRO

Steps Quote for this product More information

A-JOINT®DECOFIX PRO is a very highly water-permeable 2-component special resin for professional binding of chippings and gravel. High strengths allow the application on surfaces with light traffic load.

A-JOINT®DECOFIX PRO fixes and strengthens public surfaces in
general path construction, on park or cemetery paths as well as play
grounds. The high-strength special resin is also suitable for tree
borders and bench edgings, ensuring a neat appearance.

The slip resistance of surfaces treated with A-JOINT®DECOFIX PRO
minimises the risk of falls. At the same time, it reduces the mainten
ance costs of the surface by making cleaning much easier.

Processing instructions

Prepare

The surface must be cleared of weeds, roots and loose parts to a depth of at least 30 mm. depth. As a general
rule, the layer thickness should be three times the largest grain of the stone used. To avoid settling, we
recommend a permanently water-permeable and load-bearing subsoil according to the later load. The
additional use of a weed fleece is recommended. Adjacent areas should be masked or covered to prevent
soiling by the fresh binder

The stone used (2/32 mm) must be dust-free and completely dry.

Should cleaning and drying be necessary, allow sufficient time before processing. Attention! Moisture in the
mixture can significantly affect the strength. It is recommended to store the bottle in a warmer environment
before processing. This makes emptying much easier.

Mixing

Fill the chippings/gravel into a suitable mixing container. We recommend using a compulsory or free-fall mixer.
Start the mixing process and now add the contents of the bottle containers completely. Make sure that the
bottle containers are completely emptied. The entire mixing process should take at least 6 minutes until the
stones are completely wetted with the binder.

Processing

Pour the finished mixture onto the prepared surface and spread it with a clean shovel. Then level the surface
with a levelling rod. Now compact the surface with a smoothing trowel and level the surface at the same
time. The better the surface is compacted, the more durable it will be.

After-treatment:

Protect the freshly planted area from rain for at least 24 hours. We recommend using construction sheeting
or tarpaulins as rain protection. These must not be placed directly on the surface. At temperatures around
20°C, the surface can be walked on after 24 hours and driven on after 6 days. For heavily used surfaces, the
construction height should be at least 50 mm.
A strength test is always recommended before use. Cleaning work (high-pressure cleaner max. 100 bar,
min. 40 cm distance) may be carried out after 7 days at the earliest. If necessary, the upper stone layer can
be additionally sealed. For this purpose, apply A-JOINT®DECOFIX PRO thinly (150 – 250 ml/m²) to the clean
and dry surface with a brush or paint roller.

Resin film: A-JOINT®DECOFIX PRO leaves a thin resin film on the stone surface, which intensifies the colour of the
stone used (wet-look effect) and protects it from soiling. The resin film usually disappears over time due to weathering
and use of the surface. If in doubt, create a small test area. The synthetic resin film is not a design defect, as neither
the quality nor the functionality of the surface is affected.

Application notes: Use A-JOINT®DECOFIX PRO only with a stable, load-bearing and permanently water-permeable
substructure or a slope of at least 2%. Plan for expansion joints and consider sufficient distance to plant stems (growth).
Please wear adequate protective clothing. Work shoes and tools must be free of dirt and should be cleaned with water
after application. Regularly remove dirt, leaves and moss from the surface. Our information is based on years of expe-
rience and the current state of the art, but is non-binding and does not constitute a contractual legal relationship
