Eurostone sand
FOR NATURAL STONE PAVER JOINTS, up to 3.5 cm
drainage base
setting time: 1 hour above 0°C
EUROSTONE BOND is the first polymeric sand, that meets DIN EN 13139 gradation, specifically designed for natural stone pavers. It can be used in an application for drainage base systems. It s perfect for stone roads, piazzas, driveways, pathways & stone apron driveways. This complete multi-purpose sand is available in Slate Grey. It sets above the freezing temperature 0°C.
- Residential and commercial use
- Drainage base
- Natural stone and Cobble pavers
- Pool sides, patios, foot paths, driveways, stone apron driveways, parking spaces, stone roads and piazzas
- Can be used for stone joints up to a maximum of 3.5 cm.
- Helps prevent weed sprouting and the damage caused by insects.
- Helps prevent erosion due to climatic conditions, such as wind, rain and freezing.
- Sets at above freezing temperature 0°C.
- EUROSTONE BOND can be applied in drainage base systems, sets within 1 hour after water activation at above 0°C (No rain should occur within 1 hour after water activation).
- Does not haze natural stone pavers.
- Waterproof bags can be laid flat and stored outdoors. (Lay bag flat on its back, so front of the bag is facing you.)
- It is mandatory to have a minimum 2% top surface slope for proper water run off.
- Will resist mechanical brooming.
- Helps prevent weeds and damage caused by burrowing insects
- Helps prevent erosion due to wind, rain and freeze/thaw cycles
MAINTENANCE OF PAVED SURFACE
When maintaining the paver surface, apply paver cleaner 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 550 kPa).
MOSS
EUROSTONE BOND 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.

IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTES
- Always refer to the latest EUROSTONE BOND Technical Data Sheet (TDS) at AllianceGator.com before installing EUROSTONE BOND.
- Installation of natural stone pavers must be done in accordance with a drainage foundation before adding EUROSTONE BOND.
- Natural stone pavers’ sides and top surfaces must be completely dry. Do not apply if the natural stone pavers surfaces are damp or wet. The damp or wet surface will cause EUROSTONE BOND to prematurely activate and will lead to the polymers sticking on the natural stone pavers surfaces.
- Do not apply EUROSTONE BOND, if the natural stone pavers joints are damp or wet. This will prevent the EUROSTONE BOND from properly sliding into the joints and obtaining very densely packed joints, which is critical to the product’s performance.
- Temperature must be above 0°C with dry conditions.A minimum of 1 hour of dry weather is required after activation of the EUROSTONE BOND.
- For all natural stone pavers surfaces, and particularly around in-ground pools, there must be a minimum slope of 3 mm per 30 cm away from the edge of the pool or structures to ensure water evacuation off the paver surface.
- For the pool coping units, it is mandatory to use mortarin the joints. For the rest of the natural stone pavers installation around the pool, you can use EUROSTONE BOND.
- Do not sweep EUROSTONE BOND over asphalt.
- Install EUROSTONE BOND a minimum of 3 mm below top of natural stone paver’s surface or 3 mm below the chamfer. The filled and cured polymeric sand joints should never be in direct contact with foot traffic or tires, because erosion may occur.
PLEASE NOTE:
All pavers must be completely interlocked for vehicular and pedestrian use. If pavers are fanned, they are not considered interlocked. EUROSTONE BOND can be applied when pavers are installed directly open graded aggregates that lock or choke themselves. This means the polymeric sand will not migrate through the voids. Do not apply EUROSTONE BOND when the pavers are installed directly on aggregates with large voids

Maximum joint width: 35 mm
REQUIRED SUB-SURFACE PREPARATION
EUROSTONE SAND is recommended for a variety of uses including pool decks, patios, footpaths, driveways, parking spaces, pavements etc. The natural stone pavers must be installed on a drainage base system composed of 2 layers. The upper layer can have a maximum of 25 mm of bedding sand or 9 mm clean stone. The lower layer must have a minimum of 15 cm of crushed stone compacted at 98% Proctor density. (See diagram below).
1 Drainage base system:
- A minimum 2% top surface slope for proper water runoff
- EUROSTONE BOND at least 3 mm below the paver stone surface
- Minimum depth of joint 38 mm
- Maximum joint width 35 mm
- Layer of bedding sand maximum of 25 mm
- Layer of 15 cm thickness of 0-20 mm compacted crushed stone
- For light or heavy traffic applications the stone pavers must be completely interlocked
Installation Instructions
METHOD for applying EUROSTONE BOND for a DRAINAGE BASE SYSTEM on a NEW STONE SURFACE:
STEP 2
IMPORTANT
If step 4 is not carried out properly, a whitish veil may appear on the surface of the stones after installation. This results from an excess residue of EUROSTONE BOND left on the surface of the stones. This whitish veil will dissipate over time. It can also be removed using an efflorescence cleaning agent.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
(For an existing natural stone paver surface)
STEP 1
Using a pressure washer, completely remove the existing jointing material. However, special attention must be paid not to move the sand laying bed under the stone pavers. Natural stone pavers must be completely dry before installing a minimum 3.8 cm depth in joints. Make sure EUROSTONE BOND is located at least 3 mm below the top of natural stone pavers or erosion may occur. Filled and cured polymer sand joints should never be in direct contact with the pedestrian traffic or tires.
STEP 2
Follow steps 1 to 4 of the instructions for NEW STONE PAVING SURFACE (see above).
