STABILIT UV binding agent for stone carpets 5 kg

STABILIT is a UV stable one-component polyurethane binding agent for binding stone granulates, sands, pebbles, and similar materials.  

Usage:

- stone mats

- bicycle paths and pedestrian walkways

- yards

 - areas around trees

- walking surfaces in parks

- grouting or stabilization of joint sand in natural stone and concrete pavers

- logos with colored sands  

Color:

transparent, does not yellow under UV rays (suitable for white sands as well).

Conditions for execution:

Ideal stone granulations are washed, kiln-dried, and dust-free fractions in a narrower range of granulations, e.g., 2-4 mm, 5-8 mm, 3-8 mm,... Due to permeability and greater strength, it is important that the pebbles are rounded and not crushed. The ground must be leveled and properly compacted to a thickness of at least 25 cm before application. It must be ensured that surface water does not stagnate or is properly drained.  

The minimum thickness of the stone carpet application must be at least 30 mm.  

Consumption of the binding agent: depends on granulation; usually below 6 weight %.  

Approximate mixing ratios of Stabilit binding agent : sand

Sand granulation 0.7-1.2 and 1-2mm: 6 % Stabilit  (= 1 kg Stabilit + 17 kg sand)

Sand granulation 2-4mm:                   5 % Stabilit  (= 1 kg Stabilit + 20 kg sand)

Sand granulation 4-8mm:                   4 % Stabilit  (= 1 kg Stabilit + 25 kg sand)

Sand granulation 8-12mm:             3-4 % Stabilit  (= 1 kg Stabilit + 25-28 kg sand)

Larger sand granulations:             approx. 3 % Stabilit  

Quartz sand 0.60 – 1.20 mm approx. 10 kg/m² at a thickness of  5 mm approx. 0.50 kg/m² (max. 5% to the amount of sand)

Quartz sand 2.00 – 3.50 mm approx. 14 kg/m² at a thickness of  8 mm approx. 0.70 kg/m² (max. 5% to the amount of sand)

Marble or quartz 2.00 – 6.00 mm approx. 17 kg/m² at a thickness of  10 mm approx. 0.85 kg/m² (max. 5% to the amount of sand) 
                        

Grouting natural stone and concrete pavers with sand 0.7-1.2mm:  approx. 1.25 kg Stabilit per  25 kg sand  

For larger quantities, it is recommended to use a planetary mixer with 300 revolutions/minute; mixing time 3-5 minutes.  

Working conditions: temperature range (ground, material, and air) 8-25 °C, optimal humidity 50-70 %      

Usability time of the mixture or max. time until installation:   
at 10°C: 40 minutes

at 20°C: 30 minutes

at 30°C: 20 minutes  

During installation, the material must be properly compacted or hardened, and if necessary, rolled.  

Application on concrete surfaces:  If the substrate is concrete, it is necessary to mechanically clean dry concrete (below 4% moisture), vacuum the dust, and prime with Epoxy 210 resin, which is sprinkled with Geba quartz while wet.  After 24 hours (at 20°C), a layer of sand with Stabilit binding agent can be applied. On concrete, we recommend a layer thickness of at least 25 mm. It is mandatory to create a dilation joint every 100 m2 or 10 linear meters. The same applies to all joints with curbs and similar. A 5 mm EPS strip or similar can be used. Later, the dilation joint is filled with elastic polyurethane.   

Walking strength: 24 hours Final strength:   72 hours   

Storage: 6 months at a temperature of 15-25°C.
