Applications & Material Features

This binder is suitable for pedestrian applications such as pathways, alleys, and patios, as well as hardscape tasks including banding, edging, and trim where small crushed-stone aggregates or DG mixes are utilized. Key features and considerations include:

• One-Component System: Ready-to-use application.
• Aggregate Compatibility: Works with a range of small aggregate mixes (e.g., 3/8 minus, 1/4 minus, 3/16 minus).
• Permeability: Creates a porous/permeable final surface when mixed per product guidance.
• Surface Protections: Reduces dust and gravel migration and resists surface erosion from rainwater and foot traffic.
• Environmental Impact: Manufacturer statements note the product will not harm plants or aquatic life.
• Appearance: The treated surface may darken slightly, and surface appearance (gloss) can change over time.
