A premium paver sand with a proprietary binder specially formulated for paver applications including driveways, terraces, sidewalks, and patios. Applied dry, the polymeric sand hardens after wetting to form a firm, stiff joint that binds and locks the pavers in place while also remaining flexible to follow the movement of the pavers without cracking or coming loose. Joint prevents insect infestation, inhibits weed growth, and resists erosion caused by water, wind, and other weather elements.
