Surface Solutions are pleased to be providing CRYSTALSEAL: Finally a weed-free system for block paving that works. New CRYSTALSEAL is a polymer resin sealer, reinforced with crystalline (sand like particles) that welds block paving together.

You can restore any paving area back to its original condition with NEW CRYSTALSEAL.

Paving Surface Before	Paving Surface After

CRYSTALSEAL is a dual-purpose product, which in addition to preventing weed growth in paving joints, stabilises the paving area by locking the pavior bricks together.

This is especially important in urban situations where mechanical sweepers and/or high pressure power-washers remove the sand within the paving joints. When joint sand is removed the structural stability of the pavior surface is lost, often resulting in subsidence.

Other CRYSTALSEAL benefits include the easy removal of chewing gum, and prevention of oil stains penetrating the pavior surface. This is acheived because the resin sealer penetrates and fills the porous pavior surface, thus preventing gum or oil being absorbed by the paviors.

CRYSTALSEAL is an 100% acrylic resin that contains UV barriers; resulting in only 5% colour fade in 10-years. CRYSTALSEAL can be applied as a clear sealer, restoring the original colour of the paving blocks, or mixed with a colour dye to transform the appearance of any existing paving area.

The application of CRYSTALSEAL is relatively quick; once the area is cleaned and prepared, the crystalline particles are brushed into the paving joints which are then locked into place with a polymer resin. This process stabilises and seals the pavior joints, which prevents weeds rooting, and ultimately spoil the aesthetic appearance and structural stability of the area. The process is described in more detail below.

CRYSTALSEAL PROCESS

	Step 1 The existing pavior surface must be thoroughly cleaned using a pressure cleaning device. This process should also remove the existing sand in the pavior joints
	Step 2 The cleaned surface must be thoroughly dried to ensure good adhesion between the concrete surface and the resin sealer
	Step 3 The surface is now ready for application
	Step 4 Crystalline particles are brushed into the pavior joints
	Step 5 It is important to ensure that the crystalline particles fill the joints completely
	Step 6 The first coat of polymer resin is evenly sprayed onto the surface and worked into the paviors with a soft brush
	Step 7 After approximately 15-minutes when the resin in dry, crystalline particles are again brushed into the paviors to fill any voids still remaining in the joints
	Step 8 A second coat of resin sealer is applied to the surface and well worked into the paviors using a soft brush to ensure the porous surface and joints absorb the maximum amount of sealer
	Step 9 The finished surface appears slightly glossy after the treatment, but will fade to a matt finish after approximately a week
