Polymeric sand

Polymeric sand is a jointing compound that sets firm to lock paver joints and resist weeds.

Polymeric sand is a jointing compound of silica sand and polymer binders swept into the joints of a paver installation. When activated with water it sets firm, resisting washout, weed growth, and insect entry. It is standard for properly installed paver patios and walkways.
