A-JOINT® READY FLEX is a ready-to-use and vacuum-packed paving joint mortar with a fine sand grain and excellent slurry properties, perfect for narrow joints from 3 mm.
-JOINT® READY FLEX prevents weed growth in the joints, is waterpermeable, frost-proof and hardens through contact with atmospheric oxygen. Its lasting flexibility makes it ideal for grouting large-format slabs on terraces and walkways.
A-JOINT®READY FLEX can be used for almost all ceramic coverings as well as for coated and sensitive stone surfaces.

Processing instructions:
Preparing the site
The joints must be cleaned of weeds, roots and loose parts to a depth of at least 20 mm without leaving any residue. The covering to be grouted must be freed from any dirt. Adjacent areas not to be grouted should be masked or covered. To avoid settling and loose stones, we recommend a permanently water-permeable and load-bearing substrate corresponding to the subsequent load.
Pre-wetting
Pre-wet the entire surface extensively. Higher soil temperatures and absorbent, open-pored stone require more intensive pre-wetting. Generally, use clean and cold water.
Cleaning the surface
Immediately after grouting, clean the stone surface with a medium-coarse street broom carefully and diagonally to the joint. Remove all residues of the paving grout from the stone surface. Do not reuse material that has been turned away. Be sure to expose chamfers (beveling of side edges) on slabs and pavers.
After-treatment
Immediately after grouting, clean the stone surface with a medium-coarse street broom carefully and diagonally to the joint. Remove all residues of the paving grout from the stone surface. Do not reuse material that has been turned away. Be sure to expose chamfers (beveling of side edges) on slabs and pavers.
Important
Resin film: After grouting with A-JOINT® READY FLEX, a thin resin film remains on the stone surface in case of insufficient watering, which intensifies the stone color and protects the stone against soiling. This resin film usually disappears over time due to weathering and use of the surface. If in doubt, create a small test area. The resin film is not a design defect, as neither the quality nor the functionality of the joint is affected.
Technical application notes: Use A-JOINT® READY FLEX only with a stable, load-bearing and permanently water-permeable substructure or a slope of at least 2%. Take into account the current regulations for the construction of terraces and paths. Do not use in permanently wet areas or in cases of waterlogging. A-JOINT® READY FLEX has an inherent odor which disappears over time after complete curing. Application is recommended only in well-ventilated outdoor areas. We would like to point out the wearing of adequate protective work clothing. Work shoes and tools must be free of dirt and should be cleaned with water during and after application.
Regularly remove dirt, leaves and moss from the joint surface.
