SYSTEM RECOMMENDATIONS
SUBSTRATE PREPARATION
On newly laid projects, Mona-Guard Block should be applied during pavement construction ensuring minimum preparation is required. On old paving, remove all dirt, debris, weed growth, oil and any other contaminants. This can be acheived by utilsing the listed Monaseal preparation products contained within this TDS.
In general, the surface must be sound, clean, dry, free from frost, laitance, weed growth, oil, grease and all dust, loose and friable materials must be completely removed from surfaces prior to application.
NOTE - Existing projects will need more aggressive cleaning in order to remove 20mm – 30mm of existing joint sand, a pressure washer is required. Mona-Guard Block cannot be applied to old jointing sand.
Monaseal’s recommended preparation products
- Mould, fungi and organic growth present - Mona-Sterile - Sterilising solution
- General grime on substrate - use Mona-Maintain
- Oil / greese present - use Mona-sperse - Oil dispersant
- Heavy staining agents on aged substrates - Use Mona-Bricone Clean - Brick & Stone cleaner
- Cement, Grout and mortar spillages and staining - Use Mona-Mort Clean - Cement & mortar cleaner.
For use on application for all recommended substrate prepartation materials, please consult the TDS for each material.
Jointing Sand Application
- It is recommended Mona-Guard Block should only be applied when a dry period is forecast for the next 8 hrs as a minimum for maximum performance.
- Jointing sand used should conform to BS7533.
- Jointing sand should be applied by brushing it into place with a soft broom.
- Old paving Joints should be filled with a minimum of 20mm - 30mm of approved sand.
- New paving joints should be filled to a depth of 100%
- Always remove residual sand from chamfer or top of setts/blocks. Application of Mona-Guard Block will bond sand left on tops of setts/blocks, making removal at a later stage difficult.
