Environmentally Friendly Joint SandEnviroBOND’s EnviroSAND is a stabilized joint sand designed for use with paving stones. It is a combination of traditional jointing sand and an organic glue made from a renewable plant resource. The plant glue is designed to form an adhesive gel that binds sand particles together every time the EnviroSAND is in contact with water. The gel protects the sand from washing out of the joints. With an elevated pH level, EnviroSAND creates a toxic environment in which seedlings can’t germinate, deterring weed growth. |
