ROMEX® D2000
Heavy Vehicle Jointing
Ideal for heavy commercial loading
The strongest product in our jointing line, D2000 is similar to D1 but allows for a quick re-opening to vehicle use and is resistant to street cleaning vehicles. This compound has a strong pouring capacity that is self-compacting, permeable and suitable for over 1/4” | 5mm wide joints on all natural stone and concrete pavers. Just like our other products D2000 is resistant to ants, weeds, frost, de-icing salts and is pressure washer safe.
WEATHER WARNING – Only install at surface temperatures between 0°C – 30°C | 32°F – 86°F) Lower temperatures result in slower hardening while higher temperatures cure faster. 15-20 minutes of working time.
- For traffic loads up to 25 T (Up to 40T with RSG)
- Can be installed up to -5 °C | 23 °F
- Resistant to street cleaning vehicles
- Allows for quick re-opening to traffic

Construction Site Requirements: Prepare the foundation according to the expected traffic loads. Follow regulations and guidelines for constructing paved stone surfaces. Ensure future loads won’t cause the surface to settle or loosen stones. For best results, use ROMEX® Trass-Bed products and the ROMEX® SYSTEM-GUARANTEE (RSG). Use ROMEX® application tools for optimum results.
Preparation: Clean joints to a depth of at least 30 mm (1 1⁄4″). For traffic loads, clean to 2⁄3 of stone height, with a minimum joint width of 5 mm (1⁄4″). Clean the surface of all impurities before starting. Tape off adjoining surfaces not to be joint- fixed.
Pre-wetting: Pre-wet the surface. More porous surfaces and higher temperatures require more intense pre-wetting.
Mixing: Pour the 25 kg (55 lbs) filler component into a mixing tub. Slowly add the 2.5 kg (5.5 lbs) resin/hardener component while mixing. Rinse both resin/hardener bottles with 0.5 litres (0.13 gal) of water, shake, and add to the mixture. Mix for 3 minutes. Add 2 litres (0.53 gal) of water and continue mixing for at least 3 more minutes. Use a rotary drum or Drill mixer.
Application: Apply the mixed mortar onto the pre-wetted surface. Work the mortar into the joints using a squeegee or rubber slider. Pour the mortar at several spots to maximize fluidity. If not using all the mortar immediately, remix briefly before continuing to ensure optimal flow. Regularly clean tools and work shoes with water during jointing to avoid impurities and footprints.
Final Cleaning: After approximately 10 minutes, sweep off excess mortar with a coarse broom. Use a soft broom for final cleaning until all residual mortar is removed. Sweep diagonally to the joint. Do not reuse swept-off material.
Subsequent Treatment: Rain protection is not necessary during drizzle. Protect the surface for 12-24 hours in case of heavy or continuous rain. Ensure air circulation by not placing rain protection directly on the surface.
Important Note: A thin epoxy resin film may remain on the stone surface initially, enhancing color and providing dirt protection. This film is temporary and will disappear due to weathering and abrasion. Test a sample surface if unsure before full application. A resin film is not an application fault and does not compromise surface quality. Refer to your ROMEX® representative for more information.
