ROMEX® W1000
Cold Climate Jointing
Product ID: #2244
Ideal for winter projects down to -5 °C / 23°F.
W1000 synthetic resin jointing mortar can be installed at negative temperatures as it will successfully cure in temperatures as low as -5 °C | 23 °F. It is resistant to street cleaning vehicles, allows for the quick re-opening of traffic and is ideal for public spaces and commercial yards. The compound has a high strength rating and is suitable for over 3/8” | 8mm wide joints on all natural stone and concrete pavers.
WEATHER WARNING – Only install at surface temperatures between -5°C – 20°C | 23°F – 68°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 surface according to expected traffic loads. Follow regulations and
guidelines for paved surfaces. Ensure future loads won’t cause settling or loosening of stones. Use ROMEX® TRASS
BED products and the ROMEX® SYSTEM-GUARANTEE (RSG) for best results. Use ROMEX® application tools for
optimal performance.
Important: Store materials at room temperature (+20 °C). Mix at temperatures above 10 °C in a heated area Application can be done at below-freezing temperatures. Due to potential yellowing, use the color tone “Sand-
Basalt.”
Preparation: Remove snow before jointing (e.g., with a tiger torch). Ensure joints are at a depth of at least 30 mm (1 1⁄4″) or 2⁄3 of stone height for traffic loads, with a minimum joint width of 8 mm (3⁄8″). Clean the surface of impurities before starting. Tape off adjacent surfaces not to be jointed to avoid resin contact.
Mixing: Mix at above-freezing temperatures. Pour the 25 kg (55 lbs) filler component into a mixing tub and start mixing. Slowly add the 3.0 kg (6.6 lbs) resin/hardener component. Do not add water. If using a bucket: Mix for 3 minutes, then transfer to a clean, dry bucket and mix for an additional 3 minutes, ensuring all resin is scraped into the new bucket. If using a concrete mixer: Scrape all resin residue from the edges/sides of the mixer. Total mixing time: at least 6 minutes. Use a Drill mixer.
Application: Apply small amounts of the mixed mortar onto the surface and roughly distribute it using a spade or metal slider. Work the mortar into the joints with a rubber squeegee, ensuring it fills the joints completely. Regularly clean tools and work shoes with water during jointing to avoid impurities and footprints.
Final Cleaning: Immediately after application, sweep the surface with a coarse broom. Use a soft hair 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 unnecessary during drizzle. Protect the surface for 12-24 hours in case of heavy or continuous rain, ensuring air circulation.
Important Note: Thin epoxy resin film may remain initially, enhancing color and protecting from dirt. This film is temporary and will disappear over time 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 affect surface quality. Refer to your ROMEX® rep for
more information.
