ROMEX® D1
Commercial Resin Jointing
Ideal for plazas & light to medium traffic loads
ROMEX D1 installs just like all of our other two-component jointing mortars, simply combine with water in a gravity mixer to create a slurry-like mortar that easily seeps into your paver joints using a squeegee on pre-wet pavers. This product is a great solution for public spaces and areas requiring vehicle use on joint widths greater than 1/8″ | 3mm on porcelain tile and 1/4″ | 5mm on natural stone or concrete pavers. Ideal for plazas & light to medium traffic loads.
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. 20-30 minute working time.
- For traffic loads up to 7.5 T (Up to 40T with RSG)
- Self-compacting
- Pressure washer safe
- Increased pouring capacity
- Water emulsifiable

Foundation Preparation: Prepare the foundation based on the expected traffic and adhere to the ROMEX® SYSTEM-GUARANTEE (RSG). Utilize ROMEX® application tools for optimal results.
Joint Preparation: Clean joints to a depth of at least 30 mm | 1 1⁄4″ (or 2⁄3 of stone height for traffic loads, minimum joint width 3 mm | 1⁄8″). For slab thickness under 30 mm, use bonded laying methods and fill joints entirely with ROMEX® – D1. Clean the joint-fixed surface of all impurities before starting work. Tape off adjacent surfaces not to be joint-fixed.
Pre-wetting: Pre-wet the surface; porous surfaces and higher temperatures require more intense pre-wetting.
Mixing: Pour the filler components into a mixing tub, add the resin/hardener component gradually while mixing. Rinse both resin/hardener bottles with water and add to the mixture. After 3 minutes of mixing, add water and continue mixing for at least 3 minutes more. Use a rotary-drum mixer or drill mixer with helical paddle attachment
Application: Apply the mixed mortar onto the moistened surface and work it into the joints using a squeegee/rubber slider. Pour mortar at several spots within the jointing area for best flow. Clean tools and workshoes regularly during jointing to prevent impurities.
Final Cleaning: After 10-15 minutes, sweep excess mortar off the stone surface with a coarse broom, then perform a final cleaning with a soft broom until all residual mortar is removed.
Subsequent Treatment: Protect the freshly jointed surface from rain for the next 12-24 hours. Ensure rain protection layer allows for sufficient air circulation.
Resin Film: Initially, a thin film of epoxy resin remains on the stone surface, enhancing color and protecting from dirt. This film is temporary and will diminish over time due to weathering and abrasion. Test a sample surface if uncertain before jointing. A resin film does not indicate an application fault, and surface quality is not compromised.
