SEK-Surebond introduced PolySweep Polymeric Sand in 2009 due to inconsistent performance of some brands of polymeric sand at that time. PolySweep with Clear Set Technology is made with only high-quality clear polymers and NO portland cement.

PolySweep has superior strength and will perform consistently on every project. Use PolySweep for joints up to ¾” and X-Treme Wide Joint PolySweep for joints up to 4” with pavers, natural stone, cast stone, cobblestone, concrete overlays, and pool decks. The sand is available in tan, gray, and russet brown.
