GftK vdw 850 plus is unique and the ’State-of-the-Art’ in Paving Jointing Mortar.
Designed for less stress, as you can start and finish on schedule, despite wet weather forecasts, even in in the rain. There is also no concern or worries about ensuring that residual water is removed from the joints, as the GftK mortars allow optimum use of wet-slurry application techniques. They are highly cohesive with extended flowability to spread easily across the paved surfaces and into the joints, where they displace any residual water with highly efficient self-compaction; and due to this, there is no additional tooling or finishing required.
No Staining
The 2nd-generation, water-dispersed epoxy technology is exclusive to GftK, and the resin is precoated on spherical alluvial glacial sands (fine no-fines aggregates), which are used to optimise the grading curve and granulometry, for the highest performance in application and service. This unique formulation prevents the separation and resin loss that with inferior products leads to the contamination and staining of the paved surfaces (even if they call it a temporary sheen!), especially on lighter and more permeable and sensitive natural stone. This also provides the high flow characteristics and self-compacting capabilities, plus this high cohesion allows more water to be used and support optimum wet-slurry application, so it is ‘the wetter the better’ at this stage with GftK mortars. By selecting GftK vdw 850 plus you have no worries about staining, or the unsightly resin bloom from the 1st-generation epoxy mortars in damp weather conditions. There is also none of the annoying cement haze that you can easily get from all cement-based jointing materials.
No more wating for dry conditions and a dry forecast

GftK vdw 850 plus then hardens quickly in the joints, to get areas open and/or back into service as fast as possible and then provides optimum to withstand the toughest exposure and service demands.
GftK vdw 850 plus hardens by internal cross-linking, so there are no short- or long-term shrinkage and consequential cracking problems, as there always will be with any cement-hydration and air-drying jointing products, which are the root cause of many joint failures. This also makes it the perfect solution for joints with variable widths, for example in the repointing of traditional Yorkstone and historic Slate slabs or Granite setts, as well as in the current rebirth of Crazy Paving as a designer thing. The result is long-term, tough and resilient paving jointing that easily withstands high-pressure jet-washing, even mechanical streetcleaning machines.
