BE-689 KiesFix Binder and Adhesive for Pebbles, Gravel and Natural Stones

KiesFix - For gravel, grit and natural stones.

The Kieselbinder is a ready-to-use, water-based binder for fixing loose stones and gravel such as grit, pebbles and natural stones. Bark mulch can also be very effectively bound and secured. This keeps the stones where they belong. KiesFix is breathable, vapour-permeable and weather-resistant. Ready to use and effective.

Suitable for light to moderate loads, decorative areas and occasional pedestrian traffic. Not suitable for vehicles.
We also offer decorative gravel, washed and dried, in various shades.

The best results are achieved with fine-grained gravel up to approx. 18/20 mm. Such surfaces can easily be walked on occasionally. The required quantity is also low. Coarser decorative gravel up to approx. 25/40 mm can also be bound without problems and will stay where it belongs, but the stones should only be walked on carefully.

In addition to the spraying method, the stones can also be mixed with KiesFix. For fine-grained gravel up to approx. 15/16 mm, you will need approx. 1-2 l of binder per 25 kg of stones.

As a general rule, it is recommended that after one day of drying, a final additional coat should be applied by spraying.

Consumption using the spraying method
Highly dependent on grain size and quantity. For decorative gravel of 15-25 mm or 25-40 mm, at least 3-4 coats are necessary. The stones must be sufficiently moistened with each coat. Here is an example calculation:

Quantity: 30 kg spread over approx. 0.5 m²
Grain size 15-25 mm = at least 3-4 coats, full-surface/sufficient/generous moistening, approx. 1 litre required
Grain size 25-40 mm = at least 3-4 coats, full-surface/sufficient/generous moistening, approx. 2.5 litres required

After moistening, coarser decorative gravel is very effectively bound and will stay where it belongs, but the stones should only be walked on carefully. The best results are achieved with fine-grained gravel up to approx. 18/20 mm. Such surfaces can easily be walked on occasionally. With a finer grain size, significantly less binder and fewer working steps are also required.

Consumption using the mixing method
Highly dependent on grain size and quantity. For fine-grained gravel up to approx. 15/16 mm, you will need approx. 1-2 l of binder per 25 kg of stones.

Application
Smaller areas can be treated with a 1 l spray bottle. For larger areas, a pressure sprayer with a 5 l capacity, for example, is best. Loose decorative gravel can be mixed directly with the binder in a suitable mixing container and then spread and pressed down with a trowel. Always protect surrounding surfaces during processing.

Drying
At 20 °C and 60% relative humidity, drying takes approx. 24 hours. Allow correspondingly long drying times in cooler, more humid conditions.

Substrates: The substrate must be clean and dry. The stones to be coated must be cleaned beforehand and placed in the desired shape before coating.

Processing: KiesFix can be applied using a watering can, sprayer (garden sprayer or pressure sprayer), spray bottle or brush. Tape off surrounding surfaces before application. KiesFix is supplied ready to use. Stir before use and use undiluted. Do not process or dry at temperatures below +5 °C. Exact consumption quantities must be determined on site. As a general rule, it is recommended that after one day of drying, a final additional coat should be applied by spraying.

Special precautions: Skin and eyes must be protected during processing. In case of eye contact, rinse the eye thoroughly and sufficiently under running water. If symptoms persist, consult an ophthalmologist. Stir well before use. Reclose the container tightly after use. Clean tools immediately after use with water.
