About this item

  • No vibrating plate needed. Techniseal states NOCO does not require mechanical compaction. Surface compaction remains possible, but it is no longer mandatory. On irregular flagstone that alone can save a day of labor and a broken stone or two.
  • High compressive strength. Skipping compaction does not mean a weak joint. NOCO is formulated for strength without the plate.
  • It stays flexible. NOCO follows soil movement rather than fighting it, which is what prevents joints crumbling through freeze and thaw cycles.
  • It adheres to the stone without contracting. Techniseal specifies that it bonds strongly to the inner walls of pavers and stones and does not shrink back, which is where gaps and hairline failures usually start.
  • It flows down the joint. The formula is built to spread easily and run smoothly and uniformly into irregular joints rather than bridging over them.
  • Rated for heavy vehicular and humidity. Techniseal lists pedestrian, light vehicular, and heavy vehicular traffic, plus high humidity environments and sloped terrain.

Why NOCO?

The No Compaction Jointing Compound Built For Flagstone And Natural Stone

Flagstone is the install where conventional polymeric sand causes the most trouble. You either skip compaction and the joint never locks, or you compact and risk cracking the stone. NOCO removes that choice.

Description

The No Compaction Jointing Compound Built For Flagstone And Natural Stone

NOCO is a high compressive strength polymeric joint made for flagstone and other paving materials where running a plate compactor is impossible, impractical, or simply too risky for the stone. It does not require mechanical compaction at all. It handles joints from 1/4 inch to 4 inches, stays flexible so it follows soil movement through freeze and thaw cycles, and carries a 20 year limited warranty. Techniseal calls it the first true alternative to mortar and stone dust.

Why Contractors Ask for NOCO by Name

Flagstone is the install where conventional polymeric sand causes the most trouble. You either skip compaction and the joint never locks, or you compact and risk cracking the stone. NOCO removes that choice.

  • No vibrating plate needed. Techniseal states NOCO does not require mechanical compaction. Surface compaction remains possible, but it is no longer mandatory. On irregular flagstone that alone can save a day of labor and a broken stone or two.
  • High compressive strength. Skipping compaction does not mean a weak joint. NOCO is formulated for strength without the plate.
  • It stays flexible. NOCO follows soil movement rather than fighting it, which is what prevents joints crumbling through freeze and thaw cycles.
  • It adheres to the stone without contracting. Techniseal specifies that it bonds strongly to the inner walls of pavers and stones and does not shrink back, which is where gaps and hairline failures usually start.
  • It flows down the joint. The formula is built to spread easily and run smoothly and uniformly into irregular joints rather than bridging over them.
  • Rated for heavy vehicular and humidity. Techniseal lists pedestrian, light vehicular, and heavy vehicular traffic, plus high humidity environments and sloped terrain.
  • Impervious jointing. Once cured it repels weed growth and insect infestation, the two things that ruin a stone patio over time.
  • Works over both base types. Techniseal approves NOCO on hard base and on cement or sand base installations.

The coverage spread on NOCO is wide because flagstone joints are wide and irregular. Techniseal gives up to 120 sq ft per bag for joints under 1/2 inch, dropping to 20 to 40 sq ft per bag once the joints get wide. On irregular flagstone, plan against the low figure and you will not come up short.

Data sheets

The manufacturer's technical data sheet (coverage, joint width, cure and rain-safe times) and safety data sheet are collected in the TDS and SDS library. Every figure on this page comes from those sheets.

Questions about this product

Ask a question ›
How many bags do I need?
Coverage depends on paver size, joint width and joint depth, so a bag count from a square-foot number alone can be off by half. The coverage calculator uses this product's own data sheet figures: enter your area, paver size and joint width and it gives you the bag count.
Which colors does it come in?
2 options: Iron Gray, Desert Tan. Screens shift color, so check a color sample against your own pavers before ordering full bags if the shade matters.
When will it ship?
In-stock orders placed before 2:00 PM Eastern on a weekday ship the same day from our Williamstown, New Jersey warehouse by UPS or FedEx Ground. The cut-off is when the carriers start arriving; order after it, or on a weekend, and it ships the next business day. Just missed it? Call (856) 418-4895: if the carrier has not picked up yet we do our best to get it out the same day. The box above the Add to cart button shows the live countdown and an arrival estimate for your ZIP. Phones are answered 24/7; the warehouse itself is open for pick-ups and returns Monday to Friday 8 to 5 and Saturday 8 to noon, Eastern. For a pick-up, call first so we can pull your order.
Can I buy by the pallet?
Yes. Full pallets ship by freight truck, so we price the delivery for your address instead of guessing. Request a pallet quote or call (856) 418-4895 and we will call you back with a delivered price.
Where are the technical and safety data sheets?
The manufacturers' technical and safety data sheets are collected in the TDS and SDS library. Coverage, cure time and application temperatures on this page come from those sheets.
Is contractor or bulk pricing available?
No. One price for everyone: the price on the page is what contractors, landscapers and homeowners all pay. For full pallets, request a pallet quote and we will price the freight to your address.
