Armor SX5000 WB Water-Based Silane-Siloxane Sealer for Concrete, Brick, Pavers, Stone - Matte Concrete Sealer - 1 Gallon

This product is incredible. In florida I have to power wash the concrete walkways 2-3 times a year to remove the algae, fungus and other fauna that grows in the wet humid conditions. This year i applied the Armor product in April and the concrete looks like I just power washed it. I was easy to use, keeps the water from penetrating and the fauna from growing. It is expensive but very effective and I will be applying to more concrete next spring.

I replaced an asphalt driveway with concrete at significant expense. I researched how to seal the concrete and found Foundation Armor SX5000WB. My experience with this sealant is positive. - I applied the sealant with the HDX 2 Gallon Multi-Purpose Lawn and Garden Pump Sprayer. I was going to purchase a more expensive DeWalt two gallon sprayer, but I called their support line and was told that this chemical is not recommended in their sprayer. The HDX sprayer has an apparently high failure rate per its reviews, but the unit's low cost meant that needing two of them to finish the job wasn't a significant contributor to the total cost of the project. Concrete is expensive. For the record, the HDX sprayer did the job. - I applied two coats. The instructions with the sealant say to wait 10-15 minutes between coats. The new concrete absorbed the first coat so quickly that it appeared "dry" in places within 2-4 minutes. As work progressed I shortened the interval between coats to about five minutes. This worked very well. - Coverage was about 175 square feet/gallon, in line with the manufacturer's stated coverage. - The sealant pools easily, especially the second coat. I used paper towels to dab excess away as needed. - The sealant didn't change the color of the driveway. - The performance of this sealant is simply astonishing. Prior to application of the sealant, water would be absorbed by the porous concrete, which would become very dark when wet. After application, water beads and pools on top of the sealant and the concrete barely changes color. The seal on top of the concrete is so good that in cool weather and limited sunlight, water may still be pooled on the driveway 2-3 *days* after rainfall. - The only drawback is that leaves that fall onto the wet-for-a-long-time driveway have turned into tea leaves. I have leaf prints all over the driveway. <shrug>. I can live with that. I'm going to use this stuff to seal my 70-year-old chimney. It's great.

No complaints here. Was looking to seal newly installed pavers on patio but didn’t want that wet look. The matte finish is perfect. Several months since install and water sill beads up. Install was a breeze, used spryer and rolled out with dry roller. Coverage is spot on.

Bought Armor SX5000 WB to seal the stone floor and wall of my front entrance. Water base is easy to apply and no harmful smell. Soaks in very quickly and you need to apply the second coat immediately so it too will penetrate. Results: No change of stone color, good beading waterproofing. Good product.

I used this on my driveway 7 years ago and it's still working. My driveway was badly spalled and I just wanted to slow things down. Mission accomplished. A year ago I replaced about 200 square feet of my driveway and I just sealed it with this product. After using concrete soap and a brush to clean it I pressure washed it and let it dry for about a day and a half. I applied the sealer with a pump sprayer and used a brush to spread out a few small puddles. Within 3 hours the driveway looked the same as it did before it was sealed, i.e., this sealer didn't change the color and I had a nice even matte finish. Very easy to do as a DIY project.

Used on new brick and mortar covering for large old cement porch. Instructions for best results are clear. I used an air sprayer/paint gun to evenly spread the 2 coats of sealant suggested for best long term results. Clear, very obviously water repellent now. As I live in a northern, snowy climate, optimal brick sealant pays off. I use other less costly sealant for everyday cement, but considered the price good for this quality and life expectancy sealant.

Bought 13 gallons of this stuff for my FL concrete driveway. It’s easy to apply with sprayer but make sure you prep according to the instructions. It’s very satisfying watching the water bead up after it rains. I called their Customer service twice and they were very pleasant and extremely helpful.

I bought the water base sealer and applied it to my concrete griffen statues.These are made from concrete but becuase of the deatil in them they are not finshed to a perfectly smooth surface as is a driveway,at first I noticed the water was absorbing into the conrete in much of the areas,leaving only some water beads.I tested the surface with water spray 24 hours after i applied it.however,if I had waited one more day,I would have seen the water beaded up more.It needed more time to dry.I did apply a coat of the solvent base sealer over the water base and this really made a difference.now its 100 % protected and water is beading up everywhere.NO water absorbtion at all now.This stuff is awesome,Customer service guys explained everything to me.I had a very porus concrete material that acted like a spong sucking this stuff up.But I think the key here is waiting at least 48 hours for it to dry and depending on your surface you have it may require an extra coat so it fills up all the tiny holes.Im sure a concrete driveway would require much less of this product becuase the surface is much smoother and finished making for much less absorbtion.a great sealer.worth the cost.the customer sercice was incredibly helpful and stood by their product in every way and were a pleasure to deal with.I will buy from them again.great choice,IM super happy,thank you
