2. Let us help you find the best concrete sealer for
your job or project!
3. Industrial Concrete Floors
•
If the concrete floor has moisture issues, the Armor SX5000 or Armor SX5000
WB are the best choices. They fill in the pores of the concrete or brick with liquid
and as that liquid chemically reacts it transforms into a solid. The Armor SX5000
and Armor SX5000 WB stop 100% of water and moisture for up to 10+ years. If the
concrete floor has a greater need for chemical resistance, densification, or if the
floor will be polished, the Armor L3000 concrete sealer may be a better choice
simply because of its superior hardening and densification properties. If you need
a coating, the Armor Polyaspartic Coating is a great alternative to epoxy and
polyurethane based coatings.
4. Concrete With Active Water Seepage
and Moisture Issues
• For best results, all Foundation Armor sealers should
be used on dry, properly repaired and cleaned surfaces.
In many cases our sealers can be used on concrete with
high moisture readings and/or active water
seepage, but dilution ratios and application
instructions may need to be changed or adjusted.
5. Concrete Pavers
•
Like with interior concrete, which sealer you use is dependent on why you want to
seal it. If your concrete pavers have moisture issues, or if you plan on applying a
Satin Sheen (Armor AR350) or high gloss (Armor AR500) coating, you want to first
apply the Armor SX5000 or Armor SX5000 WB. These sealers will protect the
pavers, and the coating, from water and moisture coming up through the pavers. If
you want a sealer that will strengthen the concrete and protect it from the
elements (chemical stains, tree stains, salt and freeze-thaw damage, animal
urine, etc.), the Armor L3000 concrete sealer is designed to densify the concrete
and provide excellent chemical resistance.
6. Poured Concrete Driveway
•
Like with pavers, you have a few choices. If your concrete driveway has moisture
issues, or if you plan on applying a Satin Sheet (Armor AR350) or high gloss (Armor
AR500) coating, you want to first apply the Armor SX5000 or Armor SX5000 WB.
These sealers will protect the concrete driveway, and the coating, from water and
moisture coming up through the pavers. If you want a sealer that will strengthen
the concrete and protect it from the elements (chemical stains, tree stains, salt
and freeze-thaw damage, animal urine, etc.), the Armor L3000 concrete sealer is
designed to densify the concrete and provide excellent chemical resistance.
7. Stamped Concrete
• If your stamped concrete has moisture issues, or if you plan on applying a
Satin Sheet (Armor AR350) or high gloss (Armor AR500) coating, you want
to first apply the Armor SX5000 or Armor SX5000 WB. These sealers will
protect your stamped concrete, and the coating, from water and moisture
coming up through the pavers. If you want a sealer that will strengthen
the concrete and protect it from the elements (chemical stains, tree
stains, salt and freeze-thaw damage, animal urine, etc.), the Armor L3000
concrete sealer is designed to densify the concrete and provide excellent
chemical resistance.
8. Poured Concrete Basements
• If you don’t currently have water or moisture issues and
are looking for a preventative sealer, the Armor S1000 and
Armor S2000 sealers are the most appropriate. If you have
high levels of moisture in your basement, you want to use a
water repellent like the Armor SX5000 or Armor SX5000
WB.
9. Garage Floor
• To strengthen and protect a garage floor, you
want to use the Armor L3000 concrete sealer.
If your garage floor has water or moisture
issues you want to use the Armor SX5000 or
Armor SX5000 WB. To protect your garage
from chemical stains you can use the Armor
L3000 alone or apply a coating such as the
Armor Polyaspartic Coating (stronger
alternative to epoxies) or the Armor AE Fusion
gloss.
10. Concrete Ponds
•
There are two reasons why you would want to use a sealer on a concrete pond: 1)
to strengthen and protect the concrete or 2) to keep the water from escaping.
Silicate based sealers are great for strengthening the concrete, especially the
Armor L3000 concrete sealer, but silicate sealers are “breathable sealers.” They are
strong enough to stop temporary exposure to water, and constant exposure to
moisture, but they are not designed to hold water in. The best solution for a
concrete pond is to first apply the Armor L3000 concrete sealer, then to apply a
coating, liner, or other type of material designed to hold water.
11. Exposed Aggregate
• To help protect the aggregate from
moisture, you want to use the Armor SX5000
or Armor SX5000 WB sealers. If you want a
Satin Sheen, apply the Armor AR350, or if you
want a high gloss apply the Armor AR500.
12. Cinderblocks
• Cinderblocks are hollow and very porous and for
that reason, you want to use the Armor SX5000
or Armor SX5000 WB. They fill in the pores with a
material that when chemically activated, turns
into a solid. The Armor SX5000 or Armor SX5000
WB stop 100% of water and moisture while at the
same time allowing the cinderblocks to breathe.
