How To Apply

Surface Preparation:

The Armor SX5000 WB should be applied to a completely clean and dry surface. If the surface was cleaned with water or pressure washed prior to application, allow the surface to dry for at least 24 hours before sealing. While the surface may appear dry and feel dry to touch, water below the surface trapped in the pores can cause the same issues. While pressure washing the surface is typically sufficient, spot treatment may be necessary for deep or older stains. If the surface is smooth troweled, or does not easily accept water, acid etching may be required prior to applying sealer. It is always suggested to apply the Armor SX5000 WB to a test area to verify absorption, coverage, compatibility, and project suitability.

The Armor SX5000 WB is designed specifically for unsealed concrete and masonry surfaces. Do not apply this product over a surface recently sealed with a penetrating sealer, or previously sealed with a film-forming sealer or coating. The Armor SX5000 WB can be applied over surfaces treated with a Silicate sealer so long as it has been at least 7 days. It can also be re-applied to a surface previously treated with a Silane-Siloxane sealer so long as it has been a few years, and the surface is able to quickly and easily absorb water.

Application: A commercial pump sprayer is recommended to achieve the best coverage and results. Be sure the psi is no greater than 20. Use a .3-.5 GPM adjustable cone tip. Sprayer Suggestion: Armor Industrial Sprayer, ASIN B0CDXT17PD.

Apply the first coat of Armor SX5000 WB, ensuring the entire surface is evenly saturated. Wait at least 10-15 minutes, then apply the second coat. Do not flood the surface or allow puddles to form, this will result in over application and the formation of dark spots on the surface. Less porous surfaces, such as bluestone, flagstone, and slate, may only require one coat.

Substrates sealed with Armor SX5000 WB may be coated with silicone emulsion paints and many oil based paints once the surface has had 72 hours to dry. Testing is always necessary and recommended to assure proper adhesion. Adhesion may be improved if the surface is pressure washed and allowed to dry prior to application. Armor SX5000 WB is not a paint primer. Adhesion of cementitious coatings, stucco, plaster, etc., may be adversely affected. These types of substrate treatments should be installed and allowed to fully cure before applying Armor SX5000 WB. Always test to verify compatibility.

Time of Day: The temperature of the air and surface must be 55-85 degrees F during application. If freezing conditions exist prior to application, it is highly recommended that the substrate be allowed to fully thaw. Should this recommendation not be followed, the product may not yield adequate protective properties.

Once applied, the surface should be kept dry for at least 24 hours.

Clean-Up: Use warm water and soap. Dispose of containers in accordance with local and federal regulations.

Product Removal: Armor SX5000 WB penetrates deep into to the surface. Removal is not recommended.

Up to 175 FT2/gallon In One Coat

Coverage

Porous Surfaces: Up to 175 FT2/gallon in one coat.

Smooth Surfaces (once properly prepped): Up to 200-225 FT2/gallon in one coat.

Coverage will vary depending on porosity, surface condition, application method, and the amount of material applied by the applicator. The above coverage rates are estimates and will vary. Two coats are suggested for even coverage and appearance. Less porous surfaces, such as bluestone, flagstone, and slate, may only require one coat.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the Armor SX5000 and Armor SX5000 WB?

The Armor SX5000 and Armor SX5000 WB offer identical benefits when it comes to life and performance. Whether or not you choose to apply the Armor SX5000 or Armor SX5000 WB will depend on whether you prefer a water-based sealer or a solvent-based sealer.

How long does the "bead" last?

Surface water beading will not occur on all surfaces. While some surfaces may experience an instantaneous bead, others won’t experience a surface water bead at all. Surface water beading is not a sealer benefit. Surface water bead is caused from resin build-up on the surface. Once the resin build-up goes away, so will the bead. The Armor SX5000 WB is designed to work entirely below the surface so its benefits are made visible through performance. You will find sealed surfaces dry faster, are easier to clean, and experience less damage caused by freeze-thaw cycles and de-icing salts.

Will it make the surface slippery?

The Armor SX5000 WB does not leave behind a surface film and does not change the surface traction of the substrate. If the surface was non-slip before being sealed, it will remain non-slip after being sealed.

Will it give a wet look or gloss?

No, the Armor SX5000 WB will not give you a wet look or gloss. The Armor SX5000 WB will not change the look or color and you surface will look exactly as it did before being sealed. If you want a wet look sealer, consider the Armor WL550, Armor AR350, Armor WB25, or Armor AR500.

Excellent sealant! Absorbs well, easy to apply, looks awesome. This project is part of oudoor summer kitchen using multiple types of natural bluestone, pavers and cement wall blocks. This sealer worked on all areas and you would not know it was there. Very low smell. Sprays well with hand pump, easy cleanup.

Easy to apply. I used a 18" thick fuzz roller for application and a large rectangular bucket for the liquid. Clean up with soap and water. Wear gloves during application. Liquid is translucent white and then clear on the concrete. Not very thick, easy to spread. I probably spread more on in one coat using a roller than if used a sprayer. Did 2nd coat on stamped concrete areas but it needed very little.Ever so slightly more shiny after it dries than the concrete had been, even though it says matte finish, but really just looks "finished" and new looking. And the concrete needed to be sealed so was worn out.Applied it onto colored stamped concrete pool patio, walkways, terraces, and staircases; and on pebbled concrete sidewalks - all in Indiana. Did well after a year, supposed to last many years. Dripping after swimming in the pool also revealed a sealed surface but is never slippery to walk barefoot on.Made pressure washing easier this year, less dirt accumulated.Used on an outdoor porch floor made of pinkish beige concrete pavers in Florida and a regular gray concrete sidewalk. Plan to do the whole concrete driveway next winter.Rain pools in small droplets once the sealant dries.Like that it is not a surface sealant, rather penetrating, and the type of chemicals used by federal DOT on highways.Have bought more than 4 large containers (5 gallons each) in the past year or so. Pleased with the results. Price point better than similar chemicals from other companies.

This product does an absolutely amazing job at sealing concrete. Our driveway is aging, but after a proper power washing and applying this, it looks new again. Application is straightforward and easy. The directions are clear and when applied correctly, the concrete is basically waterproof. We are in a heavily wooded area so we get tons of sticks, twigs, leaves and other natural debris that degrades into the small pieces inviting other growth on the drive constantly. Naturally, it adheres to the concrete and darkens it over time. With this, the stuff washes off with a hose and the water runs off of it. We couldn't be happier with this product! We've tried 3 other products over the decades we've lived here, but this is the one that works!

I applied this to some masonry/stone work on some post piers and vertical retaining wall. I used the sx5000WB. I applied it with a brush due to the vertical nature of it. Very easy to apply. As they advise, apply second coat about 10-15 minutes after the first, it will still have a somewhat wet appearance on masonry while the stones appeared dry. If you wait longer it will not be absorbed and just beads up and runs off. Done as advised the second coat will be absorbed and be effective. As my project was somewhat large I would do what I could for a 10-15 minute window and then return to that start and apply the second coat. It sheds water just as well as the pictures demonstrate. There was no obnoxious odor with the water based and they say it’s as effective as the solvent based. If it lasts the 7-10 years it states, it will be really great. Couldn’t have been easier, water clean up of brushes and very happy with results so far.

I have a 20 year old house with a long, steep driveway. Unfortunately previous owners used chemical de-icers on the concrete which resulted in a fair amount of spalling (aka scaling). I received a credit to replace the driveway but I wanted to put that off for a few years but I also wanted to slow the process down so I did some research and found that this type of sealer was by far the best and lasted the longest. My home inspector suggested a commercially available sealer that you can find at any big box home improvement store but the reviews on it, and others like it, weren't encouraging (he suggested Thompson's).I got a five gallon container which proved to be just enough to coat my driveway down to the street. I mixed it up a bit by rolling it and turning it upside down in case any of the ingredients separated during storage. I really liked that the container includes a pull out pouring spout; it was a dripless experience.I used a common two gallon pump sprayer that I use for gardening work. The sealer is white but goes on clear. The consistency is much like water so it was dispersed by my sprayer without any problem. Applying it couldn't have been easier and I was able to lay down all five gallons in about 30-40 minutes.Before using this sealer I tested a section of the driveway by pouring a cup of water on the surface. Virtually all of the water was absorbed by the concrete. I had some runoff but I think it was just because I was pouring faster than the concrete could absorb it. A day after I applied the sealer I repeated the test on the same spot and didn't have any absorption. I was surprised and repeated the test a few more times in other areas and got the same results. Will it still do that seven to ten years from now? I have no idea but I have no doubt that it will significantly slow down the spalling that I'm seeing in my driveway because the water can't penetrate, then freeze, then thaw the concrete and cause it to break apart.I need to point out that for the most part you'd never know that I put a sealer on the driveway. However, I do have some dark spots. These are mostly along the contraction/control joints. It looks OK but it is noticeable.
