Concrete sealers fall under one of two categories, solvent based or water based. With solvent based sealers, the polymer chains entangle and with water based sealers the polymer chains deform and fuse together. With both types of sealers the end result is a continuous coating. 

1. Solvent Based Concrete Sealers

2. Concrete sealers fall under one of two categories, solvent
based or water based. With solvent based sealers, the
polymer chains entangle and with water based sealers
the polymer chains deform and fuse together. With both
types of sealers the end result is a continuous
coating. Which type of sealer to use is dependent on
several factors:
1. Preference – Many contractors, and even
homeowners, simply have a preference.
2. VOC Content – Solvent based sealers have a higher
VOC content than water based sealers, but many
solvent based sealers are available in VOC.
3. Price – Solvent based sealers tend to be priced slightly
higher than water based sealers.

3. Foundation Armor Sealers
Armor AR350 – The Armor AR350 Satin Sheen
sealer is a penetrating, low VOC, solvent based
100% enhanced acrylic lacquer designed to protect
your decorative concrete and provide it with a soft
satin sheen. The Armor AR350 Satin Sheen is fast
drying, non-yellowing and provides excellent
resistance to rain, sun, freezing temperatures,
stains and other pollutants.

4. Armor AR500 – The Armor AR500 Clear Gloss
Coat sealer is a high solids, low VOC, solvent
based 100% acrylic lacquer designed to protect
your decorative concrete and provide it with a
high gloss shine. The Armor AR500 Clear Gloss
Coat is fast drying, non-yellowing, and provides
excellent resistance to rain, sun, freezing
temperatures, stains, and other pollutants.

5. The Armor SX5000 is a low-VOC, solvent based
silane/siloxane based water repellent for concrete,
cinderblock (CMU), brick, and unglazed tile. The Armor
SX5000 penetrates and reacts with minerals within the
substrate to create a hydrophobic barrier against water
absorption.
Solvent based silane-siloxane sealers have been proven to
bond better, last longer, and perform better than water
based silane/siloxane sealers!

6. Armor S1000, S2000 and L3000 – Water based water proofers and
densifiers. Armor concrete sealers are proprietary chemical solutions
that react with the Calcium Hydroxide in the concrete to produce
Calcium Silicate Hydrate (CSH); the same material that is produced in
the reaction between Portland cement and water, giving the concrete
much of its strength.
Our chemistry is inorganic with no VOC’s. There is nothing to wear out,
scratch or peel. Once sealed, the concrete will have an increased
strength of up to 45% and will be resistant to abrasion, water, and
chemicals.

7. Armor AE Fusion Gloss – The Armor AE Fusion
Gloss is a penetrating and breathable, water-
based epoxy infused acrylic that provides a
superior high gloss finish to a multitude of
interior horizontal or vertical concrete and
masonry finishes.

8. Armor Polyaspartic – The Armor Polyaspartic
Coating is a low odor, two-component
Polyaspartic Aliphatic Polyuria coating which
utilizes an innovative, proprietary Nano-
technology .
