Description: The Armor SX5000 is a Department of Transportation approved penetrating water repellent sealer. It penetrates deep into the substrate where it chemically reacts to form a hydrophobic barrier within the pores that reduces surface water absorption by up to 95%. The Armor SX5000 is made from high quality, non-recycled, US manufactured resins. It is designed for unsealed concrete, brick, pavers, natural stone, and porous masonry. It works entirely below the surface, won’t change the look or color of the substrate, and won’t leave a surface film. By reducing surface water absorption, cracking, spalling, pitting, mold, mildew, algae, staining, and other damage and deterioration caused by surface water absorption will also be reduced.Frequently Asked Question:What is the difference between the Armor SX5000 and the Armor SX5000 WB? The life and performance benefits of the Armor SX5000 and the Armor SX5000 WB are identical. The active materials in both are also the same. The only difference is the active material is suspended in solvent with the Armor SX5000, and suspended in water with the Armor SX5000 WB. We manufacture both to satisfy all customer preferences. The Armor SX5000 WB is the most popular simply because it doesn't have any odors, cleanup is with soap and water, and doesn't require any special application equipment.Interested in the Armor SX5000 WB?

It can’t be applied to surfaces recently applied with a water repellent sealer, or surfaces previously sealed with a film-forming sealer or coating.AppearanceThe Armor SX5000 is designed to work entirely below the surface. It will not change the look or color of the substrate and it will not leave a visible surface film.If you are looking for a wet look, low gloss, or high gloss, consider instead the Armor WL550 for a matte wet look, the Armor AR350 for a low gloss wet look, or the Armor AR500 for a high gloss wet look.Product LifeWhen properly applied, the Armor SX5000 can provide up to 7-10 years of life on an exterior surface before the need to recoat.Water Bead: 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 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.Shipping & ReturnsThis product ships FedEx HAZMAT. A DIRECT signature is required for delivery. There are no returns or exchanges for this product. Samples are available if you'd like to try before purchasing for your convenience. How To Apply:The Armor SX5000 should be applied with a solvent/acetone resistant HVLP pump sprayer. For best results, avoid applying with a roller. For consistent coverage, two coats should be applied back to back, while the surface is still wet.Time of DayTo allow for proper absorption and reaction, the Armor SX5000 should only be applied in the early evening (around 5 PM or later) when air and surface temperatures are declining, and when the sun is no longer positioned over the surface.Surface PreparationThe Armor SX5000 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 to a test area to verify absorption, coverage, compatibility, and project suitability.The Armor SX5000 is designed specifically for unsealed concrete and masonry surfaces. Do not apply this product over a surface recently sealed with a water repellent sealer, or previously sealed with a film-forming sealer or coating.For complete application instructions and safety data, please refer to the Technical Data Sheet and SDS Sheet. 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.
