The Armor AR350 is a solvent based wet look acrylic concrete sealer that can be used to seal interior and exterior concrete and pavers. The durable, non-yellowing low gloss finish offers superior resistance to rain, the sun, cold and hot climates, stains and more. When applied to dull or faded surfaces it will help to enhance the natural characteristics by darkening the surfaces. It can be applied to unsealed surfaces or to surfaces previously sealed with a solvent based acrylic sealer.

Solvent acrylics like the AR350 may reduce surface friction when wet. When in doubt, use Armor Non-slip on the final coat. It's a granular material that turns clean when either mixed into the sealer or sprinkled and back rolled.
Using a paint shaker is not recommended. The AR350 has a lower viscosity than other coatings such as latex paint. If the sealer sits in storage for months, you can stick mix or slow drill mix for a minute. The sealer is frequently batched, so there's really no need to mix or shake recently delivered orders. You can slosh a bucket of sealer back and forth several times and let it rest for 15 minutes before using if you'd like to play it safe (usually overkill).
The AR350 can be applied with a commercial grade pump sprayer (such as the Armor sprayer) rated for solvent acrylics. These sprayers typically hold 2 to 3 gallons of sealer, are fitted with chemical resistant seals and have 1 gallon per minute nozzle (1 G.P.M). Even if the sealer is sprayed, it's a good idea to keep a 3/8 to 1/2 inch nap roller on hand to back roll as the sealer is being applied.
Coverage varies depending on surface porosity. On an unsealed/absorbent surface, a gallon usually covers around 100 square feet with two coats. Coverage will increase on denser/less porous surfaces. If you are recoating over an existing solvent acrylic, you might only need one coat and a gallon could cover 250+ square feet.
The AR350 is not recommended for chattahoochie stone surfaces.
It is possible to apply the AR350 solvent acrylic over the SX5000 on a rough/porous surface (example: pavers). If the SX5000 was recently applied and currently puddles or beads water, consider waiting a season to let the more superficial sealer wear down (residual sealer on surface from application).
Salt may cause delamination of acrylic sealer in areas if it gets below the coating. Foundation Armor does offer the AX25 which infuses silicone into acrylic for better salt resistance.
While the AR350 is commonly used on exposed aggregate(concrete with pebbles), it's not recommended for use on larger natural stones. The sealer is more predictable on concrete and may delaminate or haze white when applied to natural stone.
