About This Product

The Armor SX5000 WB is a proprietary water-based Silane-Siloxane water repellent and impregnating sealer for concrete and masonry surfaces. It penetrates and chemically bonds deep within the substrate to form a hydrophobic barrier within the pores. It provides long lasting protection against deterioration or staining caused by water absorption, salt and freeze-thaw cycles. Once sealed, substrate become less susceptible to cracking, spalling, pitting, staining, mold, mildew, algae and efflorescence. The Armor SX5000 will not impair the natural breathing characteristics of treated substrates, nor will it produce a film or coating.

Questions & Answers

Is this product foamy when spread around? I’ve had sealer that is much easier to spread out and work around that’s foamy in the past, whereas another sealer I have currently is more “watery” and does not apply easily, especially on vertical surfaces.

Answer This Question

Hi Kecaps! I would not consider this material to be foamy. It is water-based so it will have a similar consistency to water. I'm not sure what products or chemicals you have used in the past, but the SX5000 WB is great for use on vertical surfaces. We suggest using a HVLP pump sprayer for a nice consistent application. We do have 16 ounce samples available if you'd like to try the product out before purchasing a larger quantity.

        does it come in a satin finish
        ByApr 25, 2026
        1 Answer | 
        Answer This Question

        The SX5000WB is a penetrating sealer and only comes in a natural finish (no gloss, no color enhancement). Concrete sealers such as the WB15 typically provide a low gloss finish.

          What is the preferred method of application
          ByApr 20, 2026
          1 Answer | 
          Answer This Question

          It's best to apply the SX5000WB with a 2 to 3 gallon garden pump sprayer fitted with a .5GPM fan nozzle or an adjustable cone nozzle. Try not to puddle the sealer while applying. Consider keeping a push broom on hand to disburse any accidental puddles. It's recommended that you test a small area prior to full application to confirm a natural appearance and feel.

            Can this product be applied with an airless sprayer?
            ByApr 18, 2026
            1 Answer | 
            Answer This Question

            The SX5000WB is best applied around 20 psi with a .5GPM nozzle. An airless sprayer can atomize the sealer which may reduce the amount of sealer entering the substrate. Airless sprayer application is not recommended.

              If using a pump can, is it fine if overspray gets in your pool water?
              ByApr 18, 2026
              1 Answer | 
              Answer This Question

              It's best to protect your pool water as much as possible from overspray. Some of our customers use a sheet of cardboard as a barrier or have a pool floatie with cardboard (next to the coping) to catch overspray. A very small amount of accidental overspray is not an issue.

                The SX5000WB cannot be tinted.

                  Works Like A Champ
                  I purchased this sealer in October. I am a fan, this stuff works. I have attached photos that show how you can easily differentiate between what was sprayed and what was not, as I totally missed an area unbeknownst to me. My second picture shows how the rain bubbles up on top of the concrete, the sealer not allowing the rain to absorb. I used a battery powered sprayer and did two coats

                    Easy to apply and beading water like crazy a couple months after putting it down. 8 year old driveway in good condition was first cleaned with oxalic acid and well rinsed. Two days of dry weather later it was sealed using a Chapin “clean N seal” sprayer. Any pooling was immediately brushed around with a push broom. Results are excellent. Longevity is the only question, but reviews indicate I’ll be pleased.

                    It seemed to work well enough, but it was hard to apply evenly, even with a pump sprayer. The result was a very spotty appearance.

                    Good packaging and easy to apply
                    We ordered a 5 gallon container on line to seal our new concrete patio. The product arrived well packaged in a box with easy to follow directions. The container featured a resealable spout that made it easy to fill our sprayer. Product was easy to apply in two coats. We noticed water beading up on the concrete a few days later. Hopefully the sealer will protect our new patio for years to come.

                      Liked the product!
                      The product was easy to apply, did not change the look of the patio slabs as promised and we are very happy with the results. My husband did it himself, approx. 1,000SF patio. It rained for the first time after we used the sealer and it was visible how the water was pulling and not absorbing through the slabs. Thank you Foundation Armor!

                        Highly recommend this sealer!
                        I reviewed different sealers before purchasing Foundation Armor. First, I really appreciated the helpful tips on the card. Also included were concise instructions (on a separate sheet of paper) that were easier to read than looking at tiny print on the back of the sealer bottle. Application was easy with an inexpensive pump sprayer. The sealer I ordered (Natual/Matte/Clear) did not change the look of the concrete and flagstone and works great! I will definitely use this product again when needed.

                          Nice day in the sun
                          Got an estimate to clean and seal our paver driveway. The contractor warned me against DIY, said it is very expensive to hire him to clean up after a job gone wrong and that it took expertise only a pro has to do it right. So I did my research into products and techniques and decided that I could DIY. I chose Foundation Armor SX5000WB based on product reviews, comparisons with other products and the crystal clear instructions for surface preparation and application. Another benefit of DIY is the attention to detail not offered by the contractor. I leveled a few errant pavers and used a concrete crack filler in the joint between the pavers and the sidewalk and garage apron to prevent accumulation of crud. So, with the purchase of a pressure washer, sprayer, the sand and sealer the cost was less than 1/3 of the contractor price and I get to keep the pressure washer for general maintenance chores. The product application was easier than I expected and the result was fabulous. Three of my neighbors went with the contractor but admitted they see no difference between my DIY and the pro. I would definitely go this route again.

                            Just to show difference of with product and without. It works so good. Farther part of driveway is treated and closest is without foundation armor . I would recommend this product. It doesn't change the color of the driveway.

                            Excellent Product
                            This product is easy to apply and does an excellent job of sealing new concrete. I used a roller to apply. A five-gallon bucket was plenty for two coats on my large driveway with some left over. I like it!

                              I used this sealer on my concrete patio and retaining wall after staining with BEHR Semi transparent concrete stain. I used this product because I did not like the reviews on the BEHR Sealer. The Patio and retaining wall does not absorb water at all. From what I can tell, they work fine together. No issues
