Product Description DOT Approved In Several States Armor SX5000 WB Water-Based Silane Siloxane Sealer for Concrete & Masonry
The Armor SX5000 WB is a penetrating water-based Silane-Siloxane sealer. It penetrates deep into the substrate where it chemically reacts to form a barrier within the pores that reduces surface water absorption by up to 95%. It will not change the look or color of the substrate, and it won't leave a visible surface film.
Contains up to 5X more active ingredients than similar products on the market.
Works entirely below the surface; won't leave a film or coating.

Easy to Apply, Long Lasting
The Armor SX5000 WB can easily be applied with a roller or sprayer. Once fully cured, it can last for up to 7-10 years before the need to reseal!

Won't Change The Look or Color
The Armor SX5000 WB works entirely below the surface. It won't leave a slippery or visible surface film, and it won't change the look or color.

Breathable, UV Resistant
The Armor SX5000 WB is breathable and UV resistant. It will never yellow, peel, flake, or fade because it works entirely below the surface.

Reduces Water Absorption
The Armor SX5000 WB will reduce the absorption of surface water and other liquids by up to 95%, reducing damage caused by water absorption and salt.

Reduces Surface Stains
The Armor SX5000 WB reduces the absorption of water and other liquids by up to 95%. It helps keep liquids closer to the surface for easier cleaning.

Reduces Salt Damage
The Armor SX5000 WB will reduce damage caused by water absorption from the use of de-icing salts.

Reduces Surface Growth
The Armor SX5000 WB will reduce organic growths on the surface.

Reduces Cracking
The Armor SX5000 WB will reduce damage caused by freeze-thaw cycles and water absorption such as cracking, spalling, and pitting.
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.
