Water Based Siliconate
The Armor SC25 is a high solids, water-based siliconate water repellent sealer that penetrates deep into the concrete surface where it fuses with the substrate to form a cross-linked hydrophobic barrier within the pores. Surfaces sealed with the Armor SC25 are more resistant to the damaging effects of water absorption and salt damage. It is a fantastic sealer for unsealed white and light concrete surfaces.
Benefits:
Surface Preparation:
The Armor SC25 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 SC25 to a test area to verify absorption, coverage, compatibility, and project suitability.
The Armor SC25 is designed specifically for unsealed white or light concrete 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. Do not apply this product to medium to dark concrete, or any other type of masonry.
Application:
A commercial pump sprayer is recommend to achieve best coverage and results. Be sure the psi is no greater than 20. Use a .3-.5 GPM adjustable cone tip.
Apply one coat of Armor SC25, ensuring the entire surface is evenly saturated. Broom out puddles until surface is penetrated. Do not attempt to apply a second coat.
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 SC25 penetrates deep into to the surface. Removal is not recommended.
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.
The Armor SC25 is designed specifically to be used on unsealed white or very light concrete 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. It can’t be applied to medium to dark gray concrete, colored concrete, brick, exposed aggregate concrete, slate, flagstone, masonry, or anything other than white or very light concrete. Applying the Armor SC25 outside of the suggested application will result in the formation of white crystals on the surface that can only be removed through mechanical grinding.
If you are looking for a water repellent sealer for unsealed medium gray concrete, red clay brick, natural stone, or other masonry, consider instead the Armor SX5000 WB.
The Armor SC25 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 when properly applied.
When properly applied, the Armor SC25 can last up to 3-5 years before the need for a recoat.
While the Armor SC25 is designed to out-last and out-perform similar products on the market, there are several factors that can impact actual product life including the severity of surface abrasion and level of foot traffic, the porosity of the concrete, and other factors. Some surfaces need to be sealed every year, while others can go a few years without sealing.
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 in the surface pores. Once the resin build-up goes away, so will the bead. The Armor SC25 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.
