Details
The Armor SX5000 WB is a water based Silane Siloxane water repellent sealer that penetrates deep into the surface where it chemically reacts to form a hydrophobic barrier within the pores. The hydrophobic barrier, which can last for up to 10 years, will reduce surface water absorption by up to 95%. Surfaces sealed with the Armor SX5000 WB instantly become more resistant to the damaging effects of water absorption, such as cracking, spalling, pitting, freeze thaw and ice damage, staining, mold and mildew growth, and the formation of efflorescence. Approved by the Department of Transportation in several states, the Armor SX5000 is designed to protect the surface without changing its natural, unsealed look.

Amazing Performance
Review by Bob Sliney(on 7/9/2017)A 1960's poured concrete bluestone terrace over a two car garage presented severe leaking, stalactites etc in a home we recently purchased. Upon a mason's recommendation I skeptically purchased SX5000WB, applied it and waited for the rain. To my utter amazement the garage remained dry and no leaking was evident. I'm a believer and strong proponent of this product.
This product contain Silane-Siloxane which will, as I understand it, help prevent water
Review by Cars2(on 7/6/2017)This product contain Silane-Siloxane which will, as I understand it, help prevent water from penetrating the stamped concrete.
This product went on easy with a sprayer, clear, and dried to a natural, non-slippery finish. Any water applied to this finished walkway, now beads up and appears not to penetrate. This should help prevent any spalling when the temperature drops below freezing this coming winter.
The products been down about a month. We will see in the spring how well it helped to slow down any winter damage.
Along with this sealer I purchased a hand pump sprayer and the application was extremely easy
Review by LCM(on 7/6/2017)Along with this sealer I purchased a hand pump sprayer and the application was extremely easy. I applied the sealer to my brick patio and it went on cleanly and was absorbed rather quickly. Because I wanted to apply 2 coats I applied the first coat in sections as to not allow it to dry before applying the second coat.
Easy to apply and results immediately apparent on drying -- water beads up on surface.
Review by Bill(on 7/6/2017)Easy to apply and results immediately apparent on drying -- water beads up on surface. A great product that works as claimed.
My chimney repair contractor recommended Siloxane as a water repellant for my 60 year old brick
Review by ekm55(on 7/6/2017)My chimney repair contractor recommended Siloxane as a water repellant for my 60 year old brickwork. I checked a mason supply house but they only sold 5 gallon containers so I called around and found I could special order 1 gallon cans through Home Depot. It was almost $70.00 per gallon so I am seriously hoping it is great stuff.
I applied it with a brush, being careful to follow application directions, it was thin, like milk and drippy so use a good drop cloth...a roller is a BAD choice if you are going over brick on a vertical surface, a sprayer might be a good idea but too much surface prep for my small project and you will need a chemical mask.
Following up on a second coat was where I started to see the product in action because the liquid product started to "resist" adhesion on the second application.... I can tell it will be a great sealer for old brick. I will know more in the fall when I go up on the roof again to clean my gutters! I do wonder how long the sealer will last or if I will have to re-coat the bricks annually...
seems to work good
Review by chickenboy(on 7/6/2017)Seems to work good
The product appears to be working as expected.
Review by JimK(on 7/6/2017)The product appears to be working as expected. I used this on brick veneer that had over time (75 yrs) become porous to a degree. The coverage claimed is no where near what I was able to get thus the loss of one star. I was only able to get 80 - 85 sq feet of double application coverage (vs expected 100 - 125). It's still worth it as long as it holds up.
BEST PRODUCT SUPPORT
Review by Elaine Colokathis(on 5/3/2017)The technical customer service was excellent in helping us determine the right product , order processing was also exceptional, they held our shipment until our contractor was ready. They also supported the contractor with application guidance over the phone.
Good job!
Review by Gary Brockhouse (on 5/3/2017)I spoke with the technical folks and they were great. Very helpful, knowledgeable and answered my questions. I placed an order and it showed up exactly as expected. I haven't sealed my driveway yet as it got too cold, but can't wait for spring.
Very easy company to work with, good job and thank you!

great customer suppor team
Review by Paula G(on 11/24/2014)I am very impressed with the customer service. The staff is very friendly and the technicians are very helpful. Tanya was a great help when I was researching which product to purchase. I needed a driveway sealer and I am very happy I went with this product. I was easy for me to apply and it dried very fast. I look forward to seeing how it performs this winter.
great product
Review by Kennedy S. (on 11/24/2014)Great product, works well. Easy to apply.
very satisfied customer
Review by Howard J. Kent(on 11/24/2014)I am a contractor in New Jersey. I have been pressure washing and sealing the sides of buildings for about 10 years now. Since I switched over to this line I have had a 52% increase in business just from referrals. The product outlasts and outperforms all other water repellents I have tried. It has helped with freeze thaw and salt damage, it has helped with staining, and it has helped with minor leaks through brick walls. My customers are very happy with this product as am I. I can't say enough good things about the performance of this product, or about the customer service. Mike and Eric have always been very helpful. Mark is a pleasure to work with as well. I look forward to a lasting relationship with your company!
Used on garage floor
Review by Ben(on 11/4/2014)Sprayed the product on my garage floor in MN two years ago to protect from water and salt. So far so good, I'm pleased with the product performance.
Used it to reduce dusting
Review by Art(on 11/4/2014)My business has old brick walls that were faded and dusty. Applied a couple coats of the SX5000WB and it stopped the dusting and slightly enhanced the brick color which looks much better than the "old faded brick look." I highly recommend this product.
Zero VOC Sealer
Review by Samantha(on 10/24/2014)I applied this product to my basement walls and it did a great job reducing moisture/dampness. I was grateful for this option because I needed an odorless sealer for a confined space without windows or a door.
