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.

Step Sealing
Review by Lenny(on 11/28/2017)Cleaned and applied the sealer per directions. Easy to apply. Dried and now the steps repel water so it is doing exactly what I want it to do. And should help in the winter with ice removal.
Excellent sealant. Easy to spray on. One coat coverage, colorless, no odor, water cleanup
Review by Teresa(on 11/28/2017)Excellent sealant. Easy to spray on. One coat coverage, colorless, no odor, water cleanup. I now have no more concrete dust footprints coming inside from my sidewalk. Definitely five stars!
I bought Foundation Armor siliconate water repellent to seal the 1970s concrete in our bedroom
Review by RemodelingForever(on 11/28/2017)I bought Foundation Armor siliconate water repellent to seal the 1970s concrete in our bedroom. The efflorescence was bad, and there was musty smell when we pulled up our wood floor. The product went on super easily, covered more than expected, had almost no smell and was easy to cleaned up. It was mostly dry within an hour, and completely dry within a few hours. It was so easy I wasn't sure if it had actually done anything! But the next day I tested out water, which beaded up and didn't soak in. This is my first time using the product, and I will probably use it again.
Works great, easy application, and starts working immediately. Highly suggest using a spray
Review by RonL(on 11/28/2017)Works great, easy application, and starts working immediately. Highly suggest using a spray for a uniform application vice the roller and paint brush.
Easy prep and easy to apply. Waterproofed my bluestone patio last month to prevent spalling
Review by DIY(on 11/28/2017)Easy prep and easy to apply. Waterproofed my bluestone patio last month to prevent spalling due to winter freeze/thaw. Will do my garage floor next (winter and salt is tough on concrete). Penetrates, so will not flake off; not just a surface treatment.
This product was exactly what we were looking for...super easy to apply....dried clear
Review by Tucker(on 11/28/2017)This product was exactly what we were looking for...super easy to apply....dried clear in a very short amount of time...but most important of all , repels water and seals out moisture...this product was used to stop a leak in the mortar joints of a chimney...since using this product ..it has rained and we have had no leaks....yeah!

Review by Charlie(on 11/28/2017)The gallon of Foundation Armor was delivered to Home Depot within 5 days for my pick up. Application was extremely easy using a garden sprayer. It applied clear on my brick wall which I want to seal for moisture penetration prevention. I have not experienced a hard rain yet but expect good results based on experiences of other users and reviews, The gallon covered the area it was supposed to as per specifications.
Mortar joints too large and did not help
Review by Joe(on 11/28/2017)We have old mortar joints and hoped this would work. The joints and cracks were too large to fix with a water repellent.
Great price, good value, works great
Review by Tim(on 11/28/2017)Great price, good value, works great.
Solution was extremely easy to apply with a hand-held sprayer
Review by Allen(on 11/28/2017)Solution was extremely easy to apply with a hand-held sprayer and easy to clean up. No need to invest in an expensive sprayer, unless you already have one. During first rain storm, water beaded on the driveway. Delivery was a few days earlier than projected. I am very satisfied with this product so far.
Nice watery mix!!!
Review by BigDipper(on 11/28/2017)Nice watery mix!!!
Great Service and product
Review by Kirk(on 9/1/2017)Foundation Armor's tech support was great, they helped me figure out the right product for a 20 year old aggregate patio and sidewalk, how to prep the concrete and repair the cracks. Their responsiveness was way beyond my expectation. The product went on easily and concrete looks terrific. I'm very satisfied.
Thanks
The product appears to be working as expected. I used this on brick veneer
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.
seems to work good
Review by chickenboy(on 7/6/2017)seems to work good
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...

Review by Cars2(on 6/16/2017)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 satin, 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.

Review by John1(on 6/16/2017)This is a great product. I'm using it to seal decorative brickwork on top of my parapet walls because they are serving as sponges to leak water into the house. The product applies easily and a little goes a long way. It hasn't rained yet so I haven't tested its effectiveness in action but sprinkling a small amount of water on it leads to quick beading up so, based on that and other reviews, I'm confident it will do the job. Quick service and delivery through Home Depot including a 10% off my next purchase coupon code.
Worked Well
Review by William M.(on 5/17/2017)I have applied the product and rate it 5 stars and can say that it went on easily and covered and penetrated well. I tested it after and water beads up on my flagstone patio and benches now- a success!
Good Product
Review by willyj(on 4/8/2017)used on brand new garage floor. easy to apply and water beads up on floor.
Not slippery when wet.....buying more product to seal swimming pool deck.
love the product
Review by Kimberly P.(on 6/3/2015)I love how my patio looks. The gloss is very stunning and my stamped concrete looks even better than it did before. I am very happy with this product.
Such a huge difference on my driveway!
Review by Heather Gordon(on 10/16/2014)I bought my house five years ago and every year I would have to hire a pressure washing company to come twice, once in the Spring and once in the Fall. I applied this product to my driveway, walkway and sidewalk in May and since then I have not had to clean my driveway once! This is a miracle product, it really is. My driveway almost looks new it is so clean, it works too well. Very happy with this product, I just bought more to seal my garage floor!
very happy with product, easy application
Review by G. MacDonald(on 10/16/2014)I am very pleased with this product and how easy it was to apply. This is probably the best brick sealer I have used in the past 10 years. It has kept my brick looking very clean and stopped a few minor leaks through the wall. The bead is very aggressive. I would recommend this product to anyone that has brick.
Great product!
Review by Paul Ingram(on 10/16/2014)My company spec'd this product in to use on our warehouse floor. It was very easy to apply, it stopped our dusting issue, and has thus far kept the concrete looking very clean. The guys who applied it used a sprayer, it took them about 2 hours to seal the entire warehouse (10,000 square feet). Thank you Josh for all of your help!
great value
Review by Kim Johnson(on 10/16/2014)Great product at a great price. I applied the product three months ago to my driveway and have since come back to purchase more product to use on my garage floor. This product beads everything - not just water. I haven't had any leaf stains on my driveway and I haven't had any signs of mold growth. I am more than pleased with this product, and this company.
great product, great customer service
Review by Ronald Decker(on 10/16/2014)I am very happy with the customer service. Mike was very helpful when I was researching products. I am very happy with this product and how it beads water. It was very easy to apply. There was very little odor and it dried fast.
Great Product and Fast Shipping
Review by Sabrina Y.(on 10/16/2014)Great product, very happy with how easy it was to apply and how fast the product shipped.
