Armor SX5000
- Chemical Family
- Siloxanes
Armor SX5000 is a department of transportation approved solvent-based Silane-Siloxane water repellent sealer that penetrates deep into the concrete surface where it chemically reacts to form a hydrophobic barrier within the pores. Surfaces sealed with the Armor SX5000 are more resistant to the damaging effects of water absorption, such as cracking, spalling, pitting, freeze thaw and salt damage, staining, mold and mildew, and efflorescence. It can be applied to interior and exterior, vertical and horizontal unsealed surfaces.
