Armor WL550

The Armor WL550 is a professional-grade solvent-based water repellent concrete sealer that is designed to slightly enhance and protect concrete, brick, natural stone, and masonry. Made from non-recycled US-manufactured resins, this concrete sealer is designed to out-last and out-perform. In addition to instantly enhancing concrete and masonry surfaces, this concrete sealer will provide a lasting, durable sub-surface barrier that will help to protect surfaces against damage caused water absorption, snow and ice, road salts, and surface growth.

• PROFESSIONAL GRADE DEEP PENETRATING MATTE WET LOOK SEALER FOR CONCRETE, BRICK, NATURAL STONE, AND MASONRY: Protect your unsealed concrete, paver, brick, bluestone, flagstone, slate, natural stone and masonry surfaces with the professional-grade Armor WL550 solvent-based concrete sealer.
• COLOR ENHANCEMENT WITHOUT THE GLOSS: Formulated with high-quality US-manufactured resins, this matte wet look concrete sealer is designed to slightly enhance the color of the substrate without leaving a film or coating. If you are looking to slightly enhance the natural coloring of your surface without having to maintain a surface film, the Armor WL550 is great choice!
• LONG LASTING PROTECTION: The Armor WL550 matte wet look concrete sealer chemically reacts below the surface to form a water-repellent barrier that can last for up to 5-7 years. By reducing the absorption of water on the surface, damage caused by water absorption is also reduced. Surfaces sealed with the Armor WL550 are more resistant to damage caused by water absorption such as cracking, spalling, ice damage, salt damage, organic surface growth, and staining.
• READY TO USE: Our ready-to-use concrete sealer can be applied to a properly cleaned and prepped unsealed surface with a solvent-resistant pump sprayer. One gallon covers up to 175-225 square feet per gallon.
• EASY TO MAINTAIN: The Armor WL550 is easy to use and easy to maintain. When it is time to reseal, simply apply a single coat of the concrete sealer to a clean and dry surface with a solvent-resistant pump sprayer.
• VERSATILE: The Armor WL550 can be used on a variety of unsealed surfaces including concrete, brick, bluestone, flagstone, granite, slate, natural stone, and masonry. Common applications include driveways, walkways, stone accents, patios, sidewalks, curbing, walls, building exteriors, roofs, and more!

Surface Preparation:

The Armor WL550 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 WL550 to a test area to verify absorption, coverage, compatibility, and project suitability.

The Armor WL550 is designed specifically for unsealed concrete and masonry 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.

Application:

A solvent resistant 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 the first coat of Armor WL550, ensuring the entire surface is evenly saturated. Broom out puddles until surface is penetrated. In most cases, a single coat is needed. For porous substrates, or if you notice an inconsistent wet look, a second coat can be applied. The second coat can be applied while the first coat is still wet, or after surface appears dry.

Substrates sealed with Armor WL550 may be coated with a solvent based acrylic sealer once the surface has had 72 hours to dry.

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.

Non-Slip Additives

The Armor WL550 is a penetrating sealer and works entirely below the surface. Non-Slip additives CAN’T be added to this product because there isn’t a surface film for the non-slip additive to be suspended into. Penetrating sealers will not change the surface traction of the concrete, brick, natural stone or pavers – the surface will feel exactly as it felt before being sealed.

Clean-Up

Use xylene or acetone. Dispose of containers in accordance with local and federal regulations.

Product Removal

Armor WL550 penetrates deep into to the surface. Removal is not recommended.

For in-depth up-to-date application instructions, please refer to the Technical Data Sheet and Safety Data Sheet for this product. Documents, videos, and customer photos can be found HERE.

Porous Surfaces: Up to 175 square feet per gallon in one coat.
Smooth Surfaces (once properly prepped): Up to 200-225 square feet per 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.
