Sealing Basement Walls

Waterproof, strengthen, and protect your basement walls and floor by sealing it with a Foundation Armor concrete sealer.

Foundation Armor concrete sealers do not change the look or color of the concrete. Once the crystallization has fully matured, the basement walls and floor can be paint, stained, coated, or finished.

Sealers are guaranteed for a lifetime.

FOUNDATION ARMOR TM SEALERS STOP: Water and vapor migration up to 100psi Moisture vapor transmission up to .015 WVT Alkali attack and efflorescence attack

FOUNDATION ARMOR TM SEALERS REDUCE: Transmission of hazardous gases, including

Radon The absorption of chemicals, chlorides,

solvents, fats and oils Internal chlorides by up to 50%-90%

FOUNDATION ARMOR TM SEALERS PREVENT: The growth of mold, mildew, bacteria,

lichen, and moss Flaking, cracking, scaling and spalling

caused during freeze-thaw cycles Surface deterioration and discoloration

FOUNDATION ARMOR TM SEALERS INCREASE: •Overall strength, hardness, and density by up to 45% •Bond strength of epoxies, paints, and stains by up to 20%

FOUNDATION ARMOR TM SEALERS: NEVER peel, flake, or fade NEVER stain from exposure to UV rays NEVER leave behind a slippery surface coating NEVER have to be re-applied or maintained

Water plus cement produces Calcium Silicate Hydrate (C-S-H) in a process known as Hydration. C-S-H is the binding system for concrete. Combined with the aggregate, C-S-H gives concrete its hardness and strength.

A reactive byproduct of the Hydration process is Calcium Hydroxide. When a Foundation Armor concrete sealer is applied to concrete, it reacts with the existing Calcium Hydroxide to produce additional C-S-H. This additional C-S-H is what provides the increased hardness and densification by up to 45%, and water resistance up to 100 PSI.

Foundation Armor concrete sealers have the highest percentage of reactive material, and are optimized to make the silicate available more quickly for more rapid C-S-H formation.

Clean the concrete, make sure it is free of paints, stains, sealers, and anything that will prevent a sealer from penetrating.

Dilute the Armor sealer of choice with the required amount of water.

Using a garden sprayer, saturate the concrete with the diluted sealer.

Let dry.

Armor S1000TM

The Armor S1000 TM is a permanent sealer that penetrates up to 2” into the substrate.

Armor S1000 TM – Where To UseThe Armor S1000 TM concrete sealer can be used on: Interior and exterior concrete, above and below grade. Vertical and horizontal uncoated concrete surfaces. Poured concrete, concrete bricks, concrete blocks, concrete slabs, concrete

pavers, and stamped concrete. New and old concrete. Concrete with water, moisture, vapor, and radon permeability issues.

Armor S1000 TM – Preparation New concrete must cure for a minimum of 28 days. Concrete must be free of paints, stains, oils, chemicals, sealers, and dyes. Remove any efflorescence, mold, or mildew prior to application. Surface can be swept or power washed prior to application.

Armor S1000 TM – Application Dilute Armor S1000 TM sealer with 3 parts warm to hot water. Using a garden sprayer, spray on surface of concrete. Immediately following the first coat (wait at least 30-45 minutes

between coats), apply a second coat. Roll out any puddles with a brush or roller, or wipe up an excess

materials with a clean cloth. Use product when temperature is between 50-900F (10-320C).

Armor S1000 TM Dry TimeLet dry 24 hours.

Armor S1000 TM CoverageOne gallon of the Armor S1000 TM is diluted with 3 parts warm water and covers up to 1,250 square feet. For old or porous concrete, or for applications that require a third coat, expect one gallon to cover up to 700 square feet.

Retail: $109.95/Gallon
