Concrete Sealer X-1
Concrete Sealer X-1 is a permanent silicate based deep penetrating sealer which means that it
is guaranteed to last for the life of your concrete because it chemically bonds to the concrete to
become part of its integral structure. It is highly effective in making concrete physically stronger and
denser while increasing its resistance to stains, acids, alkalis, moisture, mold and mildew. Concrete Sealer X-1 leaves a natural finish (no sheen) after application, it is UV resistant, non-yellowing, breathable and the surface will not be slippery. This sealer is not a repellant coating so the concrete can be painted after it has been sealed with increased paint adhesion because the sealer neutralizes the alkalis in the concrete preventing saponification of the paint. Adhesives and epoxy coatings can also be applied over the sealed concrete with no adverse effects. Concrete Sealer X-1 is environmentally friendly, non-toxic and nonflammable because it does not contain chemical solvents or release any VOC or noxious fumes. After cementitious surfaces have been treated with Concrete Sealer X-1 or Concrete Sealer X-2 they can resist many chemical compounds more effectively including acids, salts, solvents, alcohols and oils as shown in this table.

Concrete Sealer X-2
Concrete Sealer X-2 is a higher concentration product than Concrete Sealer X-1.
It creates the same chemical reactions within the concrete as Concrete Sealer X-1 and it has the same
physical properties, coverage rates and application procedures. Concrete Sealer X-2 leaves a natural finish (no sheen) after application, it is UV resistant, non-yellowing, breathable and the surface will not be slippery. This sealer is not a repellant coating so the concrete can be painted after it has been sealed with increased paint adhesion because the sealer neutralizes the alkalis in the concrete preventing saponification of the paint. Adhesives and epoxy coatings can also be applied over the sealed concrete with no adverse effects. Concrete Sealer X-2 is environmentally friendly, non-toxic and nonflammable because it does
not contain chemical solvents or release any VOC or noxious fumes.
Concrete Sealer X-2 is a ready to use, DIY type product which has a shelf life of at least two years. Picture

Concrete Sealer X-3
Concrete Sealer X-3 is a special blend of polysiloxanes which crosslink below the
surface of the concrete making the concrete surface water repellant and stain resistant. Concrete Sealer X-3 is a DIY type product which is easy to apply using a brush, medium nap roller or low pressure sprayer at any temperature between 40 and 80 degrees F. The surface to be treated does not need any special treatment but it must be oil and dust free to allow proper penetration of the product. It will cover approximately 200 to 400 square feet per gallon depending on the concrete porosity and two coats are recommended. Typically a 5 gallon pail will seal a maxumim of 1,000 square feet of poured concrete using the two required applications(2,000 sq ft total) but this coverage can be lower depending on the porosity Concrete Sealer X-3 leaves a natural finish (no sheen) after application and the surface will not be slippery. Concrete Sealer X-3 has also been proven as an effective anti-graffitti barrier helping to prevent paints, aerosols and crayons from adhering to the wall and allowing easy removal if they do. Concrete Sealer X-3 is a ready to use product and does not require the addition of an activator which means that it does not have a limited pot life unlike some competitive products and it has a shelf life of at least 6 months.
