and which sealer is best for your block wall
depends on where the block wall is located and
why you want to seal it.
3. Exterior Block Wall
• Freestanding wall: A freestanding block wall
needs to be protected from the elements so a
densifier like the Armor S2000 or Armor L3000
are most appropriate.
• Retaining wall: If the wall has soil on one side, it
is exposed to water and moisture. If the block
becomes too saturated for too long, it will start to
deteriorate. The SX5000 water repellent is most
appropriate. Another option to help save costs is
to seal the side of the block with the soil with the
SX5000 and the side exposed with the L3000.
4. Interior Block Wall
If you want to strengthen the block wall, the
L3000 is the obvious choice. If you want to
waterproof the wall or reduce moisture
penetration, you need the Armor SX5000.

5. The Armor S2000 concrete sealer is a highly concentrated, enhanced silicate-
based sealer, which penetrates deeper, carries more active minerals, and
seals tighter than any other concrete sealer on the market. While it is
designed to be applied from the inside of the basement, it can be applied to
the outside of the foundation as well.
Because the Armor S2000 protects concrete against water vapor,
efflorescence, and alkali attack, it is commonly used by flooring contractors as
a concrete primer. Armor S2000 is suitable for use before applying paints,
adhesives, epoxy floor coatings, concrete overlays, surface levelers, wet-look
coatings and before the installation of moisture sensitive flooring.
Once cured, the Armor S2000 makes concrete denser and stronger (up to 45%
in flexural strength). Helps to reduce dusting, crumbling, and overall wear.
6. The Armor L3000 sealer is a best-selling industrial-grade concrete densifier &
hardener on the market - used for waterproofing, strengthening, and
protecting concrete. Penetrates up to 2″ and is GUARANTEED FOR LIFE. The
Armor L3000 sealer is free of VOC’s and noxious fumes.
Armor L3000 concrete densifier and chemical hardener compound is a ready-
to-use, colorless liquid, formulated with chemically reactive raw materials to
harden and dustproof concrete. When properly applied, Armor L3000 will
offer substantial improvement in abrasion and chemical resistance and will
significantly improve the durability of the concrete surface when compared to
untreated concrete. As Armor L3000 is applied and penetrates into the
concrete surface, a chemical reaction takes place, producing a byproduct that
fills in the pores of the concrete.
7. The Armor SX5000 is a low-VOC, solvent based
silane/siloxane based water repellent for concrete,
cinderblock (CMU), brick, and unglazed tile. The Armor
SX5000 penetrates and reacts with minerals within the
substrate to create a hydrophobic barrier against water
absorption.
Solvent based silane-siloxane sealers have been proven to
bond better, last longer, and perform better than water
based silane/siloxane sealers!
8. The Armor SX5000WB is zero VOC, water-based
silane/siloxane based water repellent for concrete,
cinderblock (CMU), brick and unglazed tile. The
Armor SX5000 WB penetrates up to 2″ and reacts
with minerals within the substrate to create a
hydrophobic barrier against water absorption.
When properly applied, the Armor SX5000 will
repel water for up to 10 years!
