Sealer Types & Uses
Compare Concrete Resurrection Sealers & Coatings
The right finish depends on where your concrete is located, how the surface will be used, the appearance you want, and the level of protection required. Compare our primary Exterior, Interior, and Epoxy & Coating systems to find the best solution for your project.
Compare Exterior Sealer Options
Exterior concrete is exposed to sunlight, rain, moisture, traffic and changing weather conditions. Some systems create a protective topical coating and enhance color, while others penetrate into the concrete and maintain a more natural appearance.
Outside Solvent Based Acrylic 400 VOC
Solvent-based acrylic exterior sealer designed for decorative concrete. Enhances stained concrete while creating a protective low-to-medium gloss finish.
Polyaspartic
High-performance coating option for applications requiring a more substantial protective system than a traditional acrylic sealer.
Weather Dance Water Repellent
Water-repellent treatment for porous concrete where protection from moisture is a priority without creating a heavy topical coating.
Nature's Essence Matte Concrete & Paver Sealer
Penetrating silicone water repellent that enriches natural color while maintaining a matte appearance and natural surface texture.
| Product | Type | Finish / Role | Best For | Key Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Outside Solvent Based Acrylic 400 VOC | Topical acrylic sealer | Low / medium gloss; color enhancing | Exterior stained & decorative concrete | Traditional exterior decorative concrete sealer |
| Polyaspartic | Protective coating | Higher-build protective finish | More demanding coating applications | More substantial coating than basic acrylic |
| Weather Dance Water Repellent | Water repellent | Natural / penetrating | Porous exterior concrete | Focuses on moisture repellency without a glossy film |
| Nature's Essence | Penetrating silicone sealer | Matte; natural color enriching | Concrete, pavers, brick and masonry | Designed for a natural-looking penetrating finish |
Compare Interior Sealer & Coating Options
Interior concrete offers more flexibility in coating technology and finished appearance. Compare acrylic, urethane, polyaspartic and epoxy systems based on the level of protection and appearance your project needs.
CR-515 Inside Acrylic
Water-based acrylic interior floor sealer and a straightforward choice for decorative residential concrete.
CR-546 Inside High Gloss WB Urethane
Water-based urethane system designed for projects where greater durability and a higher-gloss appearance are desired.
CR-545 Inside Matte Urethane
Two-component water-based aliphatic polyurethane providing a low-sheen matte appearance with strong abrasion and chemical resistance.
Polyaspartic
High-performance protective coating suitable for demanding interior floor systems where durability is a primary consideration.
Epoxy - Interior Floor Coating
100% solids epoxy coating designed for durable interior concrete flooring and decorative coating systems.
Epoxy Bond Coat
Water-based epoxy primer used as a bonding layer within compatible epoxy coating systems.
Extended Work Time Epoxy
Epoxy coating option formulated to provide additional working time during more involved coating and decorative installations.
| Product | Type | Finish / Role | Best For | Key Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CR-515 Inside Acrylic | Water-based acrylic | Clear interior sealer | Residential decorative floors | Good starting point for many interior stain projects |
| CR-546 High Gloss WB Urethane | Water-based urethane | High gloss / durable | Higher-traffic interiors | More robust protection than basic acrylic |
| CR-545 Matte Urethane | 2-part water-based polyurethane | Matte / high durability | Higher-traffic interior surfaces | Designed for systems requiring durable low sheen |
| Polyaspartic | Protective coating | Durable coating / topcoat | Demanding floor systems | Advanced protective coating option |
| Epoxy Interior Floor Coating | 100% solids epoxy | High-build coating | Garages, basements, commercial & decorative floors | Durable decorative coating system |
| Epoxy Bond Coat | Water-based epoxy primer | Bonding primer | Epoxy system preparation | System component used where specified |
| Extended Work Time Epoxy | Epoxy coating | Longer working window | Decorative epoxy projects | Useful where additional installation time is needed |
Compare Epoxy Coating Options
Epoxy systems create a more substantial protective coating over properly prepared concrete. Compare our primary epoxy products and bonding system based on working time and project requirements.
Epoxy - Interior Floor Coating
Primary epoxy coating used for durable interior concrete flooring and decorative coating systems.
Epoxy Bond Coat
Water-based epoxy primer designed as a bonding layer in compatible epoxy floor installations.
Extended Work Time Epoxy
Epoxy option providing additional working time for projects where more placement and installation time is beneficial.
| Product | Type | Finish / Role | Best For | Key Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Epoxy Interior Floor Coating | 100% solids epoxy | Primary high-build coating | Interior decorative & protective floors | Core epoxy coating system |
| Epoxy Bond Coat | Water-based epoxy primer | Bonding primer | Epoxy system preparation | Used where the coating system specifies a primer |
| Extended Work Time Epoxy | Epoxy coating | Longer working window | More involved installations | Allows additional application time |
Start With the Result You Want
Exterior Stained Concrete
Consider the Outside Solvent Based Acrylic when you want a traditional topical sealer that enhances decorative color.
Natural Matte Exterior
Consider Nature's Essence or Weather Dance when penetrating water repellency and a more natural appearance are priorities.
Interior Decorative Floor
CR-515 provides a straightforward acrylic option. Consider urethane, polyaspartic or epoxy when greater coating performance is required.
Heavy-Duty Interior Coating
Consider urethane, polyaspartic or epoxy depending on the desired appearance, performance and installation requirements.
The Correct Sealer Still Requires Correct Surface Preparation
Concrete must be properly prepared for the specific sealer or coating being installed. Dirt, oils, curing compounds, incompatible previous coatings, moisture and poor surface profiling can interfere with adhesion and finished appearance.
Sealer compatibility also matters. Penetrating sealers, acrylics, urethanes, epoxy and polyaspartic systems do not all perform the same job and should not automatically be substituted for one another.
Always review the individual product page, Technical Data Sheet and application instructions before beginning your project.
