Where It Fits

Primer Use

  • Best when: Not applicable Sealers and densifiers are not used as primers for coating systems.
  • Watch out: Not applicable to sealer or densifier applications.

Build and Body Coat Use

  • Best when: Not applicable These products provide surface protection only, not structural build or thickness.
  • Watch out: Do not provide impact resistance or wear thickness comparable to coating systems.

Topcoat Use

  • Best when: Often a 'standalone' protection layer for concrete providing dust proofing, stain resistance, and appearance enhancement without a full coating system.
  • Watch out: Performance limitations compared to full coating systems. Suitable for light duty use only.

Common Applications

Typical environments where sealers and densifiers provide appropriate protection.

Warehouses (dust control)

Polished concrete protection

Light duty commercial floors

Selection Checklist

Key questions to answer before specifying a sealer or densifier.

Desired finish

Sealers range from invisible penetrating treatments to high gloss film forming coatings. Match the finish to the facility's aesthetic requirements and maintenance expectations.

Traffic level

Forklifts and heavy rolling loads will quickly wear through topical sealers. Define the expected traffic intensity pedestrian, light cart, or heavy industrial before specifying.

Stain resistance needs

Oil, grease, and chemical spills require specific sealer chemistries. Penetrating densifiers resist staining differently than film forming sealers confirm the protection level needed.

Maintenance plan

Topical sealers require periodic reapplication. Confirm the facility has the resources and commitment to maintain the floor's appearance and protection over time.
