How To Choose the Best Concrete, Brick, or Masonry Sealers
The chart and product information below will help you better understand how to select the proper penetrating sealer for your specific project. Surface porosity varies greatly and penetration of the sealers is not guaranteed. Testing is recommended to confirm that sealers are properly working. If you wish to discuss your particular project or have any questions regarding our products and their application please feel free to contact us to speak to or email a product technician.

RadonSeal Deep-Penetrating Concrete Sealer
Product Information – Lifetime Money-Back Guarantee
The Permanent Solution to Concrete Waterproofing! Silicate-based, internal reactive sealer that penetrates up to 4 inches into concrete and chemically reacts with alkalis and hardens as a mineral. Using RadonSeal® is like injecting more cement into the pores! Once cured the sealer cannot be pushed out regardless of hydrostatic pressure. RadonSeal will provide your concrete the tightest seal against water, vapor, and gases and will also harden the concrete making it more resistant to spalling, cracking, and dusting.
Common Use: Damp basements, foundation walls, concrete blocks, cinder blocks, slab-on-grade, damp concrete floors, concrete blocks, cinder blocks, sweating garage floor, deteriorated outdoor concrete, dusting concrete, limestone, sandstone foundation.
- WATERPROOFS – Deep seals porous brick, mortar, and masonry waterproofing it against rain and surface water.
- REPELS – Sheds surface water, oil, chemicals, spills on smoother surfaces.
- RESTRICTS – Water vapor transmission.
- REDUCES – efflorescence and concrete dusting.
- CONCRETE & BRICK PRIMER – Allows for use of paints or coatings like epoxy, urethane, acrylics (but not latex).
LastiSeal Concrete & Brick Sealer
Product Information – 15-Year Waterproofing Warranty
The best brick and masonry sealer on the market! Polyester/polyurethane-based brick sealer. Penetrates 2 to 4 inches into porous materials, fills up the pores, and hardens. Seals a wide range of porous materials regardless of their cement content or additives. It’s like injecting epoxy into the pores. LastiSeal leaves the surface paintable, except for latex and silicone. LastiSeal will also not change the surface appearance or the friction of the substrate.
Common Use: Bricks, brick walls, brick chimneys, porous brick veneer, pavers, porous stone, man-made stone, colored concrete, stamped concrete, pool decks, slump blocks, Mexican pavers, outdoor concrete, CMUs, retaining walls, fiber-reinforced concrete.
- WATERPROOFS – Deep seals porous brick, mortar, and masonry waterproofing it against rain and surface water.
- REPELS – Sheds surface water, oil, chemicals, spills on smoother surfaces.
- RESTRICTS – Water vapor transmission.

Ion-Bond Armor Subsurface Elastomeric Sealant
The Only Sealer Capable of Penetrating Through a Layer of Latex Paint! Polysiloxane-based. Ion-Bond Armor offers a unique subsurface elastomeric sealer that penetrates up to 1-1/2” into concrete. It’s like injecting silicone caulk into the pores. Only polysiloxane based concrete sealer that waterproofs against both positive and negative side water pressure. Often applied after RadonSeal for the tightest combined seal against vapor and gases. Seals even through a single layer of latex paint (100% latex.)
Common Use: Often used in combination with RadonSeal® to seal very concrete, cinder blocks, concrete blocks, slump blocks, CMUs, or fiber-reinforced concrete, retaining walls, concrete painted with 1 layer of latex paint, smooth finished surfaces, basement floor, thin concrete, sandstone foundations.
- REPELS – Sheds surface water, easy maintenance.
- REDUCES – water vapor transmission and efflorescence.
- CONCRETE PRIMER – Apply before use of paints or adhesives, as well as thinset and overlays.
- LONG LASTING – Provides a permanent waterproofing seal.
- STRENGTH – The combination of RadonSeal and Ion-Bond provide the tightest waterproofing seal.
Common State-of-the-Art Features
These are not paints or store bought surface coatings but unique, penetrating, long lasting sealers that deep-seal the substrate internally. Our waterproofing sealers are specifically formulated to be the heaviest and strongest concrete sealers in their class. The common features of the RadonSeal line of concrete sealers, brick sealer, and masonry sealants include:
- NO SURFACE FILM – concrete and brick sealers that will not change the appearance or profile of the substrate.
- DEEP PENETRATION – absorb deep into substrate (1-4 inches.)
- PRESERVES – sealers that will strengthen and preserve the concrete against deterioration due to moisture and chemicals .
- UV-RESISTANT – penetrating sealers that cure deep below the surface providing a longer-lasting seal.
- DURABLE – waterproofing sealers that last for many years or for the life of the substrate.
- BREATHABLE – the smallest of pores remain open allowing concrete and brick to breathe.
- SAFE –non-toxic, nonflammable, non-hazardous.
- ENVIRONMENT-FRIENDLY – no solvents, waterborne, either zero or very low VOCs (meets CA/VOC Regs.)
- EASY APPLICATION – apply using a low-pressure pump sprayer, paint roller, or brush.
- CONCRETE PRIMER – protect surface paints, coatings, and moisture sensitive flooring against negative side water pressure and efflorescence.
Combining the Sealers
“I want to use RadonSeal but I also want to use LastiSeal Concrete Stain to color my concrete as well. Is this possible?” It is possible to combine RadonSeal with any of the other sealers for the utmost protection of your concrete.
QUESTION: HOW TO STRENGTHEN CONCRETE & CREATE A SURFACE THAT BEADS WATER?
Combine: RadonSeal & DryWay
Common Use: concrete driveway, garage floor, sidewalk, concrete patio, shop floors
APPLICATION: Seal the concrete with RadonSeal and after 7 days (or later) apply DryWay Water-Repellent Sealer. RadonSeal will work best at strengthening the concrete and sealing against negative and positive side water pressure. DryWay will create that long-lasting water repellent barrier close to the surface (beads surface water.)
QUESTION: HOW TO SEAL CONCRETE SLABS BEFORE INSTALLING MOISTURE-SENSITIVE FLOORING?
Combine: RadonSeal & Ion-Bond Armor
Common Use: slab-on-grade, basement floors, garage floor, factory floors
APPLICATION: Deep seal the concrete first with RadonSeal and after 10 days (or later) apply Ion-Bond Armor. The combination of RadonSeal and Ion-Bond Armor forms the tightest possible internal seal against water vapor, chemical vapors, and gases, including radon. The surface will remain suitable for paints or adhesives.
QUESTION: HOW TO STAIN CONCRETE AND SEAL AGAINST RADON TRANSMISSION?
Combine: RadonSeal & LastiSeal Concrete Stain & Sealer
Common Use: basement floors, basement walls, garage floor
APPLICATION: Deep seal the concrete first with RadonSeal and after 7 days (or later) apply LastiSeal Concrete Stain & Sealer. For this type of application, surface porosity is key! Please review the LastiSeal Concrete Stain & Sealer Application, Prep, & Tips webpage for detailed information.
