Barefoot Concrete supplies, high-quality, concentrated water-based concrete sealers that can outperform traditional solvent-based alternatives.

We provide these concrete water-based sealer products to the concrete sealing industry and they are safer to use without compromising on quality, performance and durability.

Anyone who has applied a concrete sealer knows that you need the surface to be as dry as possible, with less than 5% moisture in the concrete, so that the concrete sealer will be drawn into the surface and thereby bind to the surface strongly and consistently.

In the case of most solvent-based sealers, any moisture remaining in the substrate may cause the sealer to whiten or have hazy patches.

For freshly poured surfaces this often means waiting up to a month before a decent concrete sealer can be applied.

For surfaces that need to be pressure cleaned prior to sealing you will normally need to wait at least a day for the surface to dry out sufficiently.

This waiting can turn even a relatively small day job into a two-day job. For contractors, this means a return trip a day or two later to apply a concrete sealer. Worse still, all the time you are waiting for the surface to dry is time that the clean surface is at risk of getting dirty again.

With our water-based concrete sealers, damp substrates are a non-issue. In fact, moisture is required to help the concrete sealer to migrate into the substrate to give that deep penetrating and long-lasting protection.

As such, our products W881 Colour Enhancing Sealer, B883 Stain Resist Sealer, and G887 Stain Protect Sealer can be applied to new concrete as soon as the surface is hard enough to walk on, acting like a curing agent and a concrete sealer, all in one. This strengthens and protects the concrete against stains from day one.

We get this question a lot, “What makes B883 Stain Resist Sealer so special?” Well, besides the fact that this is a premium quality water-based concrete sealer, THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT FEATURE OF THIS PRODUCT IS THAT IT IS DESIGNED TO BE APPLIED TO WET SURFACES!

B883 Stain Resist Sealer is a nano polymer solution that creates a breathable matrix seal within the surface of the concrete. This matrix regulates moisture content by slowly allowing water to be absorbed and/or released. This ensures the substrate does not remain waterlogged but that there is sufficient moisture for proper hydration of the concrete.

When B883 Stain Resist Sealer is applied to freshly poured concrete, it will prevent premature drying and ensure that sufficient moisture is retained for proper curing reactions to take place.

The end result is increasing the strength of the concrete and reducing the risk of cracking and dry shrinkage. As a bonus, it also provides an excellent solution for prevention or fixing concrete dusting problems.
