Concrete Sealers by Application
Concrete Driveways and Exposed Aggregate
AcrylaSeal is a water-based acrylic concrete sealer providing a clear semi-gloss finish with low-odour application. AcrylaSolv is a solvent-based alternative where stronger colour enhancement is preferred.
Both products are suitable for correctly prepared concrete driveways, paving and exposed aggregate. Test a small area to confirm appearance, adhesion and slip resistance before application.
Concrete Pavers, Paths and Decorative Concrete
Fortis acrylic sealers help protect suitable concrete pavers, paths, patios, stamped concrete and coloured decorative surfaces against weathering, dirt and general surface staining.
Polished Concrete and Penetrating Sealers
For suitable polished concrete and absorbent stone, Wet Look Penetrating Sealer & Enhancer provides a richer, colour-enhanced appearance without forming a conventional heavy surface film.
For a more natural appearance, explore the Fortis Penetrating Sealers range.
Water-Based vs Solvent-Based Concrete Sealers
Water-based acrylic sealers are commonly selected where lower odour and water clean-up are important. Solvent-based acrylic sealers are often preferred where stronger colour enhancement is required.
Both form a protective surface film and require suitable concrete preparation. Read our Water-Based vs Solvent-Based Concrete Sealer Guide for further information.
Concrete Sealer Selection & Preparation
Concrete must be sound, clean and free from dust, oil, grease, curing compounds and incompatible existing coatings. Check porosity, surface moisture and compatibility before sealing.
Applying film-forming sealers over damp concrete can cause whitening, clouding or poor adhesion. Sealed concrete may also become more slippery when wet, so consider a compatible non-slip additive where required.
Always follow the relevant Technical Data Sheet for preparation, application rates, recoating and curing.

Concrete Sealers FAQs
What is the best concrete sealer for a driveway?
The best sealer depends on the concrete condition and desired finish. AcrylaSeal provides a clear water-based acrylic finish, while AcrylaSolv provides solvent-based colour enhancement and protection. See our driveway sealer selection guide.
Where can I buy concrete sealers in Australia?
Fortis manufactures and supplies concrete sealers from Victoria to customers throughout Australia. Browse the Fortis concrete sealer range, purchase selected products through the online store or contact Fortis for trade supply.
Which concrete sealer is suitable for exposed aggregate?
Both AcrylaSeal Water-Based Acrylic and AcrylaSolv Solvent-Based Acrylic may be suitable for correctly prepared exposed aggregate. Select according to the required finish, compatibility and site conditions.
What is the difference between water-based and solvent-based concrete sealer?
Water-based acrylic sealers generally offer lower odour and water clean-up. Solvent-based acrylic sealers can provide stronger colour enhancement. Read our water-based versus solvent-based sealer guide for a detailed comparison.
Which concrete sealer provides a wet-look finish?
For suitable polished concrete and absorbent stone, Concrete Shield™ Wet Look Enhancer provides a richer, colour-enhanced appearance without a conventional heavy topical coating.
Can concrete sealer be applied over an existing sealer?
Only where the existing coating is compatible, firmly bonded and correctly prepared. Test adhesion first and remove incompatible or deteriorated coatings before resealing.
Does concrete need to be dry before sealing?
Concrete generally needs to be dry and within the moisture limits of the selected product. Trapped moisture can cause clouding, whitening or adhesion failure. Read our concrete preparation guide.
How many coats of concrete sealer are required?
Most Fortis film-forming acrylic sealers require at least two thin coats, subject to the product specification. Penetrating sealers have different application requirements. Follow the relevant Technical Data Sheet.
Will concrete sealer make a driveway slippery?
Film-forming sealers may alter slip resistance, particularly when wet. A compatible non-slip additive may be required depending on the application and finish.
What is the difference between penetrating and acrylic concrete sealers?
Acrylic sealers form a protective surface film, while penetrating sealers absorb into suitable substrates without forming a conventional heavy coating. Read our penetrating versus film-forming sealer guide.
