Concrete sealers and enhancers can reduce absorption, change appearance or form a protective film. The correct treatment depends on the concrete finish, exposure, traffic and maintenance requirements.
| Treatment | Result | Fortis options |
|---|---|---|
| Natural-look enhancer | Penetrating protection with subtle colour enhancement | Natural Look Enhancer |
| Wet-look enhancer | Penetrating protection with deeper, richer colour | Wet Look Enhancer |
| Acrylic sealer | Clear surface film for concrete, paving and driveways | AcrylaSeal or AcrylaSolv |
| Polyurethane coating | Hard-wearing clear film for concrete floors | Coat 519 or Coat 526 |
Choose Natural Look Enhancer when polished concrete should retain a natural appearance while gaining resistance to water, oil and grease. Choose Wet Look Enhancer where stronger colour enhancement is preferred. Both require a clean, dry and absorbent surface.
Water-based AcrylaSeal provides a clear acrylic finish with lower odour. Solvent-based AcrylaSolv produces stronger colour enhancement. For floors requiring greater abrasion and wear resistance, consider clear polyurethane Coat 519 or self-priming water-based Coat 526.
Potassium/Lithium Densifier and Premium Lithium Densifier harden concrete during polishing but do not replace the final protective treatment.
Confirm absorption, colour, sheen and slip resistance on a representative area. Dense, polished or previously sealed concrete may reject penetrating products, while film-forming systems require suitable preparation and adhesion.
