DryWay Water-Repellent Sealer
for Outdoor Concrete & Masonry

Protect your driveway, garage floor, and outdoor concrete!

DryWay Outdoor Concrete Water Repellent defends against water-related staining and deterioration. Treated surfaces will bead or shed water for years to come, reducing the potential for cracking, pitting, spalling, efflorescence, rebar corrosion, molds, and algae.

DryWay provides durable protection to concrete surfaces against attack from:

• surface water
• oil spills
• chlorine ions
• road salts
• freeze-thaw damage
• airborne contaminants.

This advanced penetrating concrete sealer does not leave a film that will peel or wear off but forms a long-lasting water-repellent barrier inside the concrete. It does not alter surface appearance or texture. The treated surfaces shed water or bead.

DryWay concrete sealer will keep your driveway dry! After a rain, it dries out soon while other driveways will still look dark because of all the absorbed water. Liquid spills can be easily wiped or washed off. Paints, stains, or adhesives do not adhere. Snow and ice do not stick.

DryWay is user-friendly and environmentally safe – water based, low odor, non-toxic, nonflammable, and low VOC (volatile organic compounds).

How it Works

DryWay is the latest and most advanced type of penetrating water-repellent for masonry – a water-based emulsion of siloxanes and silanes. The sealer's small molecules penetrate up to 1/2 inch into the substrate, depending on porosity and moisture content. The sealer reacts chemically with the substrate and itself, bonds and cures in long-chain molecules. It is like filling the pores with silicone caulk. The seal does not trap water vapor and allows the concrete to breathe and dry out.

For maximum penetration and durability, DryWay has the highest siloxane/silane content in its class. Its performance exceeds the requirements of NCHRP 244 and federal specification SSW 110 C. It may take a week or two to fully cure. Water-repellents are not suitable for underground applications with negative side water pressure like in basements.

Durability

DryWay is inherently resistant to UV-rays, heat, and oxidative degradation. Moreover, it is hidden deep inside the pores from the sun and elements. It will not yellow and there is no or little gloss. The water-repellent barrier becomes an integral part of the substrate and there is no film to peel or wear off. The treated concrete or masonry will be protected for many years with an estimated service life over 10 years.

Sealed areas will not absorb rainwater and will dry out quickly. Even if the surface stops beading, it will still shed water and protect the substrate. DryWay bonds to itself and can be re-applied to increase water-repellency or beading of the surface.

Product Use

Although garage floors, and parking areas are the most popular applications, DryWay Water Repellent is effective on a wide range of concrete and masonry substrates, horizontal or vertical:

• New or old concrete
• Fiber-reinforced concrete, integrally colored concrete
• Concrete blocks
• Splitface blocks, lightweight CMUs
• Mortar, grout, Portland cement stucco
• Concrete roof tiles
• Bricks, brick veneer walls
• Pavers, flagstone, adobe, Terracotta
• Sandstone, limestone, granite.

Common Residential Uses

Concrete driveways, garage floors, pool decks, patios, sidewalks, pavers, brick chimneys, and brick veneer walls.

Common Commercial Uses

Driveways and parking areas, garages, industrial floors, building exteriors, concrete roofs, marinas, bridge decks, airport pavements, cooling towers, statues.

User- and Environment-Friendly

DryWay Water-Repellent is a water-based sealer, non-toxic, and nonflammable. Its low odor allows application in occupied buildings. DryWay avoids the explosion and fire hazards of conventional alcohol- or solvent-based silanes and siloxanes. It does not contain chemical solvents, is non-hazardous and VOC-compliant (< 50 grams/liter VOC).

Quick and easy application by contractors or homeowners using a low-pressure sprayer like a garden sprayer or airless. 

Easy cleanup of over-spray with a wet rag while still wet.

Coverage

Actual coverage depends on porosity of the substrate.

Blocks and porous surfaces may require two wet-on-wet applications. The additional applications are lighter.

Shipping and Pricing

Shipped directly from the factory to your doors. Orders received by 2 PM ET are usually shipped the same day. The courier (UPS) delivers within 3 to 5 working days in the lower 48 states.

Based on shipping to the lower 48 states.

Application Conditions

Let new concrete cure for at least 28 days. If needed, caulk, patch, or repair the area prior to application.

The substrate must be sound, clean, and dry. After a rain, let dry for at least 24 hours. Do not apply when rain is expected within 12 hours.

Air and surface temperatures should be between 45 and 90°F. Do not apply to hot surfaces in direct sunlight (the sealer would flash off) or in strong wind.

Application Procedure

Use a low-pressure sprayer (hand-pump garden sprayer or airless) or a paint roller.

• Remove all paints, sealers, or adhesives. Clean off oil, grease, dirt, wax, curing compounds, efflorescence, and other contaminants that might interfere with penetration of the sealer.
• Thoroughly shake the pail prior to opening and before use.
• Protect glass, plants, asphalt, and other surfaces during application.
• Apply DryWay in a saturating film (on the verge of puddling). For vertical surfaces, apply from the bottom up allowing 4–6” controlled run-down.
• More porous surfaces may need two or more applications. Spray on additional applications “wet on wet” 5 to 10 minutes apart.
• Do not over-apply. Spread out any puddles with a roller or push broom until the sealer penetrates into the substrate.

Storage

Store in a dry location out of direct sunlight at temperatures below 90°F.
PROTECT FROM FREEZING.
SHELF LIFE: 1 year from shipment.

Clean Up

Using detergent and water, wipe off drips and over-spray residue while still wet. Removing dried material may require mechanical abrasion. Clean application equipment immediately after use.
