PaverGeneral® Masonry Sealer 5801is a silane/siloxane emulsion that acts as a clear sealer finish and water repellent treatment for mineral substrates, such as stone, brick, concrete and mortar. PaverGeneral® Masonry Sealer 5801 penetrates and chemically reacts with the substrate to provide water repellency. After the emulsion breaks, these active ingredients react with moisture to produce hydroxyl groups. These hydroxyl groups bind with the substrate and each other to produce a hydrophobic treatment that inhibits water absorption into the substrate. This clear sealer finish treatment does not change the appearance of the stone, brick, or masonry. Reduction in water absorption reduces spalling due to freeze-thaw and efflorescence, thereby increasing the life of the substrate.

I seal the driveway every 5 years or so. I had my doubts with the politically correct stuff. This stuff works as good as the stuff I used before. I used a roller, and rolled it out good. I needed to buy a second gallon because I couldn't finish with one. It rained in the meantime. Where it was done was the same light gray the driveway is when it is dry, and the area not done except where I spilled a little, it turned brown when wet. It does not change the color of the whatever you are doing. In fact after it dries, you can't tell you did anything until it rains.
