SuperSeal25 can be used for Stamped Concrete, Stamped Cement, Decorative Cement, Bricks, Acid Stained Cement, Concrete Stains, and Exposed Aggregate. SuperSeal enhances the natural color of your Concrete Brick Pavers and Cement with a “wet” look.
SuperSeal25 can be sprayed on with the Chapin 1949 Concrete Sprayer or applied with a 1/2″ roller cover. You cannot use a plastic “inexpensive” sprayer. SuperSeal25 will help sand erosion reducing the amount of weeds.
One coat is recommended. Coverage is about 100 feet per gallon or 500 feet per five gallon. One coat will result in a satin/semi-gloss sheen depending on porosity of brick. Extra coats will result in a higher gloss.

Super Seal 25 is not suggested for Clay Pavers.
I have an exposed aggregate walkway leading from the driveway to the front door. If this product, SuperSeal 25 is applied and drys, will it be slippery after a rain?
It should not, but you can add the Super Grip into it for added traction.
do you carry the Honey Brown Super-Seal 25 5 gal product?
No, we carry the Super Seal 30 in the brown tint.
We used super seal 25 semi gloss as a cure and seal when we placed the floor 3 months ago and it looked great.. Since that application the insulation installers didn’t get the memo that the floor wouldn’t have any floor coverings and they proceeded to cut the batts on the finished floor surface and left scratches, some of them likely have penetrated the sealed surface and cut into the concrete floor. can anyone provide a solution that will make the floor look like it did before the damage was done. I was really happy with the finished floor before all of the knife marks.
Please post some pics in the comments.
Can this be used over a concrete and seashell driveway with paver dividers?
Yes, it should work well.
Good morning. I see you have answered a ton of questions, and I hope mine can also be addressed. I have a paver patio that was installed 3 years ago. I just power washed it and stripped out a lot of the sand and I will be restoring that this week. I’m looking to buy the Superseal 25 semi gloss. In the past, the guy doing the stone applied this, but this time around they wanted way too much money to do this (inflation). I looked at buying the Chaplin 1949 sprayer to apply this (but it’s expensive for doing this maybe once). So here are the questions now that you understand the situation… 1. Will this product be appropriate for a paver patio with firepit (will seal stones on firepit as well). 2. Can it be applied to limestone counter tops on the outdoor grill area, retaining wall cap area, and the steps we have leading down to the porch? Without this additional stuff you sell, will this stuff make the steps slippery if they are wet? Could I do this application with a roller brush, or is it worth the investment for the sprayer? I’ve also been told that I may have to roll it after spraying – is that also the case? Thank you in advance…
Wow, I see the value of buying here vs elsewhere. So, if I go with this product for the pavers, what would you recommend for the limestone countertops, retainer caps and steps? Seems like the sprayer may be the best option…
The SB-6000 should work for the limestone as it states it works for natural stone: https://www.concretesealerstore.com/sb-6000-wet-look-sealer-1-gallon.html
See attached for more info.
The SS25 is easily rolled. If you have new sand, make sure the sand is down about 1/4″ to 1/2″ from the top of the pavers, and just take care not to “pull” out the sand when rolling.
How long should product be rain free after applying?
Applied between 70-83 degrees, dry no rain few days prior.
Thunderstorms in the forecast for following day, mid 80s as a high for next few days following application.
2-4 hours for most scenarios.
Awesome! So rain within 12-16hrs would have little effect on the sealed surface?
It should be fine.
I have used Eagle brand aggregate sealer for years and the aggregate looks bad again within a few months. This product is quite a bit more expensive but could be worth it if it doesn’t need to be reapplied as often. How often does this need to be reapplied?
Every 2 years is normal.
Have Lafitt pavers in Wash with 4 seasons.. Have Sealed 2xs with SS 30 last was 5 yrs ago. Thinking about trying SS 25 for a semi gloss wet look instead of SS 30 .
1: Can I switch to SS 25 with no issue
2: Is the only difference between them the level of gloss
3:Is Ss 25 just as durable as Ss30
4: Is it recommended 1 or 2 coats for SS 25 and Ss 30
You cannot make the SS30 (which is still there) less shiny by using the SS25 or the SS Matte over the top of it. The gloss from the SS30 will be the dominant shine. The answer is yes, you can use the SS25 over it but you will still have a higher gloss. Just as durable. One coat.
Sorry I think my question was not asked properly. I applied SS 30 five years ago and going to reseal. Can I reseal this time with SS 25 with no problems and less shine. I believe from your answer it is yes..Thank You
Jim, please reread our comment as it does answer your questions. Yes, you can do it without issues but no you cannot make it less shiny.
Hello,
I sealed my paver patio in the past with a different, quality brand of solvent based sealer that has held up well.
I will now be using Superseal 25 Semi Gloss sealer.
I have power washed the surface, applied polymer sand, thoroughly swept and gently blew off the surface and finally; water misted the sand three times.
Questions:
(1) What length nap for my roller application?
(2) What material should the roller cover be made of?
(3) Should I apply a light coat?
(4) If two coats are recommended:
(A) How much time (min./max.) in
between coats?
(B) How much time before
replacing patio furniture and
resuming normal usage?
Thank You,
Lawrence – Homer Glen, Illinois
(1) What length nap for my roller application? 1/2 to 5/8.
(2) What material should the roller cover be made of? Does not matter as long as it can handle solvents.
(3) Should I apply a light coat? One coat at 100 sq feet per gallon.
(4) If two coats are recommended: N/A
(A) How much time (min./max.) in
between coats? N/A
(B) How much time before
replacing patio furniture and
resuming normal usage? 24 hours
Thank You,
Please answer another question:
Can I pour a moderate amount of Super Sealer 25 on the patio paver directly from the 5 gallon can and then apply with the roller. Or rather, does it have to be poured into some kind of a bucket or painters tray in order to apply to the roller first?
Thank you,
Lawrence Kneip
Do not pour then spread. Take the top off the bucket and dip directly into it or put it in a paint tray.
Thank you again!
can this be applied over stamped concrete that has been stained (from Sherwin Williams)?
Yes, it should be okay here.
Hello I am planning seal my paver patio and pathway could you please help me to choose the right one ? Thanks
What appearance would you like when done? Wet look, gloss level, etc.
I have 1/2 of a 5 gallon can of SS25 from my last sealing job from 4 years ago, can I still use the 4 year old sealer to redo my pavers? I have ordered another 5 gallons of SS25, just hate to waste such a great product by throwing it away.
Hard to say for certain but it probably has gone bad since it was opened.
How long in between coats should I wait?
1-2 hours.
How would you clean the pump after finishing spraying this
Use xylene or lacquer thinner.
We had our stamped concrete poured and sealed 2 years ago. It’s time to reseal, and I wanted to know if I can use superseal 25 for this task. The bucket says to use Supreme Seal for cured concrete, so now I’m not sure.
You can use the SS 25.
can super seal be tinted/
It cannot be custom-tinted.
Is there any advantage to using a polymeric joint sand in addition to the Super Seal 25 product, or, just use coarse sand for joint filler and have the Super Seal product ‘firm up’ the coarse sand?
Either sand is fine.
The polymeric is much more expensive. Is there a distinct advantage/durability of one versus the other?
The poly sand will last longer but at the same time, if you do not do it correctly, you can get poly sand haze that turns your pavers white in color and can be a pain to fix.
I used this sealer last weekend and within two hours there were bubbles forming all over the patio. How to I remedy this?
See this for tips: https://www.concretesealerreview.com/how-to-fix-concrete-sealer-bubbles/
What type of roller should I use to apply this product to semi smooth brick pavers?
Any roller that can handle oils or solvents. 1/2 to 5/8″ nap.
What is the difference between the SS25 and the SS30? Can both be used to seal and waterproof travertine? Is there a high-gloss version of either of these?Thanks!
The SS30 is a little shinier than the SS25.
Hello, I just wanted to know which of your products you recommend for a large outdoor travertine deck? I recently had a lot of tiles replaced because of water damage and I want to ensure that I seal them correctly this time as well as give the deck a high gloss wet look shine. Please extend your recommendation and how long can I expect the product to last? Thanks in advance.Anthony in Atlanta
Try the Super Seal 30 or the 25.
Can I use Superseal 25 SEMI-GLOSS for a regular concrete driveway?
No. Wet look and gloss sealers will not dry evenly on plain white concrete. They are only for decorative concrete surfaces such as concrete brick pavers, stamped, acid stained, aggregates, etc.
What is your product for the plain white concrete driveway?

My pool deck was sealed with ss25 a couple of years back , had some cracks during this time and was repaired just now , can i reseal the whole thing or do I need to strip it all off first ?
This is Bob from the Burg. I have sealed my exposed aggregate driveway and walkways with SS-25 and Gripper 4 times over the past 10 or so years with exceptional results. This year, I switched to the VOC compliant sealer and, for the first time, the sealing process was a disaster. A little background…I pressure washed all of the surfaces 3 days prior to sealing. I live in Pittsburgh and, at the time, we had not had any rain for 8 or so days. I apply the product with an 18″ roller and, on the edges and steps, a 4″ paint brush. This is the same application practice that I have used in the past. The 2 days that it took to apply the sealer, the temperature was in the upper 90s, but no precipitation. Again, I know what happens, from a prior experience, if the sealer is applied thick, it turns white; so I was very cautious no to apply the sealer to heavy.
Well, it turned white. The most unusual area was at the steps, I brushed the risers of the steps and you can see the exact bush marks even where I overlapped the top edge of the step with the roller, minutes after brushing.
So I need your advice…is the VOC that caused the problem, the heat, or some other issue? I have attached a few photos to give you some idea of the appearance. I look forward to your response. Also, when I reseal next summer, will I have to STRIP (Yikes, please say no) the surfaces before I seal again.
Thanks, Bob
It could be many things but it was probably not from using the VOC version. Try to fix by applying a solvent to restore the shine and remove the white. We suggest using xylene and that can be bought at most local stores. Do a test spot and happy to one of the affected areas to see if that fixes it. Just brush on or use a pump sprayer to apply.
Thanks so much for your quick response and help. A few simple questions…Are there certain weather conditions when using xylene as there are with sealer? Does the thickness of application important? Does it take a significant amount of time to dry to cure? And, do you sell xylene?
It has to be dry with no rain for 4-8 hours after applying. It is a solvent so thickness does not matter. All it does is resets the sealer. We sell a version of a similar solvent here on our other site. https://www.opwdecks.com/aromatic-100-solvent.htm
What if it gets rained on before it dries
It will ruin the finish and turn white.
After doing some serious research I purchased one gallon of SuperSeal 25 Semi-Gloss to seal and revitalize my stamped concrete entry way. My porch entry was remodeled in Nov 2018 with a slate stamp and colored Gull Grey. Overall the entry was in very good shape. I hand scrubbed the porch entry area (~60 sq. ft.) with warm water and liquid detergent, rinsed with water, and “blow dried” with my Ryobi lead blower. I waited 24 hours for the porch entry to completely dry and then swept and blow dried the concrete once more before applying the SuperSeal 25 Semi-Gloss. The outside temperature was 84 degrees and the entire surface was in the shade and not exposed to direct sunlight.
Following the instructions, I purchased two nylon, solvent-resistant brushes at Menard’s and began to apply the seal with a 2″ angle brush starting in the corner nearest my front door. The SuperSeal 25 applies very easily with a brush. It is a clear liquid with the consistency of an unbeaten egg white. I would recommend having a small cloth rag in your pocket to wipe off the rare droplets that may splash on your siding. I also used a 14″ square of cardboard to place the gallon of SuperSeal 25 on and moved that around as I applied the seal. I found it best to be patient as you apply the seal to a stamped concrete resembling natural slate stone which I have in my home. It requires you to use brush strokes in different directions to apply the seal evenly. Also the liquid seal will accumulate inside the horizontal and vertical cut marks made in the concrete so you’ll systematically need to use your brush to move that liquid seal out from the cut marks onto the concrete surface. It really helps to be wearing those heavy duty knee pads while applying the seal.
The seal does have a chemical solvent smell so I didn’t try to linger with my face over the open gallon container. That said, you will be fine if applying the sealer outside with a normal breeze.
I found the SuperSeal 25 easy to apply and ended up using approximately 1/3 of a gallon to finish my ~60 sq. feet of porch entry stamped concrete.
The final result is shown in my attached photos. I have included one “before picture” showing the Gull Gray stamped concrete near some potted plants and then what the porch concrete looks like after the SuperSeal 25 has been applied and allowed to dry for 24 hours. The finished, sealed concrete surface looks very wet (in my opinion) and beautifully brings out even the smallest details of the stamped slate rock in the concrete. It’s an amazing look and I am extremely happy with the SuperSeal 25 Semi-Gloss product. The Semi-Gloss finished with an extremely “wet look” in my opinion so I can’t imagine using a Full Gloss sealer…but, to each his own.
I’m extremely satisfied with the SuperSeal 25 Semi-Gloss stamped concrete seal product and give it my strongest recommendation. I hope my story and photos help you with your concrete sealing project. Eric
For pavers previously sealed with acrylic based sealer, 2-3 years ago, I would like to use superseal 25 applied with roller.
1) ok to go over previous acrylic product?
2) sprayer a little spendy at $120, is there a disadvantage with roller application?
Send pictures.
1. Maybe, depends on the condition.
2. No issues, you can roll it.
Thx for quick reply!
You should be okay with using the SS25 on this.
will this work on travertine tile for a shower?
No, it will not.
Will this product have a wet look finish?
Yes it will.
9 year old with wear no white patio/walkway I’m thinking super seal 25 spray on after power wash
Colored stamped concrete
That should work.
I live in central fl, driveway in full sun almost all day. Pavers were seal 4 years ago i think with a water base sealer by a contractor that installed them. water soak’s into pavers so i don,t think anything is left on them. Looking for a wet look with a little shine , what do you suggest? i have seen some driveway with white spots and i don’t want that to happen here. Thanks Bob
This will work for you.
ca you use Roller for pavers?
Yes.
can you use a roller for superseal 25??
In this picture the dark is wet. The other is dry. Is it ok to put the sealer 25 on it?
No, it has to be 100% dry for 24-48 hours.
We are planning on sealing older brushed concrete patio/poole surround and are looking for the best sealer
Look at using this product: https://www.concretesealerstore.com/m-non-gloss-sealer.html
Is it ok to put the sealer on without doing anything but pressure wash. It is stampkrete. I put sealer25 on last year but it may have been old. Had it for 3 years. It was beautiful looked like slate just the way it looked when installed several years ago.
You need to strip this off as the old coating turned white: https://www.concretesealerstore.com/concrete-sealer-stripper-5-gallon.html
I have a stamped concrete patio that was installed and sealed 2 years ago. Would I need to do any surface preparation before applying SS 25 or can it be applied directly over top of the existing sealer?
That would depend on the current condition and if the sealer has failed by discoloring? Pictures would help as well.
Sorry – just getting back to considering the job. Here are a couple of pics. Overall is still looks pretty good, some spots with minor whiting. Let me know what you think. Thanks
The issue you have is the old sealer has turned white. Adding more sealer on top will temporarily fix this but it will come back eventually. The only way to fix this is to chemically strip it all off.
How long do you wait to apply 2nd coat.
As soon as it is dry. Usually an hour or two.
I should note that we used the Matte product, not the semi-gloss.
I used the product today that was recommended superseal25. The patio is brushed concrete. I believe it needs another coat, but wanted to get your thoughts. We sprayed this on and rolled it to try to maintain consistency. Any thoughts on what we could do to even out the product?
Yes, try another coat to see if that helps.
Good Morning, we sealed out stamped concrete on May 10th, and as it dries we realize it needs a second coat. When do you recommend doing the second coat? Now, or letting it settle a bit more? Thank you
You can do it now.
Thanks!
Hello – we sealed our stamped patio with super seal 25 and I could not be more thrilled with how it turned out. My question is we have this step that is more like brushed concrete and I would also like to seal this – will this product work on the step? I have included a photo – thank you so much, you guys are great and I will always recommend to friends!!
It may dry blotchy on that. You could do a test spot and see.
Hi can you put super seal 25 over a water base seal that was Applied 2 years ago
Depends on if the current sealer has discolored by turning white and if the surface it porous to the point water can soak in?
In the event that the existing sealer has turned white and the concrete is porous to the point of soaking in water would I need to strip existing water based sealer off before applying sealer super seal 25 ?
Yes.
Can you use this over ss30 ??? – I have used ss30 in the past.
Thank You -Larry
Yes, you can.
Also forgot it’s for stamped concrete
I bought a Chaplin pump for the super seal 25 voc. I was wondering what size nozzle to use to apply sealer. I have a 5gpm n a 10gpm. Which one do you recommend? Thanks
Use the .5 GPM nozzle. Thanks
I live in NJ. Can I use this product or do I need the low VOC version
VOC version.
Last year I had my patio stripped & seal. I think they used Supreme Seal V-17. Can I use Super Seal 25 this time, would like more of a wet look this time or do I have to use the same type or strip it and reseal with Super Seal 25. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
Strip and redo so the SS25 can properly soak in and darken the color.
Is this good to use on unilock pavers? We had it sealed last year but alot of the unilock pavers turned white so the contractor has to redo it this spring/summer. I’m looking for a wet look.
The contractor will need to strip off the current sealer that has turned white first before resealing. The SS25 will work correctly as long as the current failed sealer is removed.
can this be used on outside travertine pavers?
Yes it can.
