Acrylic and Siloxane Driveway Sealers -- Effective and Economical Driveway Sealing Solutions

When it comes to protecting your driveway from the elements, there are a few different types of sealers to choose from. Each type has its own unique set of benefits and drawbacks, so it's important to understand the options before making a decision. Here, we'll take a look at two popular types of driveway sealers: acrylic sealer and siloxane hydrophobic sealer.

Acrylic Driveway Sealers

Acrylic sealer is a type of water-based or solvent-based sealer that is made from a mixture of acrylic resins and water-borne carriers or solvents. It is designed to protect concrete and asphalt surfaces from weathering, staining, and other types of damage. Acrylic sealer is easy to apply and dries quickly, making it a popular choice for homeowners looking to seal their driveway.


One of the main benefits of acrylic sealer is that it provides a durable, long-lasting protective barrier for your driveway. It can help prevent water from seeping into the surface of your driveway, which can cause cracks and other types of damage over time. Acrylic sealer is also resistant to UV rays and heat, so it won't fade or discolor in the sun.

Siloxane Driveway Sealers

Siloxane hydrophobic sealer is another type of sealer that is designed to protect concrete and asphalt surfaces. It is made from a mixture of siloxane and water repellent chemicals, and it creates a protective barrier that helps prevent water from seeping into the surface of your driveway. Siloxane hydrophobic sealer is often used to protect driveways that are prone to freeze-thaw damage, as it helps prevent water from getting into cracks and causing further damage.


One of the main benefits of siloxane hydrophobic sealer is its water repellent properties. It is highly effective at preventing water from seeping into the surface of your driveway, which can help extend the life of your driveway and reduce the need for costly repairs. Siloxane hydrophobic sealer is also resistant to UV rays and heat, so it won't fade or discolor in the sun.
