SG+ Pro Tech Series sealer from Black Diamond Coatings is a color enhancing, semi-gloss to glossy sealer for masonry and concrete surfaces. Black Diamond says it is ideal for concrete, brick pavers, and decorative concrete surfaces. The sealer is breathable and can be applied to damp surfaces. SG+ also contains an industrial-grade UV additive to protect the sealer and surface from the damaging effects of the sun.

According to Black Diamond, benefits of SG+ include the following:
• Protects pavers
• Restores faded colors
• Water and stain resistant
• UV additive for longer life
• Penetrating sealer
• Increased coverage per square foot of product

The sealer is available in one-, five- and 55-gallon containers. Users should be able to achieve 200 to 400 square feet of coverage, depending on the surface porosity and application method. See the company’s website for more information.
