Everyone is talking about one of SEK-Surebond’s newest sealers: SB-8700 Wet Look Joint Stabilizing Sealer with Antifungal. SB-8700 is a dual-purpose sealer that seals the surface with a luxurious, enhanced wet look and stabilizes joint sand to keep it from washing out of the joints. Joint sand that has been stabilized (hardened) also will resist weed growth and insect infestation. Because of its added anti-fungal agent, SB-8700 will prevent mold, algae, and moss growth. After application, SB-8700 is rain-safe within 90 minutes so you will no longer have to wait for the perfect weather day as with other sealers that may require 24 hours of cure time before they can get wet. SB-8700 is a premium solvent-based acrylic polymer sealer with exceptional breathability designed for immediate application after a new installation. SB-8700 will enhance new hardscapes and bring old ones back to life.
