Exposed aggregate is a stunning choice for driveways and outdoor spaces, but without the right protection, it can fall victim to erosion, staining and the harsh Australian sun. To keep your concrete looking vibrant and structurally sound, using a specialised exposed aggregate sealer is essential.


Exposed Aggregate Seal WB by Ecoshield is an eco-friendly, silica-based solution designed to harden and protect these unique surfaces.

Key Benefits of our Exposed Aggregate Sealer for Your Concrete

Choosing the right exposed aggregate sealer does more than just add a shine; it fundamentally improves the durability of your floor.


  • Vibrant Colour Enhancement: This sealer brings out the natural beauty and rich colours of the aggregate without changing the natural texture of the stone.


  • Superior Durability: The formula hardens and densifies the concrete, which significantly reduces dust accumulation and surface erosion.


  • UV Stability: Designed for harsh climates, it is UV-stable and non-yellowing, ensuring a permanent sheen that won't degrade in the sun.


  • Advanced Protection: It creates a tough barrier against water, chemicals, mold and mildew.


  • Efflorescence Resistance: It helps prevent the white, powdery salt deposits known as efflorescence, which extends the lifespan of the treated surface.


  • Eco-Friendly & Low Odour: Being water-based and free from toxic VOCs, it is virtually odourless and safe for both the applicator and the environment.

Application Method

Low-pressure sprayer and soft bristle broom

To achieve the best results, ensure the surface is clean and dry. Apply the sealer evenly using a sprayer and lightly broom it into the surface to ensure deep penetration. Avoid letting the product pool or puddle. While you can walk on it almost immediately, wait at least 2 days before driving vehicles on the surface.


Important Precautions

To ensure your exposed aggregate sealer performs perfectly, keep these tips in mind:


  • Temperature Matters: Do not apply if the temperature is above 30°C or below 5°C.

  • Watch the Weather: Avoid application if rain is expected within 24 hours.

  • Compatibility: Using this in combination with other manufacturers' products may impact its performance.
