Sealing new basement floor

[GSRinmyCRX]

we are in the process of building our dream home and I am wondering what options I have for sealing my concrete floor. the house is about 2000 sf and I am looking to put some type of sealer on the floor to give me some added moisture inhibiting protection. the house is a superior wall foundation with 6-10 inches of gravel under all of it, a number of French drains, vapor barrier under the concrete and the slab is about 4.5 inchers thick 4000 psi.

I fell like we have done a lot to prevent a damp basement but would like to seal up the concrete for one extra layer of protection.

should I put silicone or something in the sawed expansion joints?

ideally I would like a one coat system just for ease of installation and as far a color and finish I don't care because the basement will eventually get finished and the concrete covered with flooring.

any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

A good saturation of our Silax-Seal would be great.
Hidden protection.

I am looking for the same solution for my basement floor that is about 1.5 years old right now. My main goal is to keep the floor from dusting as it is everywhere. Will this help in this regards and does it have to be removed in the future when we finish the basement and put tile and carpet down?

A densifier may help (Such as TL37 or TL39) by decreasing moisture wicking but its not intended as a negative side waterproofer. Have a look at this article http://www.foundation-repair-guide.com/basement-waterproofing.html

No and we would be a good idea to help limit moisture mitigation.
