Why, What & How

Why Use the E5 Calculator?

  • Fast & Accurate — Saves time on bid prep and jobsite planning.

  • Transparent — Every calculation is shown step-by-step for verification.

  • Optimized for E5 Products — Uses recommended dosage ranges directly from E5 technical data.

  • Adaptable — Works for both imperial and metric projects.

About the E5 Products

E5® Internal Cure
  • Purpose: Provides continuous curing from within the concrete, eliminating the need for wet curing.

  • Benefits: Reduced cracking, improved hydration, increased durability.

  • Dosage: Typically 4 oz per 100 lb of cementitious material (adjustable per mix design).

E5® Liquid Fly Ash
  • Purpose: A liquid pozzolan that replaces or supplements traditional SCMs like fly ash and slag.

  • Benefits: Reduced cement content, improved finish, decreased permeability, lower carbon footprint.

  • Dosage: Typically 8–20 oz per 100 lb of cementitious material.

E5® Catalyst

(Note: Must be used in conjunction with E5 Internal Cure)

  • Purpose: Surface densifier applied during finishing to improve hardness and abrasion resistance.

  • Benefits: Smoother troweling, reduced drag, less equipment wear.

  • Dosage: Based on coverage area—generally 800–1,000 ft² per gallon.

The Math Behind the Calculator

Concrete Volume
Slab Example:
Volume (yd³) = (Length in feet × Width in feet × Thickness in inches) ÷ 324
(324 = 27 ft³ per yd³ × 12 in per ft)

Footing/Beam Example:
Volume (yd³) = (Length in feet × Width in inches × Height in inches) ÷ 324

E5 Internal Cure & E5 Liquid Fly Ash
Total ounces = (Cement Weight in pounds ÷ 100) × Dosage Rate in ounces per 100 pounds
Gallons = Total ounces ÷ 128

E5 Catalyst
Gallons Needed = Surface Area in square feet ÷ Coverage Rate in square feet per gallon
