E5® Nano Silica densifies and hardens concrete from within, creating a tougher, less permeable matrix that stands up to abrasion, chemicals, and freeze–thaw cycles. The result is longer service life, fewer repairs, and predictable performance in the harshest environments.
Forklifts, AGVs, and hard-wheeled traffic grind down unprotected surfaces. Paste loss leads to dusting, raveling, and uneven wear that shortens finish life.
As texture increases and fines release, cleaning costs rise and safety/quality issues appear. Owners face frequent repairs, overlays, or slab replacement.
Water within a permeable matrix expands upon freezing, generating internal pressures that cause microcracking and surface scaling. De-icing salts intensify the damage.
Spalled, flaked surfaces require grinding and patching—and the underlying cracks become ingress routes for more cycles of damage.
Salts, sulfates, and aggressive liquids break down cementitious phases and weaken the near-surface zone. Chlorides accelerate reinforcement corrosion in decks and pavements.
Once chemistry compromises the matrix, performance and appearance degrade rapidly, forcing earlier-than-planned rehabilitation.
Without internal protection, the top few millimeters remain porous and vulnerable. Differential drying and finishing defects become long-term weak points.
These areas trigger dusting, efflorescence, and localized failures that propagate under traffic, inflating lifecycle cost and downtime.
E5® Durability Solutions address both new construction and rehabilitation where abrasion, chemicals, chlorides, or weather extremes challenge long-term performance. By densifying the matrix and hardening the surface, the system extends service life across floors, pavements, and structures. Owners gain fewer outages and lower lifecycle cost; builders gain predictable schedules and cleaner handoffs.
