E5® Concrete Solutions

Built From Within: Concrete That Solves Its Own Problems

E5® Nano Silica solutions transform concrete at the molecular level. By densifying the matrix, controlling moisture, and improving workability and finishability, E5® helps you deliver stronger, longer‑lasting slabs with fewer steps and fewer callbacks.

Durability

Build a denser, harder concrete matrix that stands up to abrasion, salts/chemicals, and freeze‑thaw. E5® internal curing and surface chemistry create long‑term resistance and dust‑proof performance for high‑traffic and harsh environments.

Moisture Mitigation

Proactively control moisture and surface pH to protect adhesives and floor coverings—avoiding delamination and costly schedule delays. E5® provides a permanent, warrantied system for new or existing slabs.

Shrinkage & Curling

Manage water inside the mix to reduce drying shrinkage and differential moisture loss—the root causes of cracking and curl. E5® internal cure and finishing aids deliver flatter, more stable slabs and predictable schedules.

Explore Shrinkage Control

Finishability

Get smoother, denser finishes with less drag and more control—even in tough weather. E5® finishing system extends the workable window, reduces fatigue, and improves long‑term abrasion resistance.

Explore Finishability

Workability

Improve flow, cohesion, and pump distances (200–300 ft) without segregation. E5® delivers consistent, predictable mixes across geographies and seasons—making placement and finishing faster and easier.

Sustainability

Lower CO₂ by reducing cement content (up to ~10% with E5® Liquid Fly Ash) and eliminating topical curing compounds with E5® Internal Cure. Zero‑VOC protectants help meet sustainability goals without sacrificing schedule or performance.

Proven by Data, Backed by Labs

Independent testing confirms PRAH‑level performance: ACI 212.3R‑10 (Ch. 15) with ASTM C494 Type S classification. DIN 1048‑5 / BS EN 12390‑8 (~72 psi, 3‑day) shows 50–90% permeability reduction, with penetration depth improved from 0.89 in (control) to 0.19 in using E5® Internal Cure + Liquid Fly Ash. Supported by university research on nano‑silica‑driven self‑healing durability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers for spec-driven teams. We’ve pulled together the most common questions on dosing, performance, and compatibility so you can finalize specs with confidence.

How is E5® different from topical sealers and curing compounds?

It densifies and protects the concrete from within, replacing multiple external steps.

Can E5® replace membranes for below‑grade work?

E5® provides PRAH‑level permeability reduction validated by third‑party testing; see project conditions and spec guidance.

Will E5® change my finish process?

You’ll have a longer, more controlled finishing window with reduced drag and a denser surface.
