E5® solutions give K-12 and higher-ed facilities a durable, hygienic foundation that stands up to constant foot traffic, rolling carts, and rigorous cleaning. Our system densifies the matrix, manages moisture, and supports long-life finishes so classrooms and corridors stay open and on schedule.
In educational environments, the concrete slab carries the daily load of instruction—corridors, classrooms, labs, cafeterias, and athletic spaces all depend on surfaces that stay safe, cleanable, and resilient under heavy use. Floors must tolerate rolling carts, frequent sanitation, and changing occupancy patterns without sacrificing appearance or uptime.
Traditional concrete can struggle under these demands. Porosity and moisture can harbor contaminants and encourage mold or mildew; abrasion and differential drying lead to dusting and efflorescence. Under resilient flooring, elevated RH or high surface pH can compromise adhesives, causing delamination, repairs, and schedule disruptions.
Excess slab moisture and high pH can compromise flooring adhesives and lead to delamination and costly callbacks.
Schools emphasize healthy materials/IAQ and preventive maintenance, driving expectations for low-emitting, easy-to-clean surfaces.
Work windows are constrained by the school calendar; projects often target summer or off-hours to minimize disruption, demanding predictable placement and finishing.
Before resilient flooring, RH testing per ASTM F2170 and substrate prep per ASTM F710 are commonly required to protect adhesives and warranties.
E5® Nano Silica solutions densify and protect the slab to control moisture, support rigorous cleaning, and withstand student traffic—delivering predictable schedules and finishes that last.
Internal curing and engineered pozzolans stabilize workability and reduce permeability for fewer surprises on pour day.
Manage moisture within the slab and condition the surface for adhesive-friendly pH ahead of resilient installs.
Increase resistance to abrasion, salts, and day-to-day abuse to extend finish life and reduce maintenance cycles.
Internal curing that densifies the matrix and helps control moisture from within—ideal for classroom, corridor, and lab foundations.
With Internal Cure, conditions the surface, controls moisture migration and pH, and builds a hard, dense wear layer for floor-covering readiness.
Penetrating protection for existing slabs; helps reduce porosity and moisture ingress before new finishes.
