E5® for Ready-Mix Producers – A Superior, More Consistent Mix

Your plant runs smoother when the mix is predictable. E5® solutions integrate cleanly at the batch, stabilize fresh properties, and support strong finishes in the field—so you cut service calls and grow repeat business.

The Challenge for Ready-Mix Producers

Delivering consistency across changing materials and weather is tough. Variable SCM supplies, shifting aggregates, and field pressure to “fix it on the fly” create QC noise and expensive callbacks.

Complex dosing programs and add-ons can slow charging and invite errors. When customers struggle to pump, place, or finish, they call the plant—hurting relationships and margins.

Inconsistent Materials

Fly ash and slag availability and quality vary by region and season, forcing mix changes that ripple through air, slump/flow, and strength gain.


Keeping performance steady across those shifts taxes QC and invites on-site adjustments that producers end up owning.

Labor-Intensive Dosing

Some chemistries require special handling, pre-blends, or extra plant steps that slow production.


More touches mean more opportunity for mistakes, training drift, and downtime when operators rotate.

Costly Callbacks

Poor workability, segregation, or unexpected dry-downs send trucks back and techs to the field.


Every callback burns fuel, time, and credibility—while tying up capacity you could be selling.

Pumpability & Cohesion Issues

Long lines and congested steel expose weak spots in mix cohesion and viscosity control.


Segregation, bleed, and slump loss frustrate crews and get blamed on the producer—even when conditions are the culprit.

Water Addition

Finish Variability

Draggy surfaces and short finishing windows push crews to add water, weakening the wear layer and triggering future complaints.


Those issues become “plant problems” under side-lighting, polish, or coatings.

Lack of Competitive Edge

When everyone promises “quality,” consistency wins. Without a clear technical differentiator, bids race to the bottom.


Producers need proofable, repeatable performance that contractors can feel on the slab.

Your Mix. Our Science. Unmatched Performance.

E5® integrates at the plant with simple, liquid dosing to stabilize hydration, cohesion, and surface behavior. You deliver mixes that pump, place, and finish predictably—reducing service calls while giving customers a reason to choose you again.

Seamless Batch Integration

E5® Internal Cure and Liquid Fly Ash are straightforward liquid admixtures dosed individually at the plant—no pre-blending, no special equipment. Operators hit target revolutions and send a more predictable load.
Simplicity shortens training curves and lowers error risk across shifts. You keep trucks cycling and maintain throughput on busy days.

Engineered Consistency (Not Commodity SCMs)

Liquid Fly Ash is formulated for uniform reactivity, delivering steadier air, slump/flow, and early strengths across seasons. It buffers variability when traditional ash/slag supply is tight or inconsistent.


Producers avoid emergency redesigns and on-site “fixes,” keeping QC inside the plant where it belongs.

Fewer Callbacks, Happier Customers

With improved cohesion and surface behavior, crews pump farther, consolidate cleaner, and close faster—without extra water.


When jobs pour smoothly, the phone stays quiet. Repeat orders go up while field support time goes down.

Pumpability & Cohesion at Distance

E5® Shot Cure increases viscosity control and particle suspension for high-flow mixes and long-line pumping. It limits segregation/bleed through congestion and curves.


That stability builds contractor confidence in your mix on complex placements and shotcrete scopes.

Finish-Friendly Surfaces

Surface-stabilizing chemistry reduces drag and keeps the finishing window open, so crews achieve uniform sheen without weakening the paste.


Better FF/FL and cleaner closes translate into fewer complaints tied to “plant mix,” protecting relationships.

A True Competitive Advantage

Back your quote with mix data, field outcomes, and a simpler pathway to flooring readiness. You’re not just cheaper—you’re measurably better.


Contractors feel the difference on the slab and prefer your ticket when schedules tighten.

 

Relevant Solutions

Spec-ready picks for ROI. The components below pair to reduce risk, cut lifecycle cost, and keep schedules moving.

E5® Internal Cure

Liquid admixture that extends effective hydration and refines capillaries, improving workability and reducing drying shrinkage/curl. Helps deliver adhesive-ready substrates without wet or topical cures—easing field friction tied to “dry-down.”

E5® Liquid Fly Ash

Engineered pozzolan replacement for a portion of cement that stabilizes fresh properties and early strengths. Provides consistent, predictable performance versus variable ash/slag supply while lowering embodied CO₂.

E5® Shot Cure

Viscosity-modifying, internally curing admixture for shotcrete and high-flow placements. Improves cohesion and reduces segregation/bleed, supporting longer pump distances and denser, more durable sections.

E5® Miracle Aid

Topical finishing aid that increases surface workability without adding water, reducing drag and passes. Supports uniform closes and fewer “mix” complaints tied to finish appearance.
