A Pozzolanic Admixture for Cement Reduction & Sustainability

E5® Liquid Fly Ash (LFA) is a silicate-free, proprietary Nano Silica blend that replaces or reduces cement and traditional SCMs while maintaining mix properties and volume. Unlike recycled fly ash that fluctuates in quality and availability, E5® LFA delivers consistent, predictable performance with better plant air quality than powder CCR alternatives.

Superior Consistency & Workability

Makes concrete easier to pump, place, and finish. Improves flow and cohesion on long runs and congested steel—without adding water.

Reliable SCM Reduction, Season to Season

Engineered Nano Silica chemistry delivers predictable results across geographies and suppliers, avoiding the variability of recycled fly ash.

Lower Permeability, Cleaner Surfaces

Densifies the paste/matrix to limit moisture pathways and surface salts—helping protect finishes and adhesives and reduce callbacks.

Strength Retention with Cement Reduction

Sustain required strengths while reducing total cementitious content; fine-tune with quick trial mixes for your local materials.

Liquid Format, Safer Plant Operations

Minimizes airborne dust versus powder CCR, improving air quality and housekeeping at the ready-mix plant.

Sustainability You Can Specify

Enables meaningful cement reduction to cut embodied carbon—supporting sustainability targets without adding steps or slowing schedules.

Technical Data & Application

E5® Liquid Fly Ash is highly effective on its own or in combination with other E5 admixtures. When using multiple admixtures, it is critical to add each one individually to the concrete mix to ensure the fullest efficacy. The product has been tested by a third-party lab and qualifies for SCM replacement or reduction.

Technical Specifications

Dosage

Recommended dosage is 8–20 fl oz per 100lb of cementitious material—confirm with trial mixes to tune for local materials and ambient conditions.

Mixing

For best results, the product should be introduced to the concrete mixer at the ready-mix location. It is recommended that the combined materials be mixed for approximately 70 revolutions. 

Packaging

E5® Liquid Fly Ash is available in pails (5 gallons), drums (55 gallons), totes (275 gallons), and tankers (bulk).

Environmental Impact

The product has a Carbon Footprint (Cradle to Gate) Global Warming Potential (GWP, 100 years) of 491 kilograms of CO2.

Storage

It should be stored in a well-ventilated, cool, and dry location between 40°F and 130°F (4°C and 54°C). The shelf life is 18 months in its original unopened container. It must be protected from freezing, direct sunlight, and UV exposure. 

Sustainability You Can Specify

For Engineers and Architects

This product offers a reliable way to sustain strength requirements and decrease permeability, which are critical for long-term structural integrity and performance. 

For General Contractors

E5® Liquid Fly Ash helps with project management by improving workability and making concrete more consistent, which can lead to more efficient placement and finishing.

For Ready-Mix Producers

The product's consistent composition and liquid form improve air quality and worker safety in the ready-mix plant, offering a reliable alternative to traditional fly ash that can vary greatly in quality and availability.

For Finishers

The improved workability and finishability of the concrete mean less effort and better results on the job site. 

For Developers and Government:

The significant reduction in carbon footprint makes this an attractive solution for sustainable building projects and civil infrastructure, helping to meet environmental and regulatory compliance goals.
