A Nano Silica–Based Finishing Aid for Enhanced Workability & Durability

E5® Miracle Aid increases the workability of the concrete surface without changing the water-to-cement ratio. Its Nano Silica chemistry boosts surface pozzolanic reactivity to form permanent, insoluble bonds in PCC—delivering smoother finishing, less drag, and a denser, more stable surface.

Smoother Troweling, Less Drag

Makes finishing feel controlled and effortless, reducing equipment drag and finisher fatigue for cleaner, more uniform surfaces.

Protects the Water-to-Cement Ratio

Enhances surface workability without adding water or altering w/c, preserving long-term durability.

Denser, More Resistant Finish

Increases surface pozzolanic reaction to tighten the matrix—supporting abrasion resistance and reduced liquid penetration.

Reduced Water Vapor Transmission

Helps limit moisture movement through the surface for better performance under coverings. 

Surface Control When Weather Isn’t Perfect

Stabilizes the surface even under unfavorable conditions to keep finishing on track.

Zero VOC & Non-Hazardous

Silicate-free, biodegradable formula with Zero VOC for a cleaner jobsite profile.

Technical Data & Application

E5® Miracle Aid is highly effective on its own or in combination with other E5 admixtures. If using multiple admixtures, it is critical to add each one individually to the concrete mix to ensure the fullest efficacy.

Technical Specifications

Application

Apply E5® Miracle Aid using a low-pressure pump or power sprayer at any time during the placement or finishing process. Spray the concrete surface holding the tip 6-24 inches (15-60 cm) above the surface and moving side to side to achieve even distribution. Apply additional product as needed. 

Coverage

 500-1000 square feet per gallon. 

Packaging

E5® Miracle Aid is available in pails (5 gallons), drums (55 gallons), and totes (275 gallons).

Storage

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

Optimized for Your Role

For Engineers and Architects

This product provides a reliable way to maintain the integrity of the concrete by not affecting the water-to-cement ratio while ensuring a smoother, higher-quality surface finish. The added benefits of curling reduction, abrasion resistance, and reduced permeability address critical long-term performance concerns.

For General Contractors

E5® Miracle Aid improves on-site efficiency by making the finishing process easier and faster, helping to keep projects on schedule and within budget. 

For Finishers

The product directly benefits finishers by reducing equipment drag and physical fatigue, leading to a more effortless troweling experience and a superior final product. 

Packaging & Storage

5-gal pails, 55-gal drums, 275-gal totes; 40–130°F storage; 18-month shelf life; protect from freezing/UV.

For Developers and Government

Its ability to improve the longevity and quality of the concrete surface, along with its resistance to liquid penetration, makes it a valuable solution for large-scale projects and civil infrastructure.
