A Nano Acrylic Sealant for Lasting Concrete Protection

E5® Shield is a deep-penetrating, moisture-blocking nano acrylic sealant for existing concrete. It creates a dust-proof, harder, denser surface with exceptional resistance to water, de-icing salts, UV, stains, and hot/cold climates. As a clear, odorless solution that requires no rinsing, it saves time and eliminates hazardous waste steps—while also serving as a practical alternative to epoxy moisture mitigation on many projects.

Penetrating, Moisture-Blocking Protection

Reduces MVER and lowers permeability of existing slabs—useful as an alternative to epoxy moisture mitigation.

Harder, Denser, Dust-Proof Surface

Densifies the surface to resist abrasion, water absorption, rain, UV, and de-icing salts.

Non-Yellowing, Low-Gloss Finish

Enhances polished/dyed concrete; burnish interior slabs to a higher luster when desired.

Zero VOC, Non-Hazardous, Biodegradable

Water-based formula supports healthier facilities and simplified compliance.

Technical Data & Application

E5® Shield 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 ensure the fullest efficacy.

Surface Performance & Appearance

Exterior Application

Apply at a rate of 300-400 sq. ft. per gallon. Use a low-pressure sprayer, holding the tip 6-24 inches (15-60 cm) above the surface for even distribution. 

Interior Application

Apply at a rate of 1,500-2,000 sq. ft. per gallon. Spread evenly with a microfiber pad and allow to dry. Once dry, finish by burnishing the surface with a diamond-impregnated pad to achieve the desired sheen.

Packaging

Available in pails (5 gallons), drums (55 gallons), and totes (275 gallons).

Storage

The shelf life is 18 months in the original unopened container. Store in a well-ventilated, cool, and dry location between 40°–130°F (4°–54°C). Protect from freezing, direct sunlight, and UV exposure.
