The Cure to Concrete is Here.

Nano Silica Technology.

Transforming Concrete from Within.

At E5®, we believe in the future of high-performance, sustainable concrete. Our full suite of nano-silica admixtures and topical treatments are engineered to solve the most pressing challenges in the industry. We go beyond traditional methods to deliver solutions that increase durability, enhance workability, and provide lasting protection, all while significantly reducing your project's carbon footprint.

 

The Cure to Concrete is here: Colloidal Nano Silica.

Transform concrete from within with E5's full suite of nano-silica admixtures and topical treatments. Explore our revolutionary products that increase durability, enhance workability, and provide lasting protection for any project. 

 

E5® Integral Admixtures

Curing from the Inside Out.

E5® Internal Cure is the first admixture proven to provide internal curing for concrete. This revolutionary product eliminates the need for wet curing and topical compounds by controlling the evaporation of mix water to ensure increased hydration. The result is a highly durable concrete that is easier to pump, place, and finish, with a significant reduction in drying shrinkage and curling. 

The New Standard for Sustainable Concrete.

Our E5® Liquid Fly Ash is a proprietary, silicate-free Nano Silica blend that serves as a superior pozzolan addition. Engineered to reduce or replace cement and other supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), it dramatically reduces your project's carbon footprint. It delivers predictable, high-quality concrete with improved workability, and decreased permeability and efflorescence.

The Viscosity Solution for Shotcrete.

E5® Shot Cure is a viscosity-modifying, internally curing nano-silica admixture engineered specifically for Shotcrete applications that demand density and strength. It controls moisture while improving the viscosity and strength of shotcrete in both its plastic and hardened states. It greatly improves the cohesiveness within high-flow mixtures and prevents segregation and bleeding, making it the ideal solution for complex structures like skate parks, swimming pools, tunnels, and retaining walls.

E5® Topical Applications

Unleash the Ultimate Finish.

Used exclusively with E5® Internal Cure, E5® Catalyst is a topical, silicate-free finishing system that creates an extremely hard and dense concrete surface. Applied during finishing, it increases pozzolanic reactivity to form permanent, insoluble bonds, providing superior abrasion resistance and moisture mitigation for high-traffic slabs. It also reduces equipment drag, making troweling smooth and effortless.

MiracleAid - Copy

Workability Without Compromise.

E5® Miracle Aid is a Nano Silica-based topical finishing aid that increases the workability of the concrete surface without altering the critical water-to-cement ratio. It provides a more durable surface with reduced water vapor transmission, abrasion resistance, and a denser, less permeable surface for liquid penetration. This product reduces equipment drag, leading to a smoother, more effortless troweling experience and a superior finish.

Shield - Copy

Protecting the Existing, from the Inside.

E5® Shield is a penetrating, moisture-blocking solution for existing concrete. This nano acrylic sealant acts as a powerful densifying agent, reducing porosity and enhancing resistance to moisture ingress. It creates a dust-proof, harder, and denser surface that is exceptionally resistant to the damaging effects of water and salt, making it an environmentally friendly and effective alternative to epoxy moisture mitigation.

Protect - Copy

Lasting Beauty and Permanent Surface Defense.

E5® Protect is a state-of-the-art, Nano Acrylic sealant engineered for superior, lasting protection on finished concrete. This Zero VOC, environmentally friendly solution deeply penetrates the surface to create a dust-proof finish that resists water, de-icing salts, hot tire pickup, and stains. Ideal for polished, dyed, and exterior concrete, it provides a durable, non-yellowing, low gloss finish that requires no rinsing or removal, accelerating project cleanup and protecting your aesthetic investment.
