CONCRETE CALCULATOR

Our Solutions

E5® products are colloidal silica nanotechnology based. From moisture control to finish quality, E5® builds performance into the concrete itself—simpler specs, fewer steps, and measurable results across every slab.

E5-1

Proven by Data, Backed by Labs

Independent testing confirms PRAH level performance: ACI 212.3R10 (Ch. 15) with ASTM C494 Type S classification. DIN 10485 / BS EN 123908 (~72 psi, 3day) shows 50–90% permeability reduction, with penetration depth improved from 0.89 in (control) to 0.19 in using E5® Internal Cure + Liquid Fly Ash. Supported by university research on nano silica driven self healing durability.

Build performance into the slab—moisture, durability, finishability, workability, and sustainability. Choose a solution to see benefits, use cases, and specs.

Finishability – Smoother Closes, Fewer Passes

 

Stabilize the surface so tools glide—not grind. Achieve uniform sheen and a denser near-surface paste without adding water, even in challenging weather.

Workability – Consistent, Pumpable Mixes

 

Improve cohesiveness and flow for long-line pumping (200–300 ft) and complex placements. Reduce segregation/bleed and make concrete easier to place and consolidate.

Durability – Engineered to Last

 

Resist abrasion, salts, and freeze–thaw with a harder, less permeable wear layer. Reduce maintenance and extend asset life across pavements, decks, and high-traffic floors.

Shrinkage & Curling – Flatter, More Stable Slabs

 

Manage moisture from within to lower drying shrinkage and curling, reduce random cracking, and deliver predictable FF/FL for finishes and floor coverings.

Moisture Mitigation – Adhesive-Ready Substrates

 

Proactively manage slab moisture and surface pH to protect adhesives and coverings. Options for new pours and existing slabs—including warrantied pathways.

Waterproofing – Protection From Within

 

Densify the matrix and cut permeability by up to 90% to resist hydrostatic pressure without external membranes. Ideal for below-grade, tunnels, and water-contact structures.

Sustainability – Lower Carbon, Higher Performance

 

Cut cement, eliminate topical/wet cures, and reduce hazardous waste while maintaining strength, durability, and schedule. Documentable CO₂ savings, spec-ready.

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers for spec-driven teams. We’ve pulled together the most common questions on dosing, performance, and compatibility so you can finalize specs with confidence. 

How is E5® different from topical sealers and curing compounds?

E5® works inside the concrete—densifying and curing the matrix—so it doesn’t rely on a surface film. In many specs it replaces wet curing and multiple topicals, delivering lower permeability and higher surface hardness with less maintenance.

Can E5® replace membranes for below grade work?

Often, yes. E5® systems achieve PRAH-level permeability reduction (third-party verified), but suitability depends on hydrostatic head, joints/penetrations, and the project spec—some codes still require membranes in specific areas.

Will E5® change my finish process?

You’ll get a longer, more controllable finishing window with less drag and a denser paste—so fewer water-adds and more uniform FF/FL. Many teams pair Internal Cure with Miracle Aid or Catalyst for even smoother troweling without extra steps.
