E5® Nano Silica densifies the concrete matrix to dramatically reduce permeability and promote ongoing self-sealing as the slab hydrates over time. Build waterproofing into the structure itself—cutting labor, simplifying schedules, and improving long-term ROI.
When water migrates through a permeable concrete matrix—or through laps, seams, and penetrations in membranes—adhesives and finishes begin to fail. Moisture also drives efflorescence and surface softening, compounding defects over time.
The result is delamination, patching, and partial closures that interrupt operations. Warranty disputes and replacement cycles inflate lifecycle cost and erode owner confidence.
Membranes, coatings, wet curing, and surface densifiers add passes, trades, and sequencing risk. Each additional step introduces variability in coverage, overlap, cure time, and weather exposure.
Missed windows trigger rework, schedule slips, and change orders. Crews spend more time managing logistics than delivering value, and budgets absorb the overrun.
Traditional approaches often leave pathways—shrinkage cracks, microcracks, and connected capillaries—where water under hydrostatic pressure can still move. Even minor discontinuities or penetrations become leak points once the structure is in service.
This accelerates corrosion, freeze–thaw scaling, and surface spalling, shortening service life. Owners face higher O&M, earlier rehab, and more frequent outages.
Waterproofing failures are visible and disruptive: wet floors, odor, stained finishes, and recurring callbacks. Critical assets like tunnels, garages, and occupied spaces suffer public perception hits when leaks persist.
Each incident drains contingency funds and undermines stakeholder trust. Teams become defensive instead of proactive, and future bids must price in perceived risk.
E5® Waterproofing is designed for both new construction and rehabilitation where hydrostatic pressure, moisture migration, or long-term durability are critical. By densifying the matrix and reducing permeability at the pore level, it protects finishes, adhesives, and reinforcement without the complexity of external membranes. Teams gain schedule certainty, while owners see fewer callbacks and lower lifecycle cost across below-grade, water-bearing, and high-traffic environments. The result is a built-in waterproofing strategy that scales from buildings to heavy infrastructure.
