Manufactured by the world’s leading producer of nano silica materials, E5® Nano Silica is changing the concrete industry for the better.
Suspended colloidal silica, a nanomaterial with particles typically in the range of 1 to 100 nanometers, plays a crucial role in enhancing the properties of fresh state and hardened concrete. By understanding the varying effects of different particle sizes, surface areas and chemical properties of different nano particles, we have been able to target challenges specific to the concrete industry.

E5® Integral Admixtures
-
E5® Internal Cure
E5® Internal Cure is the first admixture proven to provide internal curing of concrete. It controls the evaporation of the mix water to ensure increased hydration of cement. E5® Internal Cure replaces the need for traditional wet cure and curing compounds, while making the concrete easier to pump, place, and finish.
-
E5® Liquid Fly Ash
E5® Liquid Fly Ash integral admixture is a silicate-free, proprietary blend of Nano Silica materials. It is engineered to deliver predictable results in every mix, unlike recycled toxic fly ash materials which vary greatly in availability, cost, composition, and quality.
-
E5® Shot Cure
E5® Shot Cure is designed to improve the physical and mechanical performance of shotcrete. It greatly improves the cohesiveness within high flow mixtures prevents segregation and bleeding. The surface is workable and finishable for longer periods of time with increased cementitious hydration.
E5® Topical Applications
-
E5® Catalyst
E5® Catalyst is the first silicate free, integral concrete finishing system that controls surface density, moisture migration and surface pH while improving the flatness and levelness of concrete. E5® Catalyst increases pozzolanic reactivity to form permanent, insoluble bonds in Portland Cement Concrete (PCC).
-
E5® Miracle Aid
E5® Miracle Aid gives the finisher both immediate and post-placement advantages to freshly placed concrete. Concrete surfaces treated with E5® Miracle Aid reduce equipment drag, making troweling smooth and effortless. The result is less finisher fatigue, and smoother finishes.
-
E5® Shield
Penetrating, moisture blocking solution for existing concrete. E5® Shield can be used as an alternative to epoxy moisture mitigation. Appying E5® Shield to the surface of concrete maintains optimal moisture levels in concrete which can trigger adhesive failure. E5® Shield acts as a densifying agent, reducing porosity and enhancing the material’s resistance to moisture ingress.
-
E5® Protect
E5® Protect is an environmentally friendly sealant that deeply penetrates and chemically reacts with concrete to evacuate existing contaminants and retards future penetration of chlorides, greases, oils and acids. It creates a dust-proof surface that is harder, denser and exceptionally resistant to the damaging effects of water and salt.
