Cure Concrete From The Inside Out | Build Confidently | E5® Nano Silica

Validation

Permeability Under Pressure (DIN 1048-5 / BS EN 12390-8)

E5® systems have demonstrated large reductions in penetration depth (e.g., ~0.89 in control to ~0.19 in with E5® IC + LFA). That pore refinement translates into real waterproofing benefits.

PRAH Classification (ACI 212.3R-10, Ch. 15)

Unlike damp-proofing, E5® acts as a Permeability Reducing Admixture for Hydrostatic conditions (PRAH) in verified testing—supporting below-grade and water-exposed designs.

Abrasion & Surface Hardness

Densified near-surface zones deliver higher abrasion resistance and dust-proofing, supporting long-wear floors in warehouses, retail, and transit concourses.

I

Shrinkage & Curling Control

Internal curing reduces capillary stresses that drive drying shrinkage, while improved hydration yields flatter, more stable slabs with fewer cracks.

Finishability & Flatness (FF/FL)

Surface micro-grout and moisture stability give crews back control, enabling higher, more consistent FF/FL without extra topical steps.

Freeze-Thaw & Chloride Exposure

A tighter matrix and lower permeability help resist freeze-thaw damage and chloride ingress—key for pavements, decks, and cold-climate assets.

Solutions

Finishability

Difficult slabs increase labor, slow finishing, and risk callbacks. E5 makes concrete easier to place and finish, delivering flatter floors faster with less effort—reducing risk and improving ROI.

Workability

Poor workability adds labor costs and delays. E5 enhances pumpability and consistency, allowing longer placement distances and smoother pours, so projects finish on time and on budget.

Durability

When slabs wear down early, repairs eat into margins and delay operations. E5 strengthens the concrete matrix, ensuring longer service life and measurable ROI on every project.

Explore Solution

Shrinkage

Cracks and curling undermine trust and require costly fixes. E5 reduces shrinkage by up to 70%, delivering flatter, more reliable slabs that last longer and protect your bottom line.

Explore Solution

Moisture Mitigation

Flooring failures from moisture migration cost owners and contractors alike. E5 locks in moisture control and stabilizes pH at the surface—preventing callbacks and keeping schedules on track.

Sustainability

Eliminating curing compounds can result in a significant reduction of 880 lbs of CO₂ for every 100,000 square feet poured. By adopting E5® Moisture Mitigation, engineers and contractors can contribute to lower carbon footprints.
