E5® Shield acts as a densifying agent, reducing porosity and enhancing the material’s resistance to moisture ingress. In hospitals, this can contribute to safer environments by preventing the growth of mold and mildew, which thrive in damp conditions.
Designed with E5® Nano Silica, E5® Shield increases pozzolanic reactivity at the concretes surface to form permanent, insoluble bonds in Portland Cement Concrete (PCC).
Excess moisture in concrete poses a significant threat to floor coverings, leading to various damaging effects. For existing concrete, E5® Shield maintains optimal moisture levels in concrete which can trigger adhesive failure. Adhesives used to secure flooring materials depend on a stable substrate, and excess moisture can compromise their bonding capabilities, resulting in detachment and a weakened foundation for the floor covering.
Reduces MVER and lowers permeability of existing slabs—useful as an alternative to epoxy moisture mitigation.
Enhances polished/dyed concrete; burnish interior slabs to a higher luster when desired.
Water-based formula supports healthier facilities and simplified compliance.

E5® Shield is a proven, practical surface sealant—durable, moisture-mitigating, and Zero VOC. Download the Technical Data Sheet for coverage, application, and handling details.
E5® Shield is highly effective on its own or in combination with other E5 admixtures. If using multiple admixtures, it is critical to add each one individually to ensure the fullest efficacy.
Apply at a rate of 300-400 sq. ft. per gallon. Use a low-pressure sprayer, holding the tip 6-24 inches (15-60 cm) above the surface for even distribution.
Apply at a rate of 1,500-2,000 sq. ft. per gallon. Spread evenly with a microfiber pad and allow to dry. Once dry, finish by burnishing the surface with a diamond-impregnated pad to achieve the desired sheen.
The shelf life is 18 months in the original unopened container. Store in a well-ventilated, cool, and dry location between 40°–130°F (4°–54°C). Protect from freezing, direct sunlight, and UV exposure.
