E5 Nano-silica
Internal curing concrete admixture
E5 Internal Cure is a revolutionary nano-silica admixture that cures concrete from the inside out. It controls evaporation to ensure cement hydration, eliminates the need for traditional curing methods, and reduces shrinkage, cracking, and curling. Makes concrete easier to pump, place, and finish while providing faster access for construction - saving up to 7 days. Typical dosage is approximately 0.26L per 100 kg cementitious material.

Why TMB Concreting Uses E5: Labour Savings and Better Finishing
It just allows the water to stay in the concrete and gives us more time to get the whole slab in before having to drop anyone back. We easily have one less, maybe two less guys per pour from using E5.

Florida Tilt-Up, Supercharged with E5 Admixtures
What helps me sleep at night is knowing that we have the E5 internal cure which greatly reduces — in this case has eliminated — our shrinkage cracking. The GC's production schedule is actually going to be ahead because his 7-day breaks have already met or exceeded his 28-day breaks. He's happy, the finisher's happy, I'm happy. Thank you, E5.

E5 Internal Cure Testimony — Brett Grambower
We just haven't had a problem with cracking on one of them yet, which is amazing. We were getting 48 MPa in five to six days, which is a lot quicker than normally without it. It's worth the money — I'd recommend it.

E5 Internal Cure Testimony — QTM Enterprises
The workability of the product has increased probably about 20%. The finish is 15 to 20% better as well. We're getting a lot more strength out of the concrete and durability. 100% everyone should be using E5 — it's a good product.
