Max Flo Integra 4 (Powder)

Max Flo Integra 4 (Powder) is a single pack water proofing, plasticizing, permeability reducingshrinkage reducing, corrosion inhibiting admixture in powder form. It chemically modifies the cement matrix by reacting with the cements paste, thereby converting the most water soluble constituents and unhydrated cement into insoluble minerals. Due to the unique technology of modifying the cement paste chemically, the large numbers of the macropores are reduced in size to micropores. These micropores are hydrophobic in nature, blocking condensation.

USES

Max Flo Integra 4 (Powder) is used to reduce permeability and enhance durability of concrete in both above and below ground applications. It is suitable for parking structures, ready-mix concrete, wastewater treatment plants, underground vaults, pile foundations, tanks, pits, swimming pools, water storage tanks, tunnels, and bridge structures (precast and cast-in-place).

ADVANTAGES

• Incredibly low water absorption
• Reduces water-cement ratio (10–15%)
• Highly cohesive mix eliminating voids and honeycombs
• Improves resistance to sulphate, chloride, and chemical attack
• Reduces carbonation of concrete
• Ready to use and easily dispersed powder
• Chloride-free and safe for reinforced and prestressed concrete
• Minimizes segregation
• Significantly reduces drying shrinkage
• Lower heat of hydration
• Excellent freeze-thaw resistance
• Anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties

TYPICAL PROPERTIES AT 25°C

Typical results under laboratory conditions. Results may vary depending on site and usage conditions.

COMPATIBILITY

Max Flo Integra 4 (Powder) can be used with all types of cements and cementitious materials like fly ash, GGBS, micro silica etc. Max Flo Integra 4 (Powder) should not be pre-mixed with other admixtures unless recommended by Ressichem Technicians.

DOSAGE

Recommended dosage is 0.8 –2.5 % by weight of cementitious material. Optimum dosage of Max Flo Integra 4 (Powder) and effect on concrete properties such as workability, strength, setting time, etc. are best assessed after preliminary tests on site using the actual materials of mixes under consideration.

EFFECT OF OVERDOSING

Overdosing may result in higher workability and watertight concrete. In case of accidental overdosing, check strengths and setting times before stripping forms. Overdosing normally will have no detrimental long term side effects as long as cured correctly with water before stripping forms. In general 28 days strength would be improved.

PACK SIZE

Available in 1 KG and 20 KG packs.

DISPENSING

Max Flo Integra 4 (Powder) is supplied as pre-weighed, ready to use powder. The pre-weighed quantity of Max Flo Integra 4 (Powder) should be added along with sand / cement / aggregates. Max Flo Integra 4 (Powder) will not entrain additional air when used in wet concrete but will plasticize the mix an cause a significant increase in workability.

SHELF LIFE

12 months from the date of manufacture when stored in cool and dry warehouse conditions in the original unopened packaging. Extreme temperatures and humidity may reduce shelf life.
