Max Flo P 800 (Powder) is a powerful concrete plasticizer and retarding admixture designed to improve the workability of concrete mixes while reducing water content.

STANDARDS

ASTM C494, Type B and D and BS EN 934-2

USES

Max Flo P 800 (Powder)is used for reduction of free water content in concrete mixes at the stage time improving the workability of the concrete. It is used to produce workable and dense concrete for use in construction of tunnels, runways, canals, dams, reservoirs, marine structures and in the manufacture of ready mix concrete.

ADVANTAGES

Provides extended slump retention even at high temperatures
Improves workability in all types of concrete mixes
Offers 10–15% water reduction
Increases strength of concrete
Reduces water without loss of workability
Produces pumpable concrete
Helps in achieving cement reduction
Enhances durability of concrete
Extends setting time at high temperatures
Reduces shrinkage and creep

COMPATIBILITY

Max Flo P 800 (Powder) can be used with all types of cements and cementitious materials like fly ash, GGBS, micro silica etc. Max Flo P 800 (Powder) should not be pre-mixed with other admixtures.

DOSAGE

Recommended dosage is 0.25 – 0.75 % by weight of cementitious material. Optimum dosage of Max Flo P 800 (Powder) and effect of concrete properties such workability, strength, setting time, etc. The concrete and mortar properties are best assessed after preliminary tests on site using the actual material of mixes under consideration.

EFFECT OF OVERDOSING

Overdosing may result in higher workability and delay in setting. If intentionally or accidentally, dosage used is above the recommended dosages, care must be taken to allow for the effect on the striping of formwork. In such cases, provided the concrete is properly cured the ultimate strength will generally be higher than the regular concrete. The effects of overdosing are increased when sulphate resistant cement is used in the concrete mixes because of the chemical nature of the cement as compared to that of OPC.

PACK SIZE

Available in 1 KG and 20 KG packs.

DISPENSING

Max Flo P 800 (Powder) should be directly mixed with sand, cement, and aggregates during batching.

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.
