Max Flo P 801
Max Flo P 801 is a specially engineered concrete admixture designed to improve concrete flow, workability, and overall structural performance in demanding construction environments. The product helps enhance placement efficiency and finishing quality while reducing water content for improved strength development and durability. Its advanced formulation contributes to dependable concrete consistency and long-lasting structural reliability. Max Flo P 801 is suitable for commercial buildings, reinforced concrete structures, infrastructure works, and precast projects requiring reliable concrete enhancement performance.
Max Flo P 801 is a liquid, plasticizing, water-reducing, and retarding concrete admixture based on a high-grade lignosulphonate derivative. It is formulated from carefully selected raw materials and manufactured under controlled conditions to ensure a consistent product.
STANDARD
ASTM C 494 Type B and D, BS EN 934-2
USES
Max Flo P 801 is used to produce easily workable and dense concrete for all types of ready-mixed concrete, tunnels, runways, canals, reservoirs, and marine structures. It can also be used as a waterproofing agent to reduce concrete permeability.
ADVANTAGES

COMPATIBILITY
Max Flo P 801 can be used with all types of cements and cementitious materials like fly ash, GGBS, micro silica, etc. It should not be premixed with other admixtures unless recommended by a Ressichem technician.
DOSAGE
Recommended dosage is 0.5% – 1.5% by weight of cementitious material. Higher dosages can be used after lab and site trials. Consult Ressichem technician for optimum dosage and effect on properties such as strength and setting time.
EFFECT OF OVERDOSING
Overdosing may result in higher workability and delayed setting. In such cases, extend the stripping time of formwork. Proper curing ensures ultimate strength generally higher than regular concrete. Effects of overdosing are more prominent when sulphate-resistant cement is used.
PACK SIZE
Available in 1 Liter, 5 Liters, 10 Liters, 15 Liters, 25 Liters, and 200 Liters of packaging.
DISPENSING
Max Flo P 801 should be dispensed directly into the concrete mixer together with mixing water.
SHELF LIFE
12 months from the date of manufacture when stored under cool and dry warehouse conditions in original unopened packaging. Extreme temperature and humidity may reduce shelf life.
HEALTH & SAFETY
This product is considered non-hazardous and safe for transport. Suitable masks and gloves should be worn during application. Avoid contact with skin. Refer to the product MSDS for detailed health and safety information.
