Max Flo SP 803
Max Flo SP 803 is a high range superplasticiser based on selected sulphonated naphthalene polymers specially formulated to impart flowing characteristics in concrete containing GGBS, fly ash, micro silica etc.
STANDARD
ASTM C 494 Type B, D and G, BS EN 934-2
USES
Max Flo SP 803 is specially recommended for concrete containing GGBS, fly ash, micro silica etc. to enhance durability. It is used in concrete for piling, pumpable concrete for high rise towers, hot weather concreting, concrete in congested reinforcement, and concrete with extended slump retention properties without delay in setting.
ADVANTAGES
- High water reduction capability >30%
- Excellent slump retention properties even at low water-cement ratio.
- Increases durability by reducing permeability.
- No excessive air entrainment.
- Chloride-free and safe for use in pre-stressed and reinforced concrete.

COMPATIBILITY
Max Flo SP 803 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 1 – 3% by weight of cementitious material. Higher dosage can be used after verification by conducting lab and site trials. Optimum dosage of Max Flo SP 803 and its effect on concrete properties such as workability, strength, and setting time are best assessed through preliminary tests on site using actual materials 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 levels, care must be taken to allow for the effect on the stripping time of formwork. Provided the concrete is properly cured, the ultimate strength will generally be higher than regular concrete. The effects of overdosing are increased when sulphate-resistant cement is used because of its chemical nature compared to OPC.
PACK SIZE
Available in 1 Liter, 5 Liters, 10 Liters, 15 Liters, 25 Liters and 200 Liters of packaging.
DISPENSING
Max Flo SP 803 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 AND SAFETY
