Max Flo P 800
Max Flo P 800 is liquid, plasticizing, water reducing and retarding concrete admixture based on a high grade lignosulphonic acid derivative. Max Flo P 800 is formulated from carefully selected raw material and is manufactured under controlled conditions to give a consistent product.
Max Flo P is a liquid concrete plasticizer based on selected refined lignosulphonates and other key additives. When added to the concrete mix, it disperses the fine cement particles in the mix and improves workability.
STANDARD
ASTM C 494 Type A, BS EN 934-2
USES
Max Flo P can be used to produce pumpable and dense concrete. It is suitable for both ready-mix and site-batched concrete to produce cohesive and waterproof concrete.
ADVANTAGES
- Provides 10 – 15 % water reduction.
- Improved compressive strength due to reduced water-cement ratio.
- Enhances durability through production of low-permeability concrete.
- Effective in achieving cement reduction without compromising strength.
- Improves workability and surface finish.
- Chloride-free formulation — safe for prestressed and reinforced concrete.
- Minimizes segregation and bleeding.

COMPATIBILITY
Max Flo P can be used with all types of cement and cementitious materials such as fly ash, GGBS, and micro silica. It should not be mixed with other additives or admixtures unless recommended by a Ressichem technician.
DOSAGE
Recommended dosage is 0.5 % – 1.5 % by weight of cementitious material. Higher dosages may be used after verification through lab and site trials. Do not pre-mix with any other admixture unless advised by a Ressichem technician.
EFFECT OF OVERDOSING
Overdosing may result in higher workability and delayed setting time. In such cases, formwork stripping time should be extended. Ultimate strength will generally be higher than normal-set concrete. Effects are more pronounced when sulphate-resistant cement is used.
PACK SIZE
Available in 1 L, 5 L, 10 L, 15 L, 25 L and 200 L packaging.
DISPENSING
Max Flo P should be dispensed directly into the concrete mixer together with the mixing water.
SHELF LIFE
12 months from the date of manufacture when stored under cool, dry warehouse conditions in original unopened packaging. Extreme temperature or humidity may reduce shelf life.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
This product is considered non-hazardous and safe for transportation. Use gloves and masks during application. Avoid contact with skin. Refer to the product MSDS for detailed health and safety information.
