Max Flo P 800 (Powder) is a powerful concrete plasticizer and retarding admixture use to improve the workability of concrete mixes.
STANDARD
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
Extension of slump retention even at high temperature.
Workability improvement in all types of concrete mixes.
10-15% water reducing effect can be obtained.
Increased strength.
Reduced water without loss in workability.
Best for pumpable concrete.
Effective in achieving cement reduction.
Durable concrete can be achieved.
Extended setting time at high temperature.
Reduce shrinkage and creep

COMPATIBILIYT
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 2KG and 20KG Packs.
DISPENSING
Max Flo P 800 (Powder) should be directly mixed with the sand, cement, and aggregate.
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.
