COMPATIBILITY
Max Flo SP 802 can be used with all types of cements and cementitious materials like fly ash, GGBS, micro silica etc. Max Flo SP 802 should not be premixed with other admixtures unless recommended by a Ressichem Technician.
DOSAGE
Recommended dosage is 0.5% – 3.0% by weight of cementitious material. Higher dosage can be used after verification by conducting lab and site trials.
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 stripping time 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 Liter, 5 Liters, 10 Liters, 15 Liters, 25 Liters and 200 Liters of packaging.
DISPENSING
Max Flo SP 802 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
