USES
Max Flo R is used to produce workable and retarding concrete, plasters, renders, and mortars including all types of RMC’s tunnels, runways, canals, reservoirs, and marine structures, etc. It can also be used as water proofer to reduce permeability of concrete.
ADVANTAGES of Max Flo R
- Good workability improvement to most of concrete mixes.
- Ultimate strength enhancement.
- Can be used for pumpable concrete.
- Extended setting time in high temperatures.
- Reduced shrinkage and creep

Typical results under laboratory conditions.
Results may vary as per site and usage conditions.
COMPATIBILIYT
Max Flo R can be used with all types of cements and cementitious materials like fly ash, GGBS, micro silica etc. This should not be premixed with other admixtures unless recommended by Ressichem Technician.
DOSAGE
Recommended dosage is 0.5 –1.5 % by weight of cementitious material. Higher dosage can be used after verification of performance by conducting lab and site trials. Optimum dosages of Max Flo R and effect on concrete properties such as workability, strength, setting time, etc. 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 can delay in setting time.
PACK SIZE
Available in 1 Liter, 5 Liters, 10 Liters, 15 Liters, 25 Liters and 200 Liters of packaging.
DISPENSING
Max Flo R should be directly dispensed 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
This product is considered as non-hazardous and safe for transportation. Suitable masks and gloves can be worn during application. Contact with skin should be avoided. Refer to product MSDS for further health and safety information.
