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 fine cement particles in the mix and improves the workability of concrete.
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 of Max Flo P
- 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 cements and cementitious materials such as fly ash,
GGBS, micro silica, etc. This product should not be premixed with other admixtures unless recommended by
a Ressichem technician.
DOSAGE
Recommended dosage is 0.5 – 1.5% by weight of cementitious material. Higher dosage can be used after
verification by conducting laboratory and site trials. Optimum dosage of Max Flo P and its
effect on concrete properties such as workability, strength, and setting time should be assessed after
preliminary tests on site using the actual materials and mixes under consideration.
EFFECT OF OVERDOSING
Overdosing may result in higher workability and delayed setting time. If dosage exceeds recommendations,
care must be taken to allow for the effect on stripping time of formwork. When properly cured, ultimate
strength will generally be higher than regular concrete.
PACK SIZE
Available in 1 Liter, 5 Liters, 10 Liters, 15 Liters, 25 Liters, and 200 Liters packaging.
DISPENSING
Max Flo P 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 non-hazardous and safe for transportation. Suitable masks and gloves should be
worn during application. Contact with skin should be avoided. Refer to product MSDS for further health
and safety information.
