Max Flo SP 900 is a highly effective water reducing superplasticiser and an extremely powerful de-flocculating agent based on soluble salt of polymeric naphthalene sulphonate.
STANDARD
ASTM C 494 Type F, BS EN 934-2
USES
Max Flo SP 900 is used to produce a flowing concrete for congested areas, slabs, foundations, large pours, beams, columns, and precast elements. It provides excellent strength gain at early ages and major increase at all ages of concrete.
ADVANTAGES of Max Flo SP 900
- Good workability with fast strength gain.
- Economical and cost-effective solution for precast concrete.
- Increases durability by reducing permeability.
- Increased production in precast yards.
- Normal setting without any retardation.
- Chloride free and safe for use in pre-stressed and reinforced concrete.

COMPATIBILITY
Max Flo SP 900 can be used with all types of cements and cementitious materials like 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 – 3.0% by weight of cementitious material. Higher dosage can be used after verification by conducting lab and site trials. Optimum dosage of Max Flo SP 900 and its effect on concrete properties such as workability, strength, setting time, etc. are best assessed after preliminary tests on site using the actual materials and mixes under consideration.
EFFECT OF OVERDOSING
Overdosing may result in higher workability and delay in setting. If dosage used 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, 30 Liters, and 200 Liters of packaging.
DISPENSING
Max Flo SP 900 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.
