Max Flo SP 901 is a highly effective water reducing superplasticiser and an extremely powerful de-flocculating agent based on soluble salt of polymeric sulphonate naphthalene.
STANDARD
ASTM C 494 Type F, BS EN 934-2
USES
It is used to produce concrete for precast and ready-mix concrete having high range of water reducing and high early strength requirements.
ADVANTAGES of Max Flo SP 901
- Low-cost solution for precast industry.
- Faster de-shuttering of forms.
- High early strength with better slump retention.
- Significant strength increases at early age.
- Increases durability by reducing permeability.
- Improved waterborne salt resistance.
- Chloride free and safe for use in pre-stressed and reinforced concrete.

COMPATIBILITY
Max Flo SP 901 can be used with all types of cements and cementitious materials like fly ash, GGBS, micro silica, etc. It should not be premixed with other admixtures unless recommended by a Ressichem Technician.
DOSAGE
Recommended dosage is 0.8 – 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 901 and its effect on concrete properties such as workability, strength, and setting time are best assessed after preliminary on-site testing using actual materials under consideration.
EFFECT OF OVERDOSING
Overdosing may result in higher workability and delay in setting. If the dosage used exceeds recommendations, care must be taken regarding the stripping time of formwork. When properly cured, the ultimate strength will generally be higher than that of regular concrete.
PACK SIZE
Available in 1 Liter, 5 Liters, 10 Liters, 15 Liters, 25 Liters, and 200 Liters of packaging.
DISPENSING
Max Flo SP 901 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 the product MSDS for further health and safety information.
