Ressichem Max Flo PB

Max Flo PB is liquid water reducing mortar plasticizer, based on selected refined lignosulphonates and other key additives. It improves the cohesiveness of wet and semi dry concrete use for blocks, paving tiles, etc.

STANDARD

ASTM C494 Type A, BSEN 934-2

USES

Max Flo PB Is designed for use with semi dry mortar mixes. Max Flo PB is used in the production of blocks and interlocking tiles. Other applications include paving slabs and bricks in the precast industry, etc.

ADVANTAGES 

• Increases cohesion in semi dry mixes.
• Water reduction significantly improve compressive strength at early ages.
• Reduces low permeable mortar, enhances durability.
• Effective in achieving cement reduction.
• Increases pigment distribution and enhances color.
• Chloride free, safe for use in reinforced mortars.
• Minimizes the risk of segregation and bleeding.
• Minimizes “edge breaking” phenomena.
• Facilitates faster and smoother operations of precast machinery.

COMPATIBILIYT

Max Flo PB can be used with all types of cements and cementitious materials like fly ash, GGBS, micro silica etc. Max Flo PB should not be premixed with other admixtures unless recommended by Ressichem Technician.

DOSAGE

The normal dosage range is 0.40 to 1.0 Ltr / 100 KG of cementitious material. The Optimum dosage of Max Flo PB to meet specific requirements should always be determined by trial using the actual material and conditions that will be experienced in use.

EFFECT OF OVERDOSING

Overdosing may result in higher workability and delay in time setting. If intentionally or accidently increases above the recommended dosages, care must be taken to allow for the effect on the stripping time of formwork. In such cases, however, provided the concrete is properly cured, the ultimate strength will generally be higher.

PACK SIZE

Available in 1 Liter, 5 Liters, 10 Liters, 15 Liters, 30 Liters and 200 Liters of packaging.

DISPENSING

Max Flo PB is 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.
