ADVA® Flow-M is a high range water-reducing admixture. It is a liquid which has been formulated by the manufacturer for use as received. ADVA Flow-M contains no added chloride. ADVA Flow-M is formulated to comply with Standard Specification for Chemical Admixtures for Concrete.
One litre weighs approximately 1.06kg ± 0.02kg.
ADVA Flow-M is a superior dispersing admixture having a marked capacity to disperse the cement agglomerates normally found in a cement-water suspension. The capability exceeds that of normal superplasticiser, resulting in lower dosages and better control.
ADVA Flow-M produces concrete with extreme workability characteristics for high slump, flowing concrete. It also allows concrete to be produced with very low water-cement ratios at low or normal slumps.
ADVA Flow-M is ideal for use in any concrete where it is desired to keep the water-cement ratio to a minimum and still achieve the degree of workability necessary to provide easy placement and consolidation. ADVA Flow-M improves concrete performance, and is ideal for precast concrete and high early strength concrete. ADVA
Most Type A water reducers or Type D water-reducing retarders are compatible with ADVA Flow-M as long as they are separately added to the concrete. Caution should be exercised when using ADVA Flow-M together with a retarder, as excessive retardation can occur if the admixture dosages are too high. Pre-testing of the concrete should be performed to optimise dosages and addition times of these admixtures. The admixtures should not contact each other before they enter the concrete
Flow-M will also improve performance making it ideal for precast concrete and high early strength concrete.
Addition rates of ADVA Flow-M can vary with type of application, but will normally range from 195 to 650mL / 100kg of cementitious materials. For best results, ADVA Flow-M should be added to the initial mix water. At a given water-cement ratio, the slump required for placement can be controlled by varying the addition rate. Should job site conditions require using more than recommended addition rates, please consult your local GCP representative.
ADVA Flow-M is available in bulk or in 205L drums. ADVA Flow-M contains no flammable ingredients.
In storage, and for proper dispensing, ADVA Flow-M should be maintained at temperatures above 0˚C.
