Product Highlights: Low slump concrete dosed with Superflo 443 becomes high slump concrete at the job site assuring good consolidation of concrete around reinforcing steel with little or no vibration.
Advantages: Cohesive and non-segregating

Consistent and controlled time of set throughout entire dosage range

Accelerated construction methods resulting in earlier completion dates

Reduced contractor placement costs

Higher and earlier ultimate strengths

Better flowing concrete with minimal bleed water

Improved durability with lower permeability

Higher modulus of elasticity

Increased resistance to freeze thaw cycleslower water to cement ratio for a given slump

Maximum slump retention for a superplasticizer

Reduced shrinkage and creep

Improved resistance to sulfate attack

Applications & Uses

Markets: Building & Construction
Applications: Building & Construction — Other Building & Construction Applications
Compatible Substrates & Surfaces: Concrete,
Metal,
Steel
Uses: Superflo 443 is recommended for use in concrete where higher flowability and increased early and ultimate strengths are required.

Superflo 443 allows the contractor or superintendent to place concrete with improved and increased strength while lowering placement labor costs.
Compatibility: Superflo 443 is compatible with all types of Portland cement, class C and F fly ash, silica fume, calcium chloride, fibers and approved air entraining, accelerating, retarding, and water reducing admixtures. Superflo 443 can be used in white, colored, and architectural concrete. For best results, each admixture must be dispensed separately into the concrete mix.
Dosage Rate: SUPERFLO 443 is recommended for use at a dosage rate of 10 to 26 ounces per 100 pounds (652 mL to 1695 mL per 100 kg) of cementitious material.
Because local job conditions vary, contact your local RussTech technical service representative for further assistance if using outside recommended dosage ranges.
