IQsolv C-Max®, a cutting-edge polymeric additive, adheres to the stringent standards set by IS:2645-2003 [BIS CM/L 5200127078]. This innovative solution comprises microfine mineral particles and nano ceramics suspended in Phenolic Latex Acrylates, providing enhanced strength to concrete blocks.
ABOUT C-MAX
IQsolv C-Max® is a solution of microfine mineral particles as well as some Nano ceramics in Phenolic Acrylates. This is a proprietary product of SRL, developed in cooperation with Dr. Volker In der Wiesche, Germany. These Nano ceramics and micro fine materials give additional strength to the concrete Block.
AREA OF APPLICATION
IQsolv C-Max®, a new polymeric additive for cement, maximizes cement surface area and uses every cement particle. Cement is a binder and an excellent waterproofed. After manufacturing and storage, the finer grains mix and give the cement a dense structure due to this binding ability. Once the polymer, IQsolv C-Max®, is added, each grain is loosened and the same cement occupies more area.
By adding IQsolv C-Max®, water demand in the cement is reduced and the cement colloids travel to fill up all the voids and produce a compact and dense concrete mass.
IQsolv C-Max® helps in faster construction, as the deshuttering can be quickly done.
Increases Cement work ability, which results in 5% to 6% of additional coverage area.
Additional coverage area tantamount to reduction in cement usage, i.e., direct cost saving.
If you add IQsolv C-Max®, then the cement surface area increases & penetrates into all these pores and reduces the porosity.
How to Use
Required quantity of cement and sand for mortar; cement, sand and aggregates for concrete must be dry mixed for 1 minute.
Mix the entire quantity for approx. 3 minutes to achieve homogenous mix.
Add 50-70% of required water and mix thoroughly for 2-3 minutes.
Add required quantity of Cmax to the remaining water and pour it in the mixing drum and mix the entire quantity for approx. 3 minutes to achieve homogeneous mix.
Lay the concrete or use the mortar or plaster as per requirement.
A polymeric cement additive made with microfine mineral particles and nano ceramics in phenolic acrylates. Added at 1% of cement weight, it helps reduce water demand, improve workability and produce a denser cement-based mix.
What you get
Helps cement particles spread through the mix and fill small voids.
Reduces water demand and supports a compact, dense concrete mass.
Improves workability and can support faster de-shuttering.
Adds waterproofing, strength and anti-efflorescence benefits.
Best used in
Concrete for slabs, foundations, lift pits and structural work.
Cement mortar for masonry, repairs and waterproof construction.
Plaster mixes where lower porosity and smoother workability help.
New construction where dosing can be controlled during mixing.
How much C-Max do you need?
Official dosage used here: C-Max = 1% of cement weight. One 50 kg cement bag therefore needs 0.5 kg of C-Max.

How to mix C-Max
Follow this job-site sequence and the technical data sheet supplied for your batch.
Dry mix first
Dry mix cement and sand for mortar, or cement, sand and aggregates for concrete, for about 1 minute.
Add most of the water
Add 50-70% of the required clean water and mix thoroughly for 2-3 minutes.
Prepare the C-Max water
Measure C-Max at 1% of cement weight and blend it into the remaining mixing water.
Complete the mix
Add the C-Max water to the mixer and mix the full batch for about 3 minutes until homogeneous.
Place and cure
Lay the concrete or use the mortar or plaster as required. Cure with clean water using normal best practices.

Dosage, performance claims and job-site guidance for contractors and engineers.
Ten 50 kg cement bags weigh 500 kg. At a 1% dosage, use 5 kg of C-Max.
When should C-Max be added?
Dry mix the cement system first, add 50-70% of the water, then blend C-Max into the remaining water and add that solution to the mixer.
Can I use C-Max in mortar and plaster?
Yes. The technical guidance covers concrete, cement mortar and plaster. Keep the 1% dosage based on cement weight.
Does C-Max replace normal curing?
No. Place the concrete, mortar or plaster normally and cure with clean water according to established job-site practice.
Can opened chemical packs be returned?
Opened chemical packs are generally not returnable. Check the store refund policy before purchase and contact support if a sealed pack arrives damaged.
