TriStar PCE CT50
A High-Range Water Reducing Clay Tolerant PolyCarboxylate Ether (PCE) Polymer
TriStar PCE CT50 is a comb-type Polycarboxylate Ether Polymer. It is least sensitive to clay-bearing aggregates. It is hard to be intercalated or adsorbed by the clay crystal structure. TriStar PCE CT50 can meet the requirement of high clay-bearing concrete for enhanced workability.
TriStar PCE CT50 is a base material for third-generation superplasticizer/concrete admixture. The product features:
- High Water-Reducing ability
- Especially applicable for high clay-bearing materials
- Good Retention workability
- Low air entrainment
- Higher Early Strengths
- Improve clay tolerance of other products as functional mother liquid
- High compatibility with cement and mineral admixtures
- The good surface appearance of concrete

- Raw material for PCE-based concrete admixtures
- High strength concrete
- Ready-mixed concrete
- Pre-cast concrete
- High fluidity concrete
- Self-compacting concrete
- Concrete for high-rise buildings and complex structures
TriStar PCE VR50
A High Range Water Reducer PolyCarboxylate Ether (PCE) Polymer with Viscosity-Reducing Properties
TriStar PCE VR50 is a comb-type Polycarboxylate Ether Polymer, with superior dispersing ability to cement, which can significantly enhance the workability of concrete mix.
TriStar PCE VR50 is a base material for third-generation superplasticizers/concrete admixtures. The product features:
- Very high water-reducing ability
- High initial workability
- High retention workability
- Low stickiness in concrete
- Superior dispersing ability and generate extremely fluid concrete
- High compatibility with cement and mineral admixtures
- High compatibility with materials- containing high content of fines
- The good surface appearance of concrete
