TriStar PCE CT50

A High-Range Water Reducing Clay Tolerant PolyCarboxylate Ether (PCE) Polymer

Clay Tolerant PCE Bottle

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

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
