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 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 cements and mineral admixtures
  • Good surface appearance of concrete
