TPEG 2400 — Isoprenyl Alcohol Polyoxyethylene Ether for PCE Superplasticizer Synthesis

Specifications

General Information

Technical Properties

Applications

PCE superplasticizers synthesized from TPEG 2400 serve the full range of ready-mix and precast concrete production. The monomer's ≥98% double bond retention and controlled molecular weight distribution allow formulators to achieve repeatable water reduction across batches — a requirement in high-volume concrete plants where admixture dosing runs on automated systems and any deviation in admixture quality propagates directly to pour consistency.

TPEG-based PCE admixtures perform well in high-strength structural concrete applications, including bridge decks, piling, and high-rise building columns where mix designs specify tight water-to-cement ratios without sacrificing workability. The isoprenyl backbone's polymerization characteristics give formulators flexibility in tuning carboxylate group density along the comb polymer chain, which in turn controls the balance between initial water reduction and workability retention in the finished product.

Beyond structural concrete, TPEG 2400 supports dry-mix mortar and gypsum-based building product formulations where a water-reducing dispersant is required. Admixture producers supplying multiple building materials sectors can carry TPEG 2400 as a single monomer input that covers concrete, mortar, and gypsum applications — a practical raw material inventory consolidation for compounders serving diversified customer bases.

Why Source Through BASTONE

BASTONE Petrochem holds listed distributor status with major manufacturers like PetroChina and Lianyungang Petrochemical. For polyether monomers including TPEG 2400, authorized distributor access means BASTONE draws from allocated production rather than the spot market. Buyers sourcing through spot channels face allocation gaps when upstream production schedules shift; BASTONE's direct producer relationship provides a structural buffer against those supply interruptions.

Every TPEG 2400 lot BASTONE ships carries full COA documentation with measured results for hydroxyl value, double bond retention, degree of unsaturation, chroma, and pH — each result cross-referenced against the published specification. Procurement teams can match incoming goods to the COA without independently testing every shipment, and the quality record stays traceable to the originating production batch for the life of the project.

The parent BASTONE Group operates an R&D center alongside 4 production sites. When a PCE formulator is evaluating TPEG 2400 against HPEG 2400 or EPEG 3000 for a specific admixture application, BASTONE's technical team can support that grade selection with application-level guidance — not just process the order and ship.
