Targeted additives that improve consistency, dispersion, and handling in demanding environments
In high-volume concrete production, consistency and control are vital. In central batch plant operations, process aid admixtures help maintain optimal production conditions — especially when working with sticky, fast-setting, or low-slump mixes.
Oscrete’s range of process aids are designed to enhance handling, mixing, and flow characteristics by reducing friction, build-up, and material loss during batching, transport, and placement. These admixtures are particularly useful when working with harsh aggregates, low water/cement ratios, or accelerated curing profiles.
Widely used in precast operations, process aids support smooth batching and discharge — helping minimise delays, equipment wear, and clean-down time while keeping mixes consistent and compliant with performance specifications.
Why Use Process Aids?
Process aids offer both practical and technical benefits that support production reliability and final mix quality:
- Minimises residue and adhesion to mixer blades, hoppers, and conveyors, reducing waste and cleaning effort
- Improves dispersion of cementitious and chemical components for more uniform hydration and reactivity
- Enhances batching accuracy, helping reduce corrective dosing, retempering, and mix variations — especially in high-output environments
Oscrete Solutions & Support
Oscrete offers a selection of liquid process aids tailored to concrete environments requiring precise control and repeatability. Whether you’re producing coloured concrete, fibre-reinforced mixes, or standard formulations, these additives help reduce downtime and enhance mix performance — without affecting set times or long-term durability.
Alongside our product offering, Oscrete’s technical lab team is available to assist with on-site trials, mix evaluations, and process optimisations — ensuring the right combination of admixtures and production parameters to suit your specific goals.
These admixtures support cleaner, more consistent production — helping manufacturers meet performance targets while reducing downtime and waste.
