Optomix Range

The Optomix range is Oscrete’s most established and widely recognised family of admixtures, trusted across the UK and Ireland for its consistent performance and broad application. Originally developed to support the demands of the ready-mixed concrete sector, Optomix has grown to become our largest and most versatile range — delivering tailored solutions across precast, block paving, cast stone, mortar systems, and bespoke mix designs.

Optomix admixtures have been specifically designed for the ready-mixed concrete industry, offering a comprehensive suite of solutions to support mix optimisation, durability, and site efficiency. The range includes:

• Water reducers and superplasticisers for improved workability and reduced water-cement ratios
• Air-entraining agents, accelerators, and retarders to control setting and enhance freeze-thaw resistance
• Foaming agents, and truck cleaning aids to support performance, sustainability, and operational hygiene

Whether you’re looking to improve flow characteristics, enhance early strength, or meet environmental targets, Optomix products are engineered to meet the practical challenges of modern concrete production.

Designed for Ready-Mix, Built for More

Optomix was first introduced to meet the needs of ready-mix producers seeking reliable, high-performance admixtures that could adapt to varying site conditions and mix designs. Its success in this space quickly led to wider adoption across other concrete and mortar applications, with formulations tailored to suit the unique requirements of precast manufacturing, decorative concrete, and high-volume paving systems.

Today, Optomix remains the go-to choice for producers who value consistency, flexibility, and support. Each product in the range is backed by Oscrete’s technical team, ensuring that customers receive not just a product, but a solution — one that’s aligned with their operational goals and mix specifications.
