Oxides
The Cement Australia Oxides range gives you unlimited possibilities to improve the aesthetics of concrete, mortars and renders through coloured finishes.
Please note: The swatches displayed are a guide only, as actual colour can vary due to screen and device settings. For colour consistency, test a small area first and always ensure the same mix is for following batches when finishing a larger job.

- For best results, follow the instructions on the Oxide pack carefully.
- Always accurately measure all ingredients, including water; and for multiple mixes, always use the same quantities.
- For lighter, deeper colours use either White or Off White Cement or Render. Black, brown and red work best in Grey Cement.
- Sand can also affect colour, so source enough sand in one purchase to complete your project.
The maximum colour saturation you can achieve is 10% oxide addition of the cement content.
Avoid wastage and weakening of your mix by overdosing on oxide.
The above table is provided as a guide to illustrate the difference in colour saturation of both the ratio of oxide (Light, Medium or Deep) to cement, as well as colour lightening over the first 5 days as the cement cures. Ensure your ratio percentage is based on the cement content only, as oxide will not colour sand or stone.
