KEY FEATURES

ENVIRONMENTALLY
SAFE

OFB Soil products are non-toxic, non-hazardous and environmentally safe liquid soil additives that will yield a dramatic increase in the strength of virtually any type of soil base. They are also non-corrosive and will not harm construction equipment.

LOCKS SOIL
TOGETHER

OFB Soil products locks soil particles together to form an extremely strong yet flexible water-impermeable barrier when combined with most soil types. As long as there are a minimum of 17% fines OFB products will bind most soils creating a surface that is extremely hard. Although they are so powerful OFB Soil products are very cost effective and easy to use.

VERSATILE

OFB Soil products are an excellent choice for many applications including road building, dust control and suppression, prevention of soil erosion, and turning waste products into building materials. They are Ideal for most roads, car parks, rail footings and airport runways; and highly effective for lining dams and waterways.

INCREASES SOIL
DENSITY

With good compaction and with sufficient applications of OFB Soil products the density of soil is significantly increased and the soil is sealed and hardened to appropriate specifications. The increased density, along with the overall strength of OFB Soil products will result in a much stronger and longer lasting base. The cost of building a deeper base will be eliminated, and the overall cost of future repairs will be significantly reduced.

REDUCES
PERMEABILITY

Laboratory tests have confirmed that most soils treated with OFB Soil products will result in a significant reduction of permeability. Deterioration of a soil base generally begins with an invasion of moisture with ultimate failure resulting from an inability to sustain routine traffic conditions. OFB Soil products are inherently resistant to moisture, and when combined with well compacted soil the possibility of moisture penetration is significantly reduced. Potholes, ruts, “wash boarding,” and cracks will be eliminated and the overall savings in maintenance repairs will be significant.

EFFECTIVELY
RECYCLED

OFB Soil products can be easily and effectively recycled using Cold In-Place Recycling.

BENEFITS

REDUCED
APPLICATION COSTS

The cost of applying OFB Soil products is significantly less than the cost of applying traditional non-liquid stabilizers such as lime and cement which is currently used for road bases. OFB Soil products uses existing soil in-situ and therefore soil cartage costs are eliminated. Application of OFB Soil products also requires far less equipment.

REDUCED
MAINTENANCE COSTS

Because OFB Soil products create a stronger, more durable and longer lasting base, the cost of a wearing surface can be greatly reduced and significant cost savings can be achieved.

REDUCED
ENVIRONMENTAL COSTS

Traditional non-liquid stabilizers are considered to be toxic and may result in high remedial costs [as well as long-lasting damage to the environment].
