Remedia-H
Water repellency
In the Field
Remedia-H behavior versus ordinary sand, then a live pour and the three-pile photo.
Side by side
Same water. Two different surfaces.
Remedia-H
Water stays on the surface instead of soaking in.
Normal sand
Water wets and sinks into the pile.
Live pour
Same pour across ordinary sand and coated mineral piles.

Remedia-O
Oil capture
Holds oil on solid ground so it can be swept, shoveled, or vacuumed. Spill kits, floors, drains, land spills.
Open Remedia-O
Remedia-H
Water repellency
Water beads and runs off. Sandbags, foundation backfill, termite barriers, agricultural berms.
Open Remedia-H
Remedia-F
Filtration
Separates oil from water in continuous process streams. Built for plant duty, not one-time cleanup.
Open Remedia-F
Remedia-X
Floating pellet
Stays on the surface with a waterborne slick. Not a land sorbent. Not a filter bed.

OTB Remedia is the coated-mineral division of OTB Materials (Outside The Box Materials) in New Freedom, PA. It makes four specialty grades: Remedia-O for oil capture on solid ground, Remedia-H for water repellency, Remedia-F for oil-water separation in industrial filtration, and Remedia-X, a floating pellet for waterborne oil spills.
Remedia-O. Pour or broadcast it onto spilled oil on pavement, soil, or plant floors. It holds the oil so it can be swept, shoveled, or vacuumed, and the mineral grains do not blow around the way light loose sorbents do in drafty bays and outdoor work areas.
Remedia-X, a floating pellet that stays on the surface with the slick. It is for waterborne oil spills only. It is not a land sorbent and not a filter bed.
Yes. Remedia-F is mineral filter media that separates oil from water in continuous industrial process streams. It is built for plant duty, not for one-time spill cleanup.
Remedia-H is a water-repellent coated mineral. Water beads and runs off its surface, while ordinary sand gets wet and soaks the water into the pile. It is used for sandbags and flood control, foundation backfill, termite barriers, and agricultural berms.
Yes. Remedia-H is a drop-in replacement for conventional sandbag fill. The contents stay dry inside the bag, including with coastal salt-water exposure, so the barrier can be moved and reused the next day instead of waiting to dry out.
Remedia-O, Remedia-H, and Remedia-F are 95% recycled. Remedia-X is 100% recycled.
Each of the four Remedia grades is patent pending.
