Osmo Flood Barrier

Introducing the Osmo Flood Barrier – a disposable flood control solution designed for quick deployment and effective protection. Lightweight and easy to store, it inflates on contact with water, making it ideal for garage doors, driveways, and more. Manufactured sustainably with at least 50% reclaimed materials, it's an eco-friendly sandbag equivalent, offering swift and reliable flood protection.

How does the Osmo Flood Barrier work?

The Osmo Flood Barrier is an innovative, super-absorbent disposable solution designed to create a water-tight defence against flooding. Available in 1.5m and 3m lengths, this barrier is activated by water, absorbing up to 30 litres, crystallising, and forming a water-tight barrier. Utilising super-absorbent technology, it binds together to create a flood protection sock, quickly deploying upon contact with water.
Lightweight, soft, and easily stored, the continuous sock-like shape reduces weak points, offering efficient protection superior to traditional sandbags. Made from at least 50% reclaimed materials, it's an eco-friendly, non-toxic, and non-hazardous flood protection option. The Osmo Flood Barrier is a versatile solution suitable for temporary flash flooding or long-term flood prevention.

How to use the Osmo Flood Barrier?

To use the Osmo Flood Barrier effectively, follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Barrier: Ensure the barrier is stored in an accessible place near the area you want to protect, such as your garage door.
2. Place in Position: Roll out the barrier in front of the door or opening you wish to protect. If using it for a garage, place it in front of the garage door.
3. Activate with Water: The barrier activates upon contact with water. Simply wet the barrier with water, and it will start to absorb and expand.
4. Allow Absorption: Once activated, the barrier will start absorbing water rapidly. It can absorb up to 30 litres of water for the 3-meter size.
5. Form Protective Ring: For optimal protection, curve the barrier around the door or opening to create a protective ring. This helps to ensure that water is diverted away effectively.
6. Stack for Additional Height (Optional): If necessary, you can stack multiple barriers on top of each other to increase the height of the protective barrier.
7. Monitor and Adjust: Keep an eye on the barrier during flooding conditions. If needed, adjust its position or add more barriers for extra protection.
8. Dispose After Use: Once the flooding has subsided, dispose of the barrier appropriately. Since it is disposable, you can discard it without any hassle.

By following these steps, you can effectively deploy the Osmo Flood Barrier to protect your property from floodwaters.

See how easy it is to use the Osmo Flood Barrier:

Please note, the Osmo barrier will not inflate with salt water, so should be inflated with fresh water before being used against sea water.

Customers are warned that whilst they may find they are able to inflate and deflate the barrier between floods, the product is designed for single use, owing to the biohazard nature of flood water.
