SOCO Launches Polymer Granules to Seal Earth Dams and Irrigation Ponds

Facing mounting pressure from global water scarcity, Chino-based manufacturer SOCO has introduced DAMSEALER, a granular polymer designed to plug leaks in earth dams, reservoirs, and soil-lined basins. The product aims to curb seepage without the high costs of draining reserves or deploying heavy earth-moving equipment.

The material functions through rapid hydration, swelling upon contact with water to fill soil pores and seepage channels. This creates a flexible, pressure-resistant layer capable of stabilizing leaks in diverse environments, including rocky or sandy compositions. Unlike traditional maintenance methods that require extensive excavation, DAMSEALER can be applied directly to the water surface using manual spreaders, boats, or drones, allowing the granules to settle naturally into leakage points.

Operators can also apply the product to dry surfaces by distributing it over compacted soil and covering it with a thin layer of topsoil before refilling. The standard application rate is 1kg per 10m², though this varies based on salinity and the severity of the infrastructure damage. With a shelf life of 24 months, the polymer provides a scalable alternative for both agricultural and municipal water management projects seeking to minimize water loss while reducing labor expenditures.
