Akwaseal® is made with two water barriers: Bentonite Clay and a Flexible Plastic Membrane. The bentonite clay is sandwiched between two textiles which are needle punched together. The membrane is permanently laminated to the outer Akwaseal® Pond Liner Roll surface. The result is an easy-to-install, self-healing, self-seaming liner requiring little maintenance. The swelling properties of the bentonite clay and cushioning of the textiles eliminate the need for seam welding and underlayments. Our ISO certified manufacturing process creates a consistent low permeability product that won't shrink, crack, float, or balloon in any water containment application. |

Notes
- Bentonite mass reported on dry weight basis. Finished product contains some moisture, so actual unit weight is higher.
- Maximum expected leakage rate of a complete seamed liner system, as based on lab testing. Actual performance may be higher or lower than this amount depending on site conditions and installation quality. Refer to CETCO's Pond Design Manual for further details.
- Typical values are based on periodic data.
