Bentonite clay has long been used to seal dams, but it comes with limitations.
The Bentonite Challenge
Bentonite requires:
- Draining the dam
- Spreading evenly
- Mixing thoroughly with soil
- Proper compaction
- Heavy machinery
If not installed correctly, it can crack during dry cycles or fail in coarse soils.
For many rural landholders, draining a dam simply isn’t practical.
Why Polymer Sealers Outperform Clay
Water$ave polymers:
- Work in full dams
- Target active leak paths
- Expand directly inside voids
- Remain flexible
- Require no excavation
They are particularly effective where bentonite has previously failed. For hobby & working farmers alike, polymer-based sealing is faster, less disruptive & more cost-effective.
