# SOCO Introduces DAMSEALER Polymer for Leak Sealing in Farm Ponds, Earth Dams and Soil-Lined Water Structures - Link: https://www.thailand-business-news.com/pr-news/soco-introduces-damsealer-polymer-for-leak-sealing-in-farm-ponds-earth-dams-and-soil-lined-water-structures - Published: 2026-10-15T17:24:00+07:00 - Author: PR Newswire CHINO, Calif., Oct. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As climate variability and global water scarcity place increasing pressure on water storage infrastructure, SOCO introduces DAMSEALER, a high-performance granular polymer developed to seal leakage in earth dams, ponds, reservoirs, and soil-lined water containment structures. By helping reduce seepage and water loss, DAMSEALER provides a practical, scalable solution for infrastructure maintenance while supporting sustainable water conservation efforts. [[ **Addressing Water Loss Through Technical Innovation** Water leakage from agricultural and municipal infrastructure represents a significant operational inefficiency, particularly in regions subject to drought conditions and irrigation restrictions. Conventional sealing methodologies often necessitate draining water reserves, deploying heavy earth-moving equipment, or installing costly liner systems. DAMSEALER provides a scientifically grounded alternative that mitigates these operational barriers. Upon contact with water, DAMSEALER absorbs moisture and swells to help fill seepage channels, soil pores and localized leakage points. The material is designed to form a flexible water-retaining layer that supports seepage control in earth dams, farm ponds, reservoirs and soil-lined basins." **Technical Specifications and Operational Advantages** DAMSEALER is distinguished by several key technical attributes: ◦ **Rapid absorption and swelling:** Facilitates efficient filling of seepage pathways and leakage points, enabling prompt response to water loss incidents ◦ **High pressure resistance:** Maintains sealing layer stability under hydraulic pressure, ensuring consistent performance across diverse water depths ◦ **Optimized particle distribution:** The 20-100 mesh granule size promotes settling and penetration into soil fractures and pores, enhancing sealing effectiveness in coarse, rocky, or sandy soil compositions ◦ **Adaptive flexibility:** The swollen layer conforms to irregular seepage channels, minimizing water loss across earth dams, irrigation ponds, reservoirs, and soil- lined basins "These performance characteristics reflect SOCO’s commitment to developing science- based solutions that deliver measurable environmental and operational value," stated a company representative. "DAMSEALER enables water infrastructure operators to optimize maintenance expenditures while contributing to water conservation objectives. Unlike traditional methods requiring pond drainage or extensive excavation, this solution can be applied directly to the water surface, reducing time, labor, and water resource consumption." **Application Versatility Across Water Infrastructure** DAMSEALER supports multiple application scenarios in agricultural and municipal water management: ◦ Leak sealing for earth dams and farm ponds ◦ Seepage control for reservoirs and irrigation ponds ◦ Treatment of dam cracks and localized leakage points ◦ Sealing of soil-lined basins, channels, and water-retaining structures ◦ Preventive maintenance for new dam construction projects The product offers flexible application protocols suitable for both independent operators and professional contractors. For water-filled structures, granules are distributed evenly over suspected leakage areas using manual spreaders, boats, or drones, allowing natural settling. For dry applications, the product is uniformly distributed over compacted soil surfaces, covered with 2-3 cm of topsoil, and subsequently refilled with water. The recommended application rate is **1kg of DAMSEALER per 10m² of treatment area**, adjustable based on leakage severity, water depth, salinity, and soil conditions. **Supporting Sustainable Water Management Practices** SOCO is a technology-driven manufacturer of water-absorbing polymer solutions for agricultural, industrial and infrastructure applications.", we expand its portfolio of eco-friendly solutions aligned with international environmental standards. DAMSEALER exemplifies the company’s strategic focus on leveraging advanced manufacturing technologies to address environmental challenges while delivering practical value to customers across packaging, agriculture, and consumer goods sectors. The product is packaged in 20kg kraft paper bags or 800kg jumbo bags with PE moisture- proof liners, with customized packaging available upon request. DAMSEALER maintains a **shelf life of 24 months** when stored in cool, dry, and well-ventilated conditions, providing extended usability compared to competing products.
