PondPro, Solution for your pond
Pond Pro is a liquid version of EPDM very similar to EPDM pond liners sold in pond supply stores. It works extremely well on all non-porous concrete fountains as well as EPDM fishponds liners. Reflecting pools are another good application for EPDM. These are demanding applications where the unique properties of EPDM have a distinct advantage over other products. The success of PondPro 2000 is through combining ethylene and propylene with a diene monomer. PondPro 2000 is safe for fish and plant life as well as chlorinated water. This polymer (when crosslinked) is an excellent moisture barrier, resistant to oxidation and UV degradation but its most important property is its ability to tolerate both low as well as high temperatures (from minus 62 to plus 350 degrees Fahrenheit). General EPDM rubber is used exclusively for radiator hoses, freezer gaskets and low temperature seals, steam hoses, and rubber roofing membranes. It is also blended with other rubbers to improve their properties. A multitude of products are now better and last longer because of the contribution made by EPDM rubber.
Pond Liner Repair
There are various types of pond liners available in the market each having its own characteristics. Pond liners are actually very low on the pocket if they are maintained with proper care. Pond liner repair is an easy job when you have mastered how to repair a pond liner. The most famous types of pond liners are the flexible pond liners and the rigid pond liners. The flexible pond liners are made up of strong and flexible materials like plastic that can last for almost 20 to 25 years. These pond liners come with special UV protection, that increases their durability. Still, there comes time when one or the other smallest task of pond liner repairs comes in the way. There are a few things to keep in mind for pond liner repair.
For small pond liner repairs that take less time and efforts, you can always use the pond liner repair tapes. The pond liner tapes are specially designed to repair the smallest of tears and holes that are visible over the pond liner. You can always use single sided pond liner tapes (6 inch tape), for the same. Before starting the smallest task of pond liner repair, make sure that you have removed all the water and the rough materials from the pond. Clean up the pond liner by using naphtha or such cleaners. Apply the tape on the affected area by giving even pressure on all sides of the tape.
Where can PondPro 2000 be used to its best advantage?
The unique combination of properties which PondPro 2000 possesses can be best utilized when they are applied to the exterior surfaces of stationary structures. Examples are:
Ponds and Fountains: Concrete fishponds, fountains and reflecting pools are another good application for EPDM. These are demanding applications where the unique properties of EPDM have a distinct advantage over other products.
Air Conditioning drip pans: Excellent moisture barrier and rust inhibitor.
Concrete Tanks: The excellent water proofing properties of EPDM will reduce or prevent spalling of the concrete in cold climates.
Corrosive/Humid Environments: Exposed structural steel on the interior of industrial buildings with humid or corrosive environments can be coated with minimal surface preparation. Plating operations, smelters, concrete casting operations, dye works, and paper mills are just a few examples. High-density poultry and hog production operations are another good use to protect steel from the corrosive environment produced by manure.
Impoundments: Liquid EPDM coatings are a good choice for exterior spill containment structures because of their excellent weathering and broad chemical resistance properties
