Pond construction begins not with decoration, but with proper waterproofing. It is on it that it depends whether the reservoir will hold water for years without repairs, leaks, and concrete destruction.
If you are looking for a way to waterproof a pond so that the coating is durable, environmentally friendly, and easy to apply, pay attention to TEKNOMER 300 , a new generation elastic acrylic waterproofing.
The material is suitable for:
Why is pond waterproofing so important?
Concrete itself is not completely waterproof. It has a porous structure through which water gradually penetrates the structure.
Without high-quality waterproofing, owners of reservoirs often face the following problems:
That is why waterproofing is one of the most important stages of building an artificial reservoir.
Why choose TEKNOMER 300?
TEKNOMER 300 is an elastic acrylic waterproofing that forms a durable, seamless coating after drying.
Unlike PVC films or roll membranes, it has no joints, which are often the cause of leaks.
After application, a single monolithic membrane is formed that adheres tightly to the concrete surface.
Main advantages of the material
The coating compensates for small deformations of the base and covers small cracks.
The absence of joints significantly reduces the risk of leaks.
The material withstands positive water pressure up to 5 Bar.
Waterproofing prevents water from penetrating the structure and reduces the risk of its destruction.
The material can be applied with a brush or roller.
How to properly apply TEKNOMER 300 waterproofing?
A quality result depends not only on the material, but also on the correct technology.
Step 1. Surface preparation
The basis should be:
If there are defects or sinks, it is recommended to first repair them using Teknorep mixtures. And joints and cracks should be additionally sealed with Teknomer tape at the stage of applying the first main layer of acrylic waterproofing TEKNOMER 300 .
Step 2. Primer layer
The first layer acts as a primer.
To do this, TEKNOMER 300 is diluted with water in a ratio of 1:1 and applied evenly to the concrete.
After drying, you can proceed to the main coating.
Step 3. Base layer
The base coat is applied evenly over the entire surface.
For work you can use:
Step 4. Second layer
It is recommended to apply the second layer after approximately 5 hours , perpendicular to the previous one.
This scheme ensures a uniform coating thickness.
The average material consumption is about 1-1.5 kg/m² .
Why is acrylic waterproofing better than film?
Many pond owners use PVC membranes or special films.
However, acrylic waterproofing has a number of advantages:
Can TEKNOMER 300 be used for fish ponds?
Yes.
One of the main advantages of the material is its environmental safety.
After complete hardening, the coating can come into contact with drinking water, so it is used for:
That is why the material is suitable for ponds with ornamental fish and aquatic plants, provided that the application technology is followed and the coating is completely cured before filling with water.
Frequently asked questions
What waterproofing is best for a concrete pond?
For concrete bowls, the optimal solution is elastic seamless acrylic waterproofing, which works together with the concrete and bridges small cracks.
How to make TEKNOMER 300 waterproofing yourself?
The material is ready to use and does not require special equipment and is applied with a roller or brush. So you can definitely make Teknomer 300 acrylic waterproofing yourself.
How long should I apply the second layer of waterproofing?
Approximately 5 hours or after the first coat has dried, depending on the ambient temperature and humidity.
What is the consumption of Teknomer 300 acrylic waterproofing?
The approximate consumption of Teknomer 300 acrylic waterproofing is 1-1.5 kg/m² , depending on the type of substrate and the required coating thickness.
If you need reliable waterproofing of a concrete pond that forms a seamless coating, has 300% elasticity , withstands water pressure up to 5 Bar , is easy to apply and, after complete hardening, can come into contact with drinking water, TEKNOMER 300 will be an effective solution.
The material provides long-term protection of concrete structures from water penetration, helps avoid leaks and significantly extends the service life of artificial reservoirs, pools, fountains and tanks.
