1. Product Overview
Canal lining cement blanket, also known as concrete cloth or waterproof cement mat, is a geosynthetic material infused with dry concrete mix. Once hydrated with water, it hardens into a strong, impermeable concrete layer. This product offers a cost-effective, easy-to-install solution for anti-seepage and erosion control in river channels, canals, and other water management structures, ensuring long-term environmental protection and structural integrity.
2. Product Features
- Superior Waterproofing: Creates an impermeable layer that prevents water seepage effectively.
- Durable and Weather-Resistant: Withstands UV exposure, weather changes, and prolonged water contact.
- Flexible and Adaptable: Conforms to irregular canal surfaces and slopes.
- Quick Installation: Requires minimal equipment; hardens within 24 to 48 hours after hydration.
- Eco-Friendly Material: Reduces water loss and is safe for aquatic environments.
- Cost-Effective Solution: Saves time and labor costs compared to traditional concrete lining methods.

4. Application Areas
- River Channel Waterproofing: Provides durable anti-seepage solutions for rivers and streams.
- Canal Lining: Prevents water seepage and soil erosion in irrigation and drainage canals.
- Water Reservoirs: Ensures waterproofing for reservoirs and artificial lakes.
- Aquaculture Facilities: Protects fish ponds and aquaculture channels with erosion-resistant linings.
- Hydraulic Structures: Stabilizes and waterproofs embankments, spillways, and culverts.
5. Installation Guidelines
- Surface Preparation: Clear the area of debris, vegetation, and loose soil to ensure proper contact.
- Placement: Unroll the cement blanket along the canal or river channel, ensuring proper alignment.
- Hydration: Evenly saturate the blanket with water using a hose or sprayer.
- Anchoring: Secure the edges with stakes, weights, or nails to prevent displacement.
- Curing: Allow 24 to 48 hours for full hardening and adhesion to the canal surface.
- Inspection: Verify proper hydration and setting before allowing water flow or usage.
