1. Product Overview
Water-activated cement blanket, also known as concrete cloth, is a geosynthetic material made of a fabric impregnated with dry cement mix. Once hydrated with water, it hardens into a durable, water-resistant concrete layer. This product combines flexibility in application with the strength of traditional concrete, making it an ideal choice for slope stabilization, erosion control, and protective lining in civil and environmental engineering projects.
2. Product Features
- Quick and Easy Installation: Hardens after simple hydration, requiring no additional tools or equipment.
- High Durability: Resistant to weathering, water, and mechanical stress, ensuring long-term performance.
- Flexible and Adaptable: Conforms to uneven surfaces, making it suitable for irregular terrains.
- Waterproof and Eco-Friendly: Provides excellent water resistance while being safe for environmental use.
- Cost-Effective Solution: Reduces labor and material costs compared to traditional concrete methods.

5. Installation Guidelines
- Surface Preparation: Clean and level the surface, removing debris and vegetation for optimal contact.
- Placement: Roll out the cement blanket over the designated area and position it according to the design.
- Hydration: Use a hose or spray to evenly wet the blanket until fully saturated.
- Anchoring: Secure the edges with stakes, nails, or weights to prevent movement during curing.
- Curing: Allow 24 to 48 hours for the blanket to fully harden and bond with the surface.
- Inspection: Check for proper hydration and ensure the material has set before exposing it to heavy use.
