Product Overview

The Lotus Pond Geomembrane is specifically engineered to provide reliable waterproofing for lotus ponds, where maintaining water quality is essential for the healthy growth of lotus plants and other aquatic life. Whether used in landscaping, ornamental ponds, or aquatic farming, this geomembrane ensures that the pond remains leak-free, preventing water loss and contamination. Constructed from high-quality materials such as HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) or PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride), the Lotus Pond Geomembrane offers superior performance against UV rays, chemical exposure, and mechanical stresses, while maintaining a safe and sustainable aquatic environment.

Product Features

• Waterproofing & Leak Prevention: The primary feature of the Lotus Pond Geomembrane is its ability to prevent water leakage, providing a reliable and impermeable barrier that ensures the pond retains water for optimal lotus plant growth.
• UV Resistance: With UV stabilizers, this geomembrane is designed to resist degradation caused by prolonged sun exposure, making it ideal for outdoor applications where direct sunlight is a concern.
• Durability: The material is robust and can withstand harsh environmental conditions, including temperature fluctuations, mechanical stresses, and the weight of overlying soil or rocks.
• Chemical Resistance: The geomembrane offers excellent resistance to a wide range of chemicals, ensuring it remains intact in environments exposed to fertilizers, pesticides, and other common chemicals used in aquatic plant care.
• Flexibility & Adaptability: The Lotus Pond Geomembrane is flexible and easy to install, able to conform to the contours of the pond, which helps prevent wrinkles and ensures a smooth, secure lining.
• Low Permeability: The geomembrane has extremely low permeability, ensuring that water, contaminants, or chemicals do not escape, preserving the health of the pond ecosystem.
• Protects Aquatic Life: By maintaining a stable environment and preventing leakage, the geomembrane helps protect both lotus plants and other aquatic life in the pond, promoting a sustainable ecosystem.

Product Specifications

• Material: Typically made from HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) or PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) for long-term durability and environmental resistance.
• Thickness: Standard thickness ranges from 0.5 mm to 2.0 mm, depending on the specific application and environmental conditions.
• Width: Rolls are available in standard widths of 4 meters to 6 meters, with custom widths available to accommodate larger pond dimensions.
• Length: Geomembrane rolls are typically 50 meters to 100 meters in length, depending on project needs.
• Tensile Strength: Usually ranges from 15 MPa to 30 MPa, providing excellent mechanical strength for high-stress environments.
• Elongation at Break: Typically ranges from 12% to 20%, allowing the geomembrane to stretch and adjust to the natural shifts in the pond structure without damage.
• Permeability: Extremely low permeability (less than 1 x 10^-13 cm/s), ensuring that water remains contained within the pond without leakage.
• Color: Black is the most common color, as it enhances UV resistance and minimizes the growth of algae. Custom colors may be available upon request.

Applications

• Lotus Pond Landscaping: Used in ornamental and decorative lotus ponds, ensuring that the pond retains water and provides an ideal environment for lotus growth.
• Aquatic Farming: Ideal for use in lotus farming or other aquatic plant cultivation, providing a controlled environment for healthy plant growth and water conservation.
• Water Features: Commonly used in water garden installations, creating beautiful and functional water features that require secure and leak-proof pond liners.
• Ecosystem Preservation: Suitable for any pond designed to house a variety of aquatic plants and animals, ensuring the pond ecosystem remains balanced and protected from external contamination.
• Wildlife and Habitat Ponds: Used to create controlled aquatic habitats for local wildlife, offering a safe and sustainable water source for animals and plants.

Construction Recommendations

1. Site Preparation: Before installation, the pond area must be cleared of sharp objects, rocks, and debris to prevent punctures in the geomembrane. The base of the pond should be leveled and compacted to ensure the geomembrane sits securely and evenly.

2. Installation Method: Lay the Lotus Pond Geomembrane smoothly over the prepared site, ensuring that it is wrinkle-free. The geomembrane should be unrolled slowly, and the edges should be overlapped or welded together to create a seamless barrier. Avoid excessive stretching during installation to prevent damage or deformation.

3. Seam Welding: Use heat welding or extrusion welding techniques to join adjacent geomembrane sheets. The seams should be properly tested using air or vacuum pressure tests to ensure that the joins are watertight and free of leaks.

4. Protection During Installation: To avoid damage to the geomembrane during installation, it should be handled with care. Use geotextile fabrics or protective layers to shield the membrane from sharp edges and heavy equipment that could cause punctures.

5. Backfilling and Covering: Once the geomembrane is installed, cover it with a protective layer, such as soil or a light gravel cover, to prevent UV degradation and physical damage. Backfilling should be done gently and evenly to avoid putting undue stress on the membrane.

6. Inspection and Maintenance: After installation, inspect the geomembrane periodically for any signs of damage, punctures, or wear. Regular maintenance and checks should be performed, especially after extreme weather events, to ensure the membrane continues to perform effectively.
