Hydraton® is a low-permeability, thin capping material that resembles ordinary stone aggregates and can be constructed using manual labor or simple standard machinery, eliminating the need for mechanical compaction. Once hydrated, it attains a dense state.
Hydraton® is a patented, composite-aggregate technology resembling small stones and typically comprised of a dense aggregate core, clay or clay-sized materials, and polymers. For typical freshwater product formulations, Hydraton’s clay (sealant) component consists largely of bentonite clay. However, other clay minerals or clay-sized materials can be incorporated to meet project-specific needs, including product use in marine environments. Other technology parameters (particle size, relative clay content, etc.) can also be modified as appropriate.
