Aquatain liquid anti-evaporation film
Aquatain is a unique silicone-based liquid which spreads across the water surface, forming a very thin film and greatly reducing evaporation.
The concept of a monolayer is not new – it’s been known for many years that some industrial alcohols can reduce evaporation in this way, but alcohols degrade very quickly and must be re-applied every couple of days.
Aquatain uses the same concept, but with advanced materials to greatly improve its performance and longevity.
Aquatain can be used anywhere there is a requirement to reduce evaporation:
- Drinking water storages
- Farm dams
- Mining dams
- Golf courses
- Even swimming pools!
Trials have confirmed that the water savings from using Aquatain far outweigh the costs. With water prices likely to escalate in many areas, Aquatain will become even more cost-effective.
Is Aquatain safe?
Yes, it is! Silicones are used in hundreds of applications including water-repellent sealers, hair conditioners and lipsticks. They are also used to reduce foam in commercial food applications and as non-stick sprays in the baking trade.
Aquatain holds NSF International Certification for use on drinking water.
An independent water quality report has concluded that:
- Aquatain added to the surface of water bodies does not affect the chemistry of the water
- the film of Aquatain does not prevent the water from oxygenation
- there is no evidence that aquatic life suffers a negative effect
- Aquatain does not produce any effects that would be deleterious for potable water quality.
