What is Aquatain?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!

What about the effect of waves and strong winds?Wave action and strong winds can disturb the Aquatain film temporarily, but the silicone lattice will re-form when the wind drops.Is Aquatain cost-effective?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
