WHAT IS POND
SHIELD? What is Pond
Shield? Well that depends upon which Pond Shield
product you are referring to. There is
Pond
Shield Epoxy and Pond Shield-FSP. Let us
explain.
POND SHIELD EPOXY Simply
put, Pond Shield is a specialized non-toxic epoxy
liner system designed for the pond industry. The
days of needing a pond liner to complete your pond
are over. If you want to create a pond with a more
natural look or you'd like to build a more formal
pond, without covering up all of your beautiful work
with a pond liner, then our epoxy pond liner system
is for you! Our epoxy pond
liner system can be used for any type of water
feature. Koi ponds, waterfalls, fountains and water
gardens to name a few. You'll find that our epoxy
pond liner systems are non-toxic meaning they are
fish and plant safe. Pond Shield is a NON-HAZMAT and
costs less to ship too! For most applications, a
single coat application is all is needed for proper
coverage and your finished epoxy pond liner will be
complete and virtually maintenance free!
Our epoxy pond liner systems offer
both strength and flexibility in a coating.
Flexibility and strength that is tested down to -78°
F, all the way up to 140° F, our epoxy liner systems
have a proven record that speaks for itself. These
are epoxy pond liner systems that have been
specifically designed to bond to porous or abraded
materials. With a tensile bond strength that was
found to be stronger than the internal strength of
the concrete it was applied to, you can rest assured
that your single coat of pond epoxy will stick to
what you apply it to. Over
time, hairline cracks can form in mortar or grout
joints as well as concrete. The last thing you need
is for this to happen and then be transferred to
your epoxy pond liner, causing a leak. Being
flexible, our epoxy pond liner systems resists mimic
cracking like this and provide you with the best
protection possible in your coating. It's also
possible to enhance the performance of your epoxy
pond liner (in crack susceptible areas) by using it
along with fiberglass mat or tape and as a filler
when mixed with colloidal silica of micro fibers.
There are other coatings on the
market, but what you get with our epoxy pond liner
system is peace of mind. This peace of mind comes
from knowing you didn't pay outrageous prices for
installation of your pond coating, or from knowing
you didn't have to purchase anything extra like
primers or thinners for your coating. Your peace of
mind will also come from knowing that once our epoxy
pond liner system is applied, you only spent about
$1.24 per square foot and that your new epoxy pond
liner will be easy to maintain and provide you with
the aesthetics you always wanted from your pond.
That means, no more unsightly folds or creases.
You'll have a surface that algae just wipes right
off!
POND
SHIELD-FSP So what does
the "FSP" stand for anyway? Fish Safe Polyurea, of
course. It's true, Pond Shield-FSP is Polyurea. Ok,
for those of you that are familiar with what
Polyurea is, this description is not going to be
anything new. However, you should keep reading,
because as you read on, you'll soon see how Pond
Armor has revolutionized Polyurea by making it
accessible to everyone.
Polyurea has it technical definitions but you most
likely know it as the pond construction coating that
has a very high tear resistance as well as an
equally impressive elongation. If you're familiar
with that, then you also know that it has typically
been cost prohibitive as well. Traditionally, a huge
pricey piece of specialized equipment operated by a
specially trained crew would be required to install
your coating. This is about to change!
You no longer need expensive
specialists to install your Polyurea coating. You or
your contractor can now apply Polyurea without the
high overhead! In the past,
anyone wishing to have a pond coated with Polyurea
would have to hire an installer with a special rig
and equipment to come in and spray the liner. The
cost to do so could have been anywhere from $12-$15
per square foot. If you're
an installer, you may have wanted to be able to
provide an alternative to EPDM liners, but the cost
for a specialized rig and equipment was cost
prohibitive. The cost of these rigs can start in the
low tens of thousands and quickly go up. That's a
big investment for most people to make. How has Pond
Shield-FSP changed that? Pond Armor now offers a
delivery system that brings the Polyurea application
into an installer’s or home owner’s hands at an
affordable price. Think of it. A Polyurea delivery
system for less than $800 that applies the coating
every bit as well as any of those expensive rigs do.
Yes, you've heard the stories, Polyurea application
takes very specialized training to apply. The
reality is that it is not the application the need
high levels of specialized training as much as it is
the use of the specialized equipment. However,
unlike the old methods of applying Polyurea, Pond
Shield-FSP can be applied easily with only a small
amount of instruction by using our equipment.
A brand new delivery system for a
fraction of the cost of any specialized rig.
