WaterGelSacks™: The innovative defense solution for flooding and emergencies (beware of imitations)
WaterGelSacks™ offers a groundbreaking system designed to protect against floods and other emergencies. These bags inflate instantly upon contact with water (or other liquids) and provide a revolutionary way to minimize the damage typically caused by such events.
At the heart of this solution is SAP (SuperAbsorbent Polymer), a cutting-edge molecule that can absorb hundreds of times its own weight and volume in water. In just 4 minutes, the polymer reaches 90% of its capacity, transforming water into a stable gel. This enables WaterGelSacks™ to function much like a traditional sandbag but with significantly greater efficiency, helping to mitigate floods, landslides, fire hazards, and other threats.
Environmentally friendly and highly effective
WaterGelSacks™ are 100% environmentally friendly. They are non-toxic, flavorless, pollution-free, biodegradable, and decompose naturally without leaving harmful residues. Our range of polymers is also widely used in agriculture as a water retention agent or combined with fertilizers, as well as in various sanitary and hygienic products, demonstrating their versatility and sustainability.
Built for strength and durability.
The outer layer of each WaterGelSacks™ is made from jute, a natural fiber known for its exceptional strength and durability. This reputation was solidified during World War I when jute bags were used to reinforce trenches. Today, this durable material is used in a range of applications, including repairing dikes, reinforcing embankments with inclinations up to 60%, and stabilizing substrates.
Inside the jute bag is a semi-porous cotton liner, which holds the SAP securely. Like jute, cotton is a 100% natural fiber with excellent hydrophilic properties, ensuring the polymer stays contained and efficient.

The ultimate barrier solution.
WaterGelSacks™ are entirely biodegradable and compostable (see videos). When submerged in water, these jute bags expand within 4 minutes, maintaining their shape and allowing for quick and easy deployment. Once inflated, the bags can be stored and reused as many times and applications as needed, until the end of their useful life.
As a high-performance alternative to traditional sandbags, WaterGelSacks™ are lightweight, while providing also a much better consistent shape and flexibility. This makes them ideal for optimizing the design and construction of any protective barrier, whether for flood control, fire prevention, or other practical engineering needs.
