The Science of Infrastructure Restoration
Engineered over 30 years ago by the pioneers of thermal-fused polyurea, AquaLastic® remains the industry gold standard for elastomeric concrete protection.
Elongation Capacity
100%
Solids (Zero VOCs)
ISO 9001
Quality Standard
A Legacy of Chemistry
From Formula Development to Field Excellence
Decades of Field Validation
For over 30 years, AquaLastic® has been deployed in harsh environments, including high-velocity spillways and irrigation canals. Our legacy is built on field-proven security, offering a restoration vehicle that consistently outperforms standard patch and paint maintenance cycles.
Engineered for Active Infrastructure
Unlike rigid epoxies that fail during thermal shifts, our chemistry prioritizes elastomeric flexibility with 900% elongation. This allows the material to act as a structural bridge that moves with the concrete, preventing active cracks from compromising the monolithic water barrier.
About the Company
Pacific Coatings is the owner and master technical expert of the AquaLastic® brand. With over 30 years of field experience, the company serves as a specialized installation vehicle, providing proprietary high-pressure rigs and the technical expertise needed to solve complex seepage and structural decay.
Technical Mobilization & Precision
We operate as a high-performance mobilization force, deploying our specialized crews and custom-engineered equipment to the most remote infrastructure sites. Our teams are trained to manage the complex logistics of irrigation and hydroelectric projects, ensuring rapid application and minimal operational downtime for every asset we restore.
With a track record spanning decades, we have become a trusted partner for federal, state, and local water agencies. Our restoration results are backed by data-driven performance metrics, making us the primary technical resource for districts seeking to secure their infrastructure through long-term, cost-effective engineering solutions.
Before & After: Proven Performance
The Problem
20-year-old concrete with extensive, leaking cracks that "tried everything" with no luck.
The Result
A seamless, blue protective liner with "no new cracks or old cracks re-opening" since installation.

Technology & Manufacturing Standards
We maintain the highest industrial benchmarks through rigorous quality control and advanced chemical engineering.
ISO 9001 Standards
Our manufacturing processes adhere to ISO 9001 certification, ensuring every batch of AquaLastic® meets strict global requirements for consistency. This commitment to quality guarantees the material performs exactly as engineered under extreme conditions.
Molecular Thermal Fusion
We utilize a proprietary thermal fusion process that triggers an instant reaction, allowing the material to cure in seconds. This creates a monolithic shield that is significantly more durable and reliable than traditional cold-applied coatings.
Advanced Elastomeric Chemistry
The core of our technology is a specialized formula that prioritizes molecular flexibility. By maintaining 900% elongation, the liner functions as a structural bridge that absorbs movement and thermal expansion without cracking or losing its seal.
Deep Substrate Integration
Our application process integrates the polymer into the concrete's microscopic pores, creating a bond that becomes part of the structure. This prevents hydraulic uplift and ensures the liner remains fused even under massive water pressure.
Safety & Environmental Integrity
VOCs
Zero Volatile Organic Compounds
This means no solvents evaporate into the atmosphere during application and nothing leaches into the water column after curing.
Non-Leaching Chemistry
AquaLastic® is 100% solids with zero VOCs. This ensures no solvents evaporate during application or leach into the water, keeping the surrounding environment and water column completely clean.
Aquaculture Certified
Tested for sensitive fish raceways and hatcheries, our material is chemically inert. It does not alter pH levels or react with aquatic life, providing a safe, smooth, and non-toxic surface.
Potable Water Ready
Engineered for safety, AquaLastic® is suitable for irrigation and municipal drinking water systems. Its non-toxic formulation ensures water quality remains uncompromised from the reservoir to the end-user.
A Catalyst for Infrastructure and Water Security
AquaLastic® approved by Bureau of Reclamation
Providing the technical evidence required for federal and state infrastructure funding.
Securing public funding through programs like the Bureau of Reclamation WaterSMART grants requires rigorous documentation of project impact.
The AquaLastic® system serves as the technical foundation for these applications by delivering verified data across three critical pillars:
Verified Water Efficiency
(The Efficiency Mandate)
The Requirement:
Applicants must quantify precise water savings to justify funding.
The Evidence:
With a documented 98% reduction in seepage, AquaLastic® allows Districts to project significant acre-feet savings per year. This high-efficiency rating is a primary driver for grant approval.
Proven Asset Longevity
(The ROI Mandate)
The Requirement:
Funding bodies prioritize "Permanent Infrastructure Improvements" over temporary maintenance.
The Evidence:
Backed by 30 years of field data (including the landmark RD1004 project), our system proves long-term structural viability. We provide the "Life-Cycle Cost Analysis" data that demonstrates a superior return on investment compared to traditional patches.
Specialized Economic Impact
(The Workforce Mandate)
The Requirement:
Many grants favor projects that create high-tech, specialized local labor opportunities.
The Evidence:
AquaLastic® projects create a multi-phase labor ecosystem. While Pacific Coatings LLC provides the specialized application, the project lifecycle supports local jobs in site preparation, engineering oversight, and environmental monitoring. This allows Districts to satisfy job-creation metrics while ensuring the core technology is installed by certified specialists.
Seepage Reduction
Immediate impact on water delivery efficiency.
Year Life Extension
Dramatically lowers the "Life Cycle Cost" in grant applications.
Reclamation District 1004 utilized a phased approach to verify performance before full-scale investment.
