Hydro dam operators have been sealing stop logs with our products since 1985 to seal sluice gates, head gates,tainter gates, stop logs and cracks in concrete or rock structures.
Natural Cinders is a new, proven STOPLEAK solution for sealing stop logs that quickly seals gates & stop logs and is environmentally friendly.
Before Natural Cinders
After Natural Cinders
After years of using coal cinders to seal our sluices either for work on the downstream side or to minimize seepage, we had to stop using them. We kept looking for a better solution, J.M. Power Aggregates introduced us to Natural Cinders which is a lot more environmentally friendly and after using it, I can say it is more efficient for sealing.
“It’s all about results!” – Check out our results video!

Within 2 minutes 40 seconds the water leakage below the dam logs is dramatically reduced.

Video description: This time-compressed video shows an animation beside real-time footage of a leaking dam. The animation shows the falling and sealing behaviour of Natural Ciders applied on the upstream side of the dam. Within 2 minutes 33 seconds the water leakage below the dam logs is dramatically reduced.
“Live Action” example of Natural Cinders at work
Video description: This video illustrates the sealing properties of Natural Cinders in a tall water test tank with a hole punched into the side at the bottom left. As the Natural Cinders are added to the top of the tank they fall to the bottom and are drawn to the water outflow at the punched hole. The sealing properties of Natural Cinders quickly seals the hole and the water flow stops.
