Covex® is a modular floating cover composed of plastic hexagons designed to protect and cover liquid surfaces to avoid evaporation, algae growth, contamination, odors, freezing and heat loss while providing wildlife protection. When installed across the entire liquid surface the hexagons form a barrier that covers approximately 98% of the surface, delivering immediate and measurable benefits.
Key benefits- Evaporation reduction: up to 97% reduction in water loss, enabling significant water conservation.
- Algae and biofilm suppression: about 95% reduction by blocking sunlight and photosynthesis (no chemicals required).
- Odor reduction: over 90% reduction in odors affecting nearby communities.
- Freeze retardant and insulating: the cover’s insulation properties delay freezing for many hours.
- Significant heat loss reduction: insulating effect reduces heat loss and energy consumption.
- Water & wildlife protection: prevents birds and other wildlife from contaminating the liquid surface.
- Mosquito prevention: helps prevent mosquito formation by removing exposed water surface.
Design & advantages- Modular hexagonal elements that interlock to form a continuous coverage layer.
- Hexagons are water-ballasted (filled with water) to lower center of gravity, increase stability and improve wind resistance.
- Manufactured using recycled plastic and designed for low material usage (circular economy approach).
- Maintenance-free in normal operation (reduced need for chemicals, equipment, labor and energy).
- Proven efficiencies validated by universities and technical entities in thermodynamics and fluid dynamics.
Applications- Suitable for ponds, reservoirs and liquid surfaces in agriculture, mining, wastewater treatment and other industrial or environmental uses.
