Innovative Technology Solution

Super-Absorbent Polymer × Mortise-Tenon Structure = Revolutionary Flood Defense

The Challenge We're Addressing

Growing Severity of Flooding

Climate change is increasing the frequency and intensity of floods, turning rare events into recurring threats. Urban expansion worsens the risk, as paved surfaces prevent natural water absorption and increase runoff.

Multifaceted Impacts of Flood Damage

Floods cause not only direct property loss but also disrupt vital services, halt economies, and drain public resources long after the water recedes. Lasting consequences include extended recovery, rising insurance costs, and weakened community resilience.

Limitations of Current Solutions

Existing flood defenses involve difficult trade-offs: traditional methods are slow and labor-intensive, while newer barriers tend to be either costly or complex. Most lack the scalability, sustainability, and ease of use needed in real emergencies.

Kratos's Innovative Solution

Modular Design + Smart Materials + Self-Locking Structure

01

Modular SAP Units

Using super-absorbent polymer (SAP) technology, each module expands rapidly in 3-5 minutes upon contact with water, absorbing 300 times its weight to form a stable protective barrier.

02

Mortise-Tenon Self-Locking

Inspired by traditional Chinese joinery, our innovative self-tightening structure locks modules together. Stronger water impact creates tighter connections, achieving passive reinforcement.

03

Eco-Sustainable

Made with biodegradable outer bags and eco-friendly SAP materials, reusable 50+ deployment cycles. Volume reduces by 90% when dry for easy storage and transport.

04

Rapid Deployment System

No professional training or heavy equipment required. 2-3 people can deploy a 100-meter defense line in 30 minutes, improving emergency response speed by 10x.

05

Significant cost-effectiveness

Based on a lifespan design of over 50 cycles, Kratos' full lifecycle cost is much lower than a one-time solution. Internal calculations show that within a 5-year period, its total holding cost can be reduced by about 60% compared to traditional procurement methods.

06

Proactively prevent disasters and reduce risks

The reliability of Kratos can be integrated into the risk management framework of assets. Preliminary discussions with insurance institutions indicate that adopting verifiable flood prevention measures is expected to provide commercial properties with a 5% -15% premium discount, converting disaster prevention investment into long-term financial returns.
