Syntactic Foam Subsea Buoyancy Material

Syntactic Foam Subsea Buoyancy Material

The subsea buoyancy material is mainly used underwater. Based on its characteristics of low density and high pressure resistance, it mainly provides the required buoyancy for underwater operation equipment. Spray coating or protective layer treatment can be applied to the surface as required. Often manufactured and processed into floats, buoys and other counterweight products. It can also be directly machined into product parts.

It can not only meet the mechanical requirements of the product structure, but also greatly reduce the product weight and other functions. The application of this material realizes the functions that are difficult for metal structural parts to realize. At present, it has been used in underwater deep submersibles, underwater robots, etc., and can be used safely at depths of several thousand meters underwater.
