Syntactic Materials Technology

Syntactic foams are a unique family of engineering materials characterised by low density, high compression strength, low levels of water absorption and thermal conductivity. Over 100 proprietary Syntactic Materials Systems have been developed by Matrix to offer varying combinations of density, mechanical properties, thermal properties, processability and cost. All Matrix monolithic and composite syntactic foam systems are tested to the applicable API and MIL standards where appropriate.

Matrix manufactures a range of proprietary monolithic and composite syntactic foams to depth ratings of 6000msw. Standard, low density and ultralight grades are offered to suit client specific applications. The company's main syntactic foam production facility has the capacity to produce 8000lts of syntactic foam per hour and can cast a 4000lt syntactic foam part in a single shot. Vacuum Process, Autoclave infusion and computer controlled curing processes ensure consistent product quality.
