Subsea Buoyancy Foams


Subsea Buoyancy Foams

Syntactic foams are a combination of spherical, hollow bodies encapsulated in a polymeric matrix. The resultant materials are characterised by high compressive strength to weight ratios, low creep and low water ingress attributes.

Grades



XIRSynM Monolithic machinable syntactics
Available in depth ratings to 6000msw, in standard and custom sizes, for trim applications or for fabrication into complex structures and shapes.

XIRSyn Ultra
Designed for ultra-high performance applications, XIRSyn Ultra exhibits the highest compressive strength to weight ratio syntactics available with extremely low levels of elastic creep.

XIRSyn Macro
XIRSyn Macro is a lightweight, composite syntactic core material available in a wide variety of density/depth rating applications. Utilising high strength composite macrospheres, very low densities can be achieved to depth ratings of 14,764 feet.
