Engineered Syntactic Systems AZ-34 Deep Water Syntactic Foam

Syntactic foams are a combination of hollow spheres, a resin matrix, and other additives. When combined and processed properly, the constituents form a lightweight homogeneous material having high compressive and hydrostatic strengths. This yields a product able to withstand the high hydrostatic pressures experienced by today’s manned and unmanned subsea vehicles.The HZ Grade of syntactic has been formulated to survive the deepest depths of the ocean. This class of syntactic will survive crush pressures greater than 20,000 psi making for safe operation in the Hadal Zone. These engineered products can provide up to 24 pounds of buoyancy per cubic foot at these depths. Each block is cast as a single unit, but may be cut to fit the application requirement. Blocks or trimmed parts may also be bonded together to form a larger structure.
