Engineered Syntactic Systems HZ-40 Deep Water Syntactic Foam

Syntactic foams are a unique 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 AZ Grade of syntactics have been designed and constructed to operate in the deep-water regions of the ocean’s Abyssopelagic Zone. (below 4,000 meters/13,100 feet). Standard products, ranging in density from 34 to 40 lbs/ft3, may be selected for customer use based on the specific depth requirements, required buoyancy, desired safety factor, and cost. 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.
