Engineered Syntactic Systems

Macrofoam is a specially engineered, high quality macrosphere syntactic foam designed to meet the requirements of a variety of subsea and oceanographic applications. MacroFoam products integrate fiber reinforced spheres into the standard syntactic structure, which produce a unique new set of properties. These properties allow for the attainment of lower densities in some applications as well as the fabrication of larger standard sizes and custom structures. Additionally, the inclusion of the fiber reinforced macrospheres into the syntactic system generally equates to lower cost buoyancy for a given depth. Due to the nature of the constituent materials, the density, strength and stiffness of MacroFoam may be tailored to meet the specific requirements of the end user’s application, providing greater flexibility for challenging designs.

FireShield – LFST is a low-density syntactic material specifically designed to meet the flame, smoke and toxicity requirements of the construction industry. Providing all the strength of traditional building materials at a fraction of the weight, Fireshield –LFST installs quickly and easily reducing labor and material costs. In addition to being ideally suited for applications where adherence to fire safety codes are mandatory, FireShield-LFST provides the additional benefit of radio frequency wave transparency, for improved communication.
