Syntactic foam is a high strength, light weight material that is created by using hollow spheres, typically made of glass, that are bound together with a thermoset polymer. The use of the word foam can be misleading as many people when they think of foam think of something that is weak and flexible. Here the word foam related to the cellular structure of the material, but SynFoam is a material that has incredibly high strength and modulus that makes it useful for many composite applications. SynFoam syntactic foam, with its unique properties of high strength and low density, is widely used in the subsea buoyancy industry. They provide weight reduction and buoyancy for various underwater applications and resist hydrostatic pressure and long term water exposure up to the depth at which the syntactic foam is rated.
