Pure Syntactic Foams
 |
Pure syntactic foam is composed of a polymer binder and light-weight hollow particles. It has a microscopically porous structure with controlled amount of closed-cell voids, which offers the attractive properties such as low density, high strength, low water absorption and good chemical resistance. They are widely used as deep water buoyancy materials in various applications, and can be molded or machined to any desired shape.
Composite syntactic foam is a multi-phase system with two or more different types of fillers. It is an effective solution when very low density (large buoyancy per unit volume) and high strength are desired. |

CBM has a state-of-the-art syntactic foam manufacturing facility with an annual throughput of more than 5,000 m3 of the foam.
CBM offers a wide selection of different grades of pure and composite syntactic foams. Custom grades and unique features are available upon request. |
Composite Syntactic Foam
 |
Composite syntactic foams consist of the pure syntactic foams and the composite hollow macrospheres. Their multi-phase composite microstructure makes them an effective solution when very low density (large buoyancy per unit volume) and high strength is desired. Buoyancy blocks made of composite syntactic foams can be molded to the desired shape. However, its machinability is limited due to the possibility of damaging its microstructure. |
CBM offers a wide selection of various grades of pure and composite syntactic foams. Custom grades are also available upon request.
