Marine Buoyancy Materials

Select buoyancy materials around operating depth, immersion duration and the net lift required by the complete assembly.

Polyurethane buoyancy foam

A low-density foam route for surface and shallow-water applications. Material selection considers closed-cell structure, water uptake and pressure response.

Epoxy syntactic buoyancy materials

An epoxy matrix with hollow microspheres provides an alternative for applications requiring greater pressure resistance. Density and pressure performance must be matched to the project.

Selection and technical requirements

Consider hydrostatic pressure, long-term water uptake, creep, coatings, inserts and assembly net buoyancy together. Suitable specifications and supporting test data are confirmed for each project.

Discuss your buoyancy requirement

Share the operating depth, immersion duration, temperature, required lift, geometry and connection details so that we can assess the appropriate material route.
