SynFoam Syntactic Foam

SynFoam HP

High Strength Syntactic Foam for Demanding Applications

SynFoam HP products provide high strength and low density for a number of marine and aerospace applications. The high strength values allow SynFoam HP to be effectively used for most underwater vehicles and has been used in naval submarines. Synfoam HP-24 is qualified for use under specification Mil-S-24154A. It is ideal for use in applications that require weight reduction and little reduction of strength such as being used as a core for sandwich structures. SynFoam HP is designed to resist water absorption and provide excellent performance for deep water submersion in both manned and unmanned vehicles. Densities can be customized to the users specifications.

Synfoam HP is available as 6” x 12” x 24” fully cured blocks. A team of experienced molders ensures the highest possible performance of syntactic foams at densities above 20 pcf. The blocks may be further machined into different sizes and shapes by the end user to meet the necessary specific tolerances and requirements. Our syntactic foam is easily bonded together with the use of our syntactic adhesive to form large structures.
