Custom ROV buoyancy, umbilical and riser buoyancy, mid water arches
deep water subsea buoyancy modules
High-density, low water absorption floats designed for demanding
subsea environments. Most products are custom manufactured to meet
specific project requirements.
The subsea solid buoyancy material is a solid compound obtained by
filling an organic polymer material with an inorganic light-weight
filler material through a physical and chemical reaction. The
deep-sea buoyancy material is a low-density, high-strength porous
structure material. It is a counterweight material for underwater
operation equipment.
The subsea buoyancy module is a polymer-based solid material with
low density, high strength, and low water absorption. It has the
characteristics of low density (0.35~0.7g/cm3), low water
absorption ( ≤2%), high mechanical strength (compressive strength
1~100MPa), corrosion resistance, and secondary mechanical
processing.
The solid buoyancy modules can meet the requirements of different
underwater applications. An underwater system made of
high-performance solid buoyancy materials. Not only can it dive to
greater depths, increase the payload, and reduce energy
consumption. And it can maintain a stable working condition
underwater. Deep-sea solid buoyancy materials are an indispensable
part of deep diving technology in the 21st century.
Subsea Buoyancy Syntactic Foam
- Subsea solid buoyancy material (syntactic foam) is a lightweight
composite formed by embedding hollow microspheres in polymer
matrices.
- Low density (0.35-0.7g/cm³)
- High strength (1-100MPa)
- Minimal water absorption (<2%)
- Excellent corrosion resistance
Engineered for Extreme Deep-Sea Environments

Our high-performance syntactic foams are specifically designed for
deep-sea applications, offering:
- Lightweight construction
- Exceptional strength-to-weight ratio
- Superior corrosion resistance
- Ultra-high pressure resistance (withstands depths exceeding 10,000
meters)
These subsea buoyancy composites are typically fabricated by
lightweight fillers like hollow glass microspheres to reduce
density, often combining reinforcing fibers (e.g., carbon fiber,
glass fiber) with polymer matrices (e.g., polyurethane, epoxy
resin).
Applications
Our buoyancy modules are widely used in:
- Manned submersibles
- ROV/AUV buoyancy systems
- Subsea oil and gas pipelines
- Deep-sea mining equipment
By reducing structural weight while enhancing durability, our
syntactic foams extend equipment lifespans and improve energy
efficiency in marine operations.
Chemical Foaming Solid Buoyancy Material
The chemical foaming method buoyancy material is a kind of
polyurethane-epoxy resin rigid foam composite material made by the
chemical foaming method.
