Engineered Syntactic Systems AZ-29

Engineered Syntactic Systems AZ-29 Grade premium syntactic foams are engineered to operate in the deep-water regions of the ocean’s Abyssopelagic Zone, at depths ranging from 4,000 down to 6,000 meters. These specially formulated systems utilize advanced hollow glass spheres to attain the lowest possible density in the industry. AZ Grade syntactic foams are available in block form and may be readily used for customer assembly or cut to fit application requirements. Blocks or trimmed parts may also be bonded together to form larger structures.
