Engineered Syntactic Systems MZ-38

Engineered Syntactic Systems MZ-38 is a premium syntactic foams safely operate in the oceans Mesopelagic Zone, at depths ranging from the surface down to 1,000 meters. Fabricated with advanced microsphere technology, these homogenous materials offer both low density and lower cost considerations. MZ 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.
