The industry has started installing thermal insulating material for deepwater subsea equipment, flowlines, and pipelines to ensure hydrocarbon flow under adverse conditions.

What we do know, however, is that the metal is the first metallic syntactic foam that has a density that is lower than water, allowing it to float.

Syntactic foam material is made from micro-spheres made from glass, metal, or ceramic and combined in a matrix of polymer, metal, or ceramic. The material is mainly used for buoyancy in deep-sea ...

Syntactic foam is key in subsea applications such as riser insulation, buoyancy modules, and floats.

A syntactic foam is a composite material that is produced by filling a metal, polymer, or ceramic with pre-formed inorganic spheres known as micro balloons. ‘Syntactic’ is a term that refers to the ...

The global syntactic foam market size was US$ 115.1 billion in 2021. The global syntactic foam market is forecast to grow to US$ 218.1 billion by 2030 by registering a compound annual growth rate ...

"Emerging economies are projected to drive the growth of the syntactic foam market. Countries like India, China, and Brazil are witnessing rapid industrialization and infrastructure development ...

image: The first metal matrix syntactic foam is so light it can float, strong enough to withstand the rigors of a marine environment, and resistant to heat, which makes it a candidate for ...
