Syntactic foam's high strength and low weight make it well suited for all types of flotation devices
Syntactic foam's high strength and low weight make it well suited for all types of flotation devices used in the offshore oil and gas industry. Cuming Corporation engineers made the very first syntactic foam buoyancy modules for marine risers in 1968, helping to launch the worldwide deepwater exploration for oil and gas, and have been involved in every major offshore advance since then. Our C-FLOAT syntactic foam has the ability to withstand use at ocean depths of 10,000 feet and more for many years.

Our C-FLOAT syntactic foam's strength and low weight make it well suited for the many types of devices shown below.
