Corecell™ S-Foam – For High Pressure Buoyancy

           

• The foam for high pressure buoyancy
• High hydrostatic crush strength and water resisitance
• Ultra-fine cell size
• Lower density than a syntactic resin film

          

            
CORECELL™ S-FOAM – FOR SUB-SEA BUOYANCY APPLICATIONS
Corecell™ S-Foam has been designed specifically for use in sub-sea buoyancy applications. Its resistance to crushing means that it can withstand depths of over 900m, and its closed-cell structure gives it a high water resistance that ensures buoyancy is maintained over time. With its very high compressive strength, Corecell™ S-Foam can also replace other materials, such as plywood, when creating high strength inserts for through-bolting in composite laminates.

TECHNICAL EXCELLENCE
Having the smallest cell size of all the Corecell™ products, Corecell™ S-Foam absorbs very little resin in lamination processes, thus minimising weight gain. The small cell size and the product’s inherent toughness also contribute to the excellent machineability of Corecell™ S-Foam. Complex shapes can be created in Corecell™ S-Foam using a variety of milling, routing, sawing and drilling techniques.

Corecell™ S-Foam is available at lower densities that can be achieved with a syntactic, with standard products ranging from 200 to just over 300kg/m3.
