Traditional buoyancy materials generally use polyurethane foam, epoxy foam or other foam plastic, although the cost is low, but the pressure strength is low, soaking for some time, will lose water buoyancy, the use of poor reliability. People began to develop lightweight high-strength solid buoyancy materials to replace the traditional buoyancy materials for deep-sea resource exploration and mining.
At present, the use of high-performance hollow glass beads filled with polymer synthesis of deep-sea high-strength buoyant material has been applied. It is made of epoxy resin
As the substrate, filled with a certain amount of high-performance hollow glass beads and other additives into a light buoyant material. In the deep sea oil and gas field exploration and operations to reflect the light, resistant to seawater corrosion, dimensional stability, high strength, good insulation and many other advantages.
