| TG Grade syntactic foams are lightweight and economical for building manned and remote operating vehicles. The foams are also used to manufacture mine neutralization systems because of their zero magnetic and sea-water comparable acoustic signatures. These composite foams provide ultra low densities by selecting only the highest specification hollow glass microspheres, called Eccospheres®, and combining them within a rigid, high strength resin system. The syntactic foam is typically cast into blocks and then is used to prepare large buoyancy modules that can be readily shaped to conform to hull contours and outfitted for installation in the forward and aft free-flood areas of submarines.
