The combination of hollow glass microspheres and a resin matrix, known as syntactic foam, is central to any buoyancy manufacturing operation. Balmoral has introduced, for the first time, an automated system which provides consistent quality syntactic material, critical to achieving high performance buoyancy products.
By implementing hot and cold cure processing, supported by refined hardware to provide control over temperature, duration and cool-down times, Balmoral Offshore Engineering has overcome product failure issues such as stress, material instability and brittleness, experienced by traditional manufacturing operations.
