Thermosets for Subsea Buoyancy Syntactic FoamsProxima® Syntactic Thermoset Resins (STR) are filler compatible resins. These resins maximize the obtainable microspheric loading while providing the processing ease of polyurethanes and toughness superior to epoxies.
Ideal for
- Distributed buoyancy
- Drill riser buoyancy
- Installation buoyancy
- ROV buoyancy
The Proxima® Difference
- Cast defect-free large parts, in excess of 60 gallons, with just a single pour
- Improve productivity and operating costs with fast cycle times
- Up to 30% lower neat resin density than epoxy and polyurethane resins providing material cost savings
- Excellent strength to weight ratio, resisting wear, cracking, chemicals and corrosion in the most challenging environmental conditions
- Superior strength allows consistent performance at deeper depths than other materials; avoid performance problems
- The only olefin thermoset that delivers consistent performance when using a variety of fillers
- Very low moisture absorption
- Offer a wider portfolio of molded products to customers due to significant formulation flexibility and large part casting
- Customize Proxima® to meet your unique requirements to differentiate your product in the marketplace
- Reliable performance when using additives and colorants
- Carbon footprint is 50% lower than epoxies
