Syntactic foam blocks for the Leibniz Institute

The Leibniz Insitute at University of Kiel in Germany is one of the most prestigious European research institute. It has 750 technical and scientific employees all involved in marine science, geology and meteorogical researches. For new experiments in ultra deepwater also the Liebniz Institute uses Resinex syntactic foam bloaks. During 2010 various blocks were supplied by Resinex to be used at a depth of 4.000 metres and at 6.000 metres.
The syntactic foam products are produced by Resinex in its specialized plant of Torbiato. Then, they are tested in the other specialized plant of Adro where the pressure and buoyancy tests are performed. The pressure tanks at Adro plant can test till 880 bars (8.800 meter).
The Leibniz Insitute makes research in all the ocean’s world. The 4 division studies: Ocean circulation and climate dynamics, Marine Biogechemistry, Marine Ecology and dynamics of the ocean floor.
During 2013 Resinex supplied another important actor of german oceanology. 140 squared floats with a nett buoyancy from 17 to 21 Kgs were supplied to Geomar Helmholtz  Centre for Ocean Research Kiel, one of the leading marine research institutions worldwide.
The operative water depth is 6.000 metres.
