The specific composition of the Resinex syntactic foam allows for underwater use up to 11,000 meters of depth thanks to the high resistance of the material.<\/p><\/div>\n

High resistance up to 11.000 metres of depth<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Resinex started manufacturing syntactic foam buoys in the\u00a0early 1990s<\/strong>: after years of research and experimentations, it succeeded in creating the perfect compound suitable for floats that have to reach the\u00a0deepest areas of the oceans<\/strong>.
\nThe specific composition of Resinex syntactic foam allows the underwater use\u00a0up to 11.000 metres of depth<\/strong>, where a\u00a0high resistance to pressure<\/strong>\u00a0and to different external factors are necessary: even the deepest point of the ocean is within our reach. The key points are a very\u00a0high strength of the material<\/strong>\u00a0and a\u00a0zero water absorption rate<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The excellent performance of Resinex syntactic foam modules is always confirmed by the routine quality tests carried out at Resinex Marine Research Centre in Adro (Brescia).
\nThe\u00a0quality tests<\/strong>\u00a0are essential, as Resinex always looks for improvement and product refinement.<\/p>\n

Another company\u2019s key point is the excellent\u00a0versatility<\/strong>: Resinex can customize the syntactic floats according to the specific application and the depth of positioning.<\/p>\n

Syntactic foam buoys are mainly requested in\u00a0Oceanography<\/strong>\u00a0and also in the Oil&Gas Industry.
\nIn O&G, Resinex floats are used for anchoring, medium and long-term positioning of submarine structures and pipeline installation at different depths.
\nAfter the first medium-small projects in the 1990s and early 2000s, Resinex acquired the necessary experience to deal with the major projects all over the world.<\/p>\n

Resinex\u2019s Oceanography: an overview<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Resinex supplies syntactic floats for Oceanography, both for business activities and scientific studies, where floats\u2019 application depth can be up to 11.000 metres. Projects are usually related to\u00a0sea and environmental monitoring<\/strong>,\u00a0tsunami warning<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0seabed studies<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The British company\u00a0Sonardyne<\/strong>, the world market leader in underwater positioning, has been cooperating with Resinex for more than 20 years, asking for high performance floatation collars for its range of subsea acoustic transponders.
\nThrough the years,\u00a0iXBlue<\/strong>\u00a0often required float collars and spherical buoys too, for the deployment of acoustic releases.
\nResinex supplied\u00a0PLOCAN<\/strong>\u00a0with syntactic foam floats for the\u00a0ESTOC station<\/strong>\u00a0in the Canary Islands, a point of study and monitoring of oceanic activity.
\nOver time, also\u00a0G\u00fcralp<\/strong>\u00a0has often required special syntactic floats for a wide range of projects related to studies on earthquake\/tsunami warning and ocean monitoring.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
