BCF-40B

BCF-40B

Reinforced Polymeric Composite

Our BCF-40b is a specially engineered, high-quality syntactic material designed to meet core requirements for a variety of subsea and oceanographic applications.

The combination of advanced composite with a toughened resin matrix provides much higher stiffness and shear strengths, and greater impact and shock properties than standard core materials.

The nature of the integral materials permit the density, strength and stiffness of BCF-40b to be tailored to the specific requirements of the end user.
