HardBall® Float Subsea Buoyancy

The Solid Choice

An excellent alternative to glass sphere flotation, DeepWater Buoyancy’s Hardball® Floats provide subsea buoyancy for a wide variety of oceanographic applications. Made for the demands of subsea moorings, as well as the rigors of handling on the decks of vessels, HardBall® Floats are built of strong solid materials for years of reliable service.

No need for a protective covering.  No need to handle carefully.  No need for regular inspection and maintenance.  No danger of implosions at depth.  Just rugged, versatile subsea buoyancy – The Solid Choice.

HardBall® Float – The buoyant core of the float is made of only the highest strength, epoxy-based DeepTec® solid syntactic foam.

Available in a wide range of sizes and depth ratings the HardBall® Float lives up to its name.  The buoyant core of the float is made of only the highest strength, epoxy-based DeepTec® solid syntactic foam – no macrospheres or other high-risk fillers are used.
