ROV Buoyancy
F-TEC provides ROV buoyancy blocks for Remote Operated Vehicles (ROV) and related ROV tooling suited to a depth of 2000msw.
F-TEC chemistry is adaptable to produce an epoxy/microsphere syntactic block which can have macro spheres added during the manufacturing process to increase uplift for a specific volume.
We provide engineering support/design throughout product design and manufacture stages.
For further information contact F-TEC.
Features:
- Blocks are poured or machined to produce a custom design
- Suitable for bolt on additions, providing additional buoyancy to existing configuration
- Fibreglass/Syntatic skin available for increased impact strength
- Inserts can be cast into blocks

UHMWPE ROV Frames
F-TEC provides UHMWPE (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) frames for ROVs and ROV tooling (Remote Operated Vehicle).
UHMWPE frames are a buoyant alternative to Aluminium frames. F-TEC can machine UHMWPE to a client’s specific requirements. The frame can be screwed, bolted and/or clamped together to provide a frame work suitable for harsh under water operating conditions.
With the following characteristics, UHMWPE is a functional, buoyant alternative to heavy expensive Aluminium.
Features:
- Machinable Sheets and Rods to produce and design
- High impact resistance, highest of all thermo plastics, comparable to steel
- High abrasion resistance, better than Steel
- Low friction, better than Teflon
- Buoyant
- Chemically and UV resistant
- No moisture absorption
