In the field of deep-sea exploration and ocean resource development, ROV (Remote Operated Vehicle) plays a crucial role. However, ROVs face enormous pressure in deep-sea environments, which requires a reliable buoyancy material to maintain stability and safety. Hollow glass microspheres and solid buoyancy materials are developed to meet this demand.

Hollow glass microbeads are lightweight, non-metallic, inorganic, and spherical small particles with excellent physical and chemical properties. It has a lower density than water, providing sufficient buoyancy while also possessing sufficient compressive strength and corrosion resistance. This makes hollow glass microspheres an ideal buoyancy material and widely used in the manufacturing of ROVs.

Solid buoyancy materials are a new type of composite material composed of hollow glass microspheres, organic polymer materials, and other additives. This material not only has excellent buoyancy performance, but also excellent mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, and processing performance. This makes solid buoyancy materials have broad application prospects in deep-sea exploration and marine resource development.


ROV buoyancy block is an important component of ROV, which is responsible for providing the required buoyancy to ensure its stability and safety in deep-sea environments. It can also improve the compressive strength, corrosion resistance, and service life of ROV.
