Floatation blocks

Foam-Control® EPS Floatation Blocks are highly buoyant and can be shaped for almost any application. Foam-Control® EPS floatation blocks work in synergy with chemical- and impact-resistant coatings/coverings for maximum service and environmental safety. Protective coatings/coverings must be used to encapsulate the Foam-Control® EPS. This ensures optimum service life and meets many of today's marine design standards.
 

Our Foam-Control EPS Floatation Blocks are:

Extremely Buoyant

• One cubic foot of material will float 60 lbs. of weight at water level
• Made in a variety of sizes 
• Easily installed using common tools and assembly techniques

Highly Stable

• With proper care and protection, they will not corrode, decay or sink when punctured
• They provide years of floatation service

Environmentally Safer

• Contain no CFC, HCFC, HFC or formaldehyde
• Recyclable
• Inert, non-nutritive, highly stable
• Will not decompose, decay or produce gases or leachates
  

Well Designed

• Fresh and saltwater compatible
• Protect from mechanical damage: decking above; skirting to or below water line may also be required
• Coatings/coverings inhibit damage from wildlife and other mechanical and chemical damage
• Install with through-bolts and 6" dia. washers minimum, or strapping of non-corrosive metal installed with compatible screws-stainless steel, copper, hot-dipped galvanized, etc.
