What Kind Of Foam Is Used For The Bulkhead Of My Perception Kayak?

All Perception boats with bulkheads use 2” think Synergy® Foam.
 
ADVANTAGES OF 2” THICK SYNERGY® FOAM:

  • Polyethylene foam is 100% recyclable.
  • Unlike cross-linked foams, the Synergy® foam does not out gas, which results in fewer bubbles in the sealant.
  • Bulkheads are cut on a water jet machining system resulting in accurate, consistent shapes based on CAD data.
  • Two ½” deep routed slots on the hatch side of the bulkhead allow the foam to be compressed in place resulting in a tight fit between the hull and bulkhead.
  • ¼” beveled edge on both sides of the bulkhead create more surface area for the sealant to bond with the foam and hull.
