The combinations of polymer resin and glass microballoon are the main materials used to produce syntactic foams. Syntactic foam is a lightweight material that has good mechanical properties and is commonly used as a component for structural materials in civil construction, aerospace and marine applications. Hence, it should have suitable mechanical properties, particularly good compression behaviour. In the present study, the results obtained from compression tests are compressive strength, elastic modulus and specific compression that decrease when increasing of glass microballoon contents (2.0 wt.%, 4.0 wt.%, 6.0 wt.%, 8.0 wt.% and 10.0 wt.%) and also neat resin. The highest strength value for compression testing is owned by 2.0 wt.% which is 88.9 MPa, while the lowest strength is 43 MPa that belongs to 10.0 wt.% of glass microballoon. This shows that the density and weight percentage of glass microballoon in these syntactic foams affect compression properties. Therefore, a further study should be conducted, which includes the effect of compressive failure mechanism.
