Yes, as a designed application it can be used for floating platforms. It has many applications that are currently in use for very large structures (Golf course, resorts, etc.) There is a presentation from Koen Olthuis at Tedx Warwick on the applications his firm is pursuing.

Why does something sink or float according to buoyancy?
Density (mass x volume) of the object. If the object is less dense (helium in air, or foam in water) than the fluid in which it is placed, it will float. Likewise, if the object is more dense (lead in water, or water in air), it will sink.
Does styrofoam sink or float?
it would sink(DrStrong) The answer above may be correct, or the object might float. It depends on the density of the container. If the container is a foam cooler filled with water, it's going to be floating. That's because the weight of matter contained within the outer surface of the foam cooler will be slightly less than the weight of water of the same volume. You can call that a gross density if you wish. However, if the container was made of iron, then there is no way it will float if it is completely filled with water, since the gross density will be greater than that of water.See Archimedes Principle.
Does Polypropylene float?
Expanded polystyrene will initially float on top of the water's surface, but if in permanent contact with water it has a tendency to absorb water very slowly (over a period of weeks) until it becomes waterlogged, at which time it may either float just at the surface or slowly sink.
Charlie is testing whether thing swim sink or float he put a plastic-foam board in the water predict whether the board will sink or float.explain your reasoning put a plastic-foam?
Water has a density of about 1.0, knowing this you can tell if an object will sink or float by calculating the objects density.
