Design a different world If you can imagine it, we can probably help you build it. Diab’s high-performance solutions can take your products to a higher level of competitiveness by making them stronger, lighter and smarter. Combining advanced sandwich composite materials, tailored kits, a wide range of finishing options and a comprehensive range of engineering services, we make it possible for you to develop your wildest construction dreams in a cost-efficient and environmentally sustainable way.

The ultimate building material The volume and number of applications of composite materials are growing steadily, continuously penetrating new markets. Lighter than concrete, steel, aluminium and bricks, composite materials provide great weight reductions while maintaining strength. They combine full design freedom with exceptional durability. Plus they are actually more environmentally sustainable than conventional building materials. Lightness and strength Who says a strong structure has to be heavy? Engineering dreams can meet harsh reality without any compromises. Sandwich composites...

This is how it works Generally, a sandwich composite consists of two high-strength skins or facings separated by a core material. The skins take up the bending stresses and give the structure a hardwearing surface. Diab’s lightweight core material absorbs the shear stresses generated by loads, distributing them evenly over a larger area.
