Nidaplast, innovation and performance Having made its name in the Composites Market since 1984, Nidaplast designs, manufactures and markets a wide range of multi-functional honeycomb core materials for demanding industrial applications. Nidaplast composites demonstrates its capacity for innovation and develops lightweight and structural sandwich panels, based on nidaplast honeycombs, and used for everyday applications in a broad spread of sectors : building, transportation, marine, equipments... Induplast integrates the Etex group The first extruded polypropylene honeycomb is launched by...

This invention aimed to open up to a wider audience, a technology that was already known in the aviation industry: the honeycombs used in the core of structural panels. Thermoplastic honeycomb was created by combining a material (plastic) and a structure (honeycomb) as part of an innovative research programme in the 1980s, in order to obtain durable and very light materials. The real designer of the PP honeycomb In order to create a product which is both highly durable and very light in weight, nidaplast developed an extrusion process which made it possible to produce large quantities of...

Our engineers can help you choose the right material for your application and define the...

HONEYCOMB IMPLEMENTATION Contact or spray lamination Nidaplast core is well suited for the production of sandwich parts in hand lay-up or spray lay-up molding. The polyester non-woven is strongly heat welded onto the cells of the honeycomb and ensures a high level of adhesion with most types of thermoset resins. Considering the many different resin formulations and variations in process, it is recommended to check the compatibility with Nidaplast. Refer to the implementation requirements for further details RTM or infusion Nidaplast® 8R and 8RI are specific products that have been developed...

The honeycomb can also be used as a core for the production of glued sandwich panels. The honeycomb is covered on both sides by a PP film and a Polyester non-woven. This surface allows a perfect bonding with most kind of structural adhesives (Polyurethane, Epoxy, MS polymer...) or hot melt adhesive films. The application of glues can be carried out by glue roller (manual or industrial). Almost all materials can be glued on nidaplast honeycomb (Metals, wood, laminates, minerals...) The use of a sandwich structure optimises the weight/ rigidity ratio, making it an ideal solution in many...
