The honeycombs structural core for lighter structures
The honeycombs structural core for lighter structures
Nidaplast composites is a pioneer in the development of extruded polypropylene honeycomb cores, which are integral to creating lightweight and high-performance sandwich structures. These structures are widely used in various industries, including transport, yachting, building, wind turbines, leisure and sport, industrial goods, and light stone.
Applications
The honeycomb cores are utilized in the production of partitions, roofs, rear doors, side panels, cabin panels, and floors for both heavy and light vehicles. They are compatible with special vehicles such as trailers, vans, caravans, and medical vehicles like ambulances and fire engines.
Advantages
The honeycomb cores offer several benefits, including reduced weight, ease of implementation, resistance to water, corrosion, and bacteria, excellent chemical resistance, and good vibro-acoustic qualities. These features make them an economical solution for the transport industry.
Manufacturing and Processes
Nidaplast employs advanced manufacturing systems for sandwich panels, including lamination and gluing processes. The company offers a range of products such as nidaplast® 8, nidaplast® 8RI, nidaplast® 8R, and nidaplast® 8DB, each designed to prevent resin from filling the cells during the injection process.
Environmental Impact
Nidaplast is committed to eco-design and reducing the environmental impact of its products. The lightweight nature of the honeycomb cores contributes to lower fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, aligning with the company's ISO 14001 certification.
Conclusion
With over 25 years of experience, Nidaplast composites provides comprehensive support from technical studies to final production, ensuring optimized production costs and tailored solutions for the transport industry.
