Polypropylene honeycomb core NIDAPLAST® 8

for sandwich panels

Nidaplast polypropylene honeycomb structures with an 8-mm mesh are used for the core of structural sandwich panels. Nidaplast 8 is the standard product in the range suitable for use with contact or spray lamination. The surface coating (polyester non-woven material) enables the lamination or bonding of virtually all types of materials, for use in many different areas: construction, transport, yachting, industrial equipments, sport, recreation, etc Nidaplast 8 holds the 'Maritime approval certificate' issued by DNV. Germanischer Lloyd certificate Large-scale panel : 2500 x 1220 mm Various thicknesses : from 5 to 90 mm Cell size : 8 mm Indicative surface mass for a 20mm panel : 1,5 kg/m2 The polyester non-woven material on the Nidaplast 8 provides an ideal surface for impregnation with thermosetting resins (polyester, epoxy, etc.). Thermo-welding this non-woven material to the honeycomb structure ensures perfect adhesion. The plastic film beneath the non-woven material makes the honeycomb waterproof and limits the amount of resin used. The honeycomb is made of polypropylene, a long-lasting, 100% recyclable material. The honeycomb structure with a 95 % void ratio uses little material while ensuring superior mechanical properties.
