High-performance composite solutions to lighten and reinforce marine constructions
In the marine sector, every kilogram matters. Naval architects and boat builders require materials that are lightweight, stiff and water-resistant, capable of improving vessel performance while simplifying manufacturing processes.
Nidaplast® polypropylene honeycomb cores perfectly meet these requirements thanks to their unique combination of:
- Extremely low weight (≈ 65 kg/m³)
- Excellent compressive strength and skin-to-core bonding
- Fully rot-proof, even in case of water ingress
- Natural acoustic damping for reduced engine noise and vibration
