Lightweight, rigid and durable composite solutions for one-piece pools, spas and container pools
In pool manufacturing, mechanical stresses, ground movement and humid environments require rigid, stable and rot-proof materials capable of improving the structural integrity of the basin while simplifying production.
Nidaplast® polypropylene honeycomb cores perfectly meet these requirements thanks to a proven combination of:
- Extremely low weight – facilitates transport and installation of pool shells
- High stiffness – reduces deformation of the bottom and vertical walls
- Moisture resistance – reliable in aquatic environments
- Excellent compatibility with polyester, epoxy and vinylester processes
- Thermoformability of polypropylene – ideal for bonding, shaping and curved geometries
Possible Applications in Pool Manufacturing
Polyester one-piece pools
Bottom reinforcement to prevent deformation caused by ground movement
Stiffening of vertical walls
Local reinforcements:
integrated steps, submerged decks, paddling or shallow areas
Spas and mini-pools
Stabilisation of compact shells
Increased stiffness while maintaining global flexibility
Stable support for reinforcement under the tub
Container pools
Interior lining of metal walls with flat and dimensionally stable panels (nidapan 8GR600)
Creation of a smooth, uniform surface ready to receive waterproofing (gelcoat, membrane, tiles, etc.)
Movable floors
Structural support for submerged movable platforms
Flexural strength adapted to lifting and translation mechanisms
Direct bonding of final finishes: porcelain stoneware, composite tiles, etc
