Lightweight and high-strength composite solutions to optimise vehicles and mobile equipment
In the transport sector, weight reduction and improved structural performance are key priorities. Manufacturers, industrial bodybuilders and equipment suppliers require rigid, durable and moisture-resistant materials capable of reducing vehicle weight while providing high mechanical strength.
Nidaplast® polypropylene honeycomb cores fully meet these requirements thanks to their unique combination of:
- Ultra-low density (≈ 65 kg/m³) to increase payload capacity
- High compressive and puncture resistance, ideal for flooring applications
- Complete rot resistance, even in humid environments
- High stiffness in sandwich structures, with optimised resin/fibre consumption
- Lower vehicle energy consumption thanks to overall weight savings
