End Grain Balsa, a highly processed ultra light wood product, imparts impressive strength and stiffness to the sandwich panel. The end grain configuration of balsa provides high resistance to crushing, and is very difficult to tear apart. End grain balsa cored panels also have the ability to handle excessive dynamic loads with high resistance to fatigue. Until recently, end grain balsa was excluded from some weight sensitive applications, as there were lower density foam cores available. Now, through controlled growing and careful selection, BalsaLite balsa wood is competitive in weight, as well as offering superior performance in stiffness and strength, particularly where local crushing or bruising is a concern.
Nida-Core is a proud BalsaLite balsa wood supplier. BalsaLite is select quality, kiln-dried, end-grain balsa wood suitable as a structural core material in composite sandwich construction. BalsaLite balsa wood is a naturally renewable resource. The balsa plant (Ochroma lagopus) grows from seedling to mature balsa tree in 4-6 years and reaches heights up to 25 m (90 ft) before dying in 8-10 years.

LIGHT WEIGHT
Nature provides the geometry, we provide the honeycomb composite material. Nida-Core is extruded from tough, versatile polypropylene plastic. (Other materials are available). Thermo fused to the honeycomb cells are non-woven polyester bonding scrims with a polypropylene barrier film to limit resin consumption. When encapsulated in a laminate it is recognized by the US Coast Guard as a primary flotation material in small boats.
ROT PROOF
PVC and SAN Foams are attacked by styrene and absorb water when exposed, plywood and balsa rot or lose strength when wet. Nida-Core does NOT rot and is unaffected by most solvents and chemical agents. Additionally, when encapsulated in a laminate using a non-aqueous resin the scrim forms a seal limiting water migration through the structure, even if skin is punctured.
EXCELLENT BOND
The cell walls are fused into the non-woven polyester scrim. That coupled with the scrim's affinity for virtually any resin or adhesive system provides exceptional bond and peel strength.
IMPACT RESISTANCE
There are many cores that can make a light, stiff structure. Nida-Core, however, combines the light weight and stiffness of honeycomb with tough polypropylene plus superior bonding properties due to the thermo fused scrim. The combination allows Nida-Core to absorb and dissipate impacts and shocks repeatedly that would cause ultimate catastrophic failure in other core materials.
