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.

3-dimensional fibreglass reinforcements, Nida-Fusion STO complexes are composed of a sheet of closed-cells foam covered with a reinforcing fibre layer on each side. These three elements are linked together by fiberglass bridging strands, which go through them obliquely, forming triangulations Truss Network.
For a very competitive price, Nida-Fusion STO complexes allow you to build sandwich constructions offering :
Very good flexural strength,
Excellent fatigue and delaminating resistance,
Good high temperature and fire resistance,
Shaped structures with thickness variations,
Excellent thermal insulation
Nida-Fusion STO is patented and is offered in 2 variations :
Nida-Fusion STO complexes made of rigid foam and used for the production of planar structures without thickness variation,
Nida-Fusion STF complexes made of flexible foam and used for shaped structures with thickness variation..
Nida-Fusion STO complexes can be tailored exactly to your needs (Foam, choice and weight of reinforcements, orientation and spacing of the triangulations), and are made to order.

Water intended for human consumption without imparting any toxic effect is drinking water. Water of sufficient quality to serve as drinking water is termed as potable water whether it is used as such or not. The non-metallic materials can cause changes in water quality when it comes in contact with it.
BS 6920 and its modified version AS/NZS 4020:2002 (for Australian and New Zealand requirements) is the method for testing the water quality –i.e, ‘Testing of products for use in contact with drinking water’ and any non-metallic product should comply with these test requirements for getting the approval given by Water Quality Centre (WQC).
Zenith PWS has been developed for using in contact with drinking water which has been met all the technical and biological property requirements as tested by following the corresponding Standards.
Zenith PWS is a high performance and low specific gravity (1.13) EPDM rubber compound which can be applied for water fitting (supplying) parts e.g., lining, joining, gaskets, membranes, cisterns, O-rings, washers that are used in contact with drinking water.
