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.

5M produces aluminum and Al alloys honeycombs for application in sandwich constructions both for internal needs and for customers.
Aluminum honeycombs are used above all as core material in bonded sandwiches in the most demanding applications. They are applied in the following fields:
- Aircraft construction
- Production of rail and road vehicle body parts
- Less demanding applications |
|
Finishes used for Honeycomb Panels are typically ALUMINIUM SHEET, PRE-FINISHED STEEL SHEET, ALUZINC SHEET, PLYWOOD, OSB, GLASS REINFORCED PLASTIC, PVC and STAINLESS STEEL. These facing materials can be used in combinations with different inner and outer to suit application and in a variety of differing gauges and thickness. Honeycomb Panels widths can be manufactured to suit client specification up to 1200 mm with lengths variable to suit materials and or project requirements.
If required we will bond client supplied materials to core thus ensuring identical match to existing or differing type of structures adjacent to area of panel usage.
The combination of cores and faces specified affects the honeycomb panels weights, strength and stiffness greatly and should be selected to ensure the final properties meet the application requirements in terms of panel performance and cost price.

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.

| Faraplan presents FOGLIA VERDE®, a patented covering film suitable for the most varied uses. FOGLIA VERDE® has absolutely innovative features superior to any other sheet on the market. The advantages it offers are self-evident and make FOGLIA VERDE® the most interesting and economical covering films in the sector for professional and hobby use. There are many reasons for choosing FOGLIA VERDE®. First of all its thickness is 0.12mm instead of 0.20 like the other films on the market. This means that for the same weight the surface area is 80% higher than ordinary sheets, giving an obvious saving. Of course its low thickness also means a lower use of raw material and therefore lower impact on disposal and greater environmental protection as a result. Another important feature of FOGLIA VERDE® is its exceptional mechanical resistance to tearing and long life, confirmed by laboratory tests. Despite its low thickness, the strength of FOGLIA VERDE® is greater than that of other sheets and up to three times higher than the standards envisaged by UNI 9298. This means that FOGLIA VERDE® carries out its job for a long time and without problems. |

Silicone rubber is physiologically inert, thus making it the preferred choice of medical, pharmaceutical and food processing industries. Silicone have comparatively low mechanical properties, tensile strength, elongating and tear strength, however they keep constant even at high temperatures but should not be used with high pressure steam. Its resistance to oil and hydrocarbon products is fairly limited and similar to that of Chloroprene rubbers. Reasonable resistance to to a whole range of general chemical products, but acids, alkalis, esters and kerosene should be avoided. Silicone has excellent resistance to heat (dry air), at +200°C intermittent. It remain flexible at low temperatures of -70°C and it is also resistant to ultra-violet light, Ozone and weathering. Exhibits low inflammability and low smoke toxicity. It has good electrical insulation properties.
Zenith manufactures numerous types of silicone compounds for various applications.
