Marine Industry
Thanks to its physical and chemical properties, polypropylene is
resistant to water and will not absorb it. For this reason Nida-Core honeycomb
materials are ideal for numerous areas of industry such as:
- Boat-construction: hull, deck, flybridge, sole, door, stringer, hatch,
interior. Thousands of boats are built every year using
Nida-Core Structural Honeycomb. Nida-Core's tough and rot-proof
core will result in stronger and more durable
structural boat parts; in addition, as compared to foam,
balsa wood, or paper honeycomb, the
boat became much quieter than before due to its inherent best in
the business sound and vibration dampening
qualities.
- Equipment specific to marine construction, such as floating docks.
- Swimming pool construction, either for the swimming pool itself
(used for this purpose, our honeycomb materials add
thermal insulation
characteristics to maintain the water temperature) or for accessory
elements like staircases or annex premises.
- Features connected with sanitary arrangements, like shower tubs
or bathroom fittings in general; in this case honeycomb materials
can be used with polyester skins or Formica as well as with marble
or many other types of solid surface skins.
- Fish farm filtration ( using 18" thick Nida-Core
unscrimmed blocks)
