NT E CIH NDI CAA L PS E LR V IAC E SS T To save time and to be in support of projects, we help our customers in their technical approach :
• Nidaplast composites shares itsyears of experience to provide support in the structural pre-dimensioning of your composite elements. Our engineers are all well-seasoned in dimensioning, drawing on both analytical and numerical methods for composite structures. Our engineers carry out the pre-dimensioning of structural sandwich elements using powerful finished products.
The right structural core for wind turbines applications
• Thanks to a high-performance laboratory, our engineers help your design team select the right sandwich composite materials for your applications and approve the mechanical resistance on specific testing machinery.
• Our engineers are seasoned in the use of nidaplast products in the main manufacturing techniques such as hand lay-up, spray lay-up, resin transfer moulding and infusion. We work closely with your design and production teams to manufacture the first prototype, and to optimise production costs and tailor our offer to your requirements.
The information provided herein can be used as a guide for use of the product, but must not be considered to guarantee proper installation. Moreover, the application, use and/or processing of products are beyond our control, and consequently the installer, user and/or processor will be fully responsible for this work.
2000
As a leader and benchmark player, nidaplast has been innovating in the field of sustainable development. Being lightweight, products require little energy and raw material during manufacture. They are designed to make lightweight structural sandwich panels resulting in fewer CO2 emissions during use, for example in the haulage sector. Nidaplast is fully committed to this environmental approach and is ISO 14001 certified.
