Thermoplastic honeycombwas born from the crossing of a material (plastic) and a structure (honeycomb) as part of an innovative research in the 1980s, in order to obtain resistant and very light materials. This invention aimed to democratize a technology already used in aeronautics: honeycombsused as structural panel cores.

Nidaplastis proud to be at the origin of the integration of this technique to structures such as boating, building, industrial equipment... Todaynidaplasthas a return of several million m2 of products sold worldwide and used ascomposite materialforstructural lightweighting.

Very quickly, the polypropylene honeycomb showed significant potential in other areas of application including as blocks or honeycomb panels for rainwater retention, lightened backfill but also to reinforce and stabilize soils.

A concept that has become industrial

In order to constitute a product associating high resistance and low weight, nidaplast developed an extrusion process allowing to produce in an economic way and in great quantity of blocks,modular platesor honeycomb plates. A high-performance production method obtained as early as the mid-1980s. Thus becoming the designer of the realhoneycombextruded in polypropylene,nidaplast honeycombsdoes not stop evolving its concept.
