Product Information
Products Nidaplast 8FR
Cell size 8 mm hexagonal meshes
Material Polypropylene with halogen-free flame retardant
Coating on both sides Polypropylene film 50 μm
Polyester non-woven 45 g / m²
Fire properties Depending on the skin used, possibility of M1 / F0 classification of the finished sandwich panel
Chemical resistance Excellent resistance to water **, most acids, bases and salt solutions
UV resistance The longevity in storage of the core is guaranteed by an anti-UV. UV protection of the finished product is ensured by the skins of the sandwich panel.
Impact resistance Enhanced by the use of PP copolymer
Thermal resistance of the honeycomb core th. 20mm R = 0.3 m². ° C / W
(i.e. λ = 0.067 W / (m. ° C))
Thermal resistance of the honeycomb core th. 90mm R = 0.6 m². ° C / W
i.e. λ = 0.14 W / (m. ° C))
