The combined properties of the material and process provide higher performance and cost efficiency through optimised resin use and strictly controlled glass contents. As compared to lamination techniques, the combination of honeycomb with infusion moulding results in improved mechanical properties through higher glass contents and optimised sandwich properties.

A thermobonded reinforced plastic film makes the honeycomb impermeable to the resin, and resin flow in the mould is optimised through the addition of a specially selected interlaminar flow medium on each side of the honeycomb. This flow medium generally remains within the structure.

Nidaplast composites offers an all-in-one product, the ROVIpan™, combining both polypropylene honeycombs core (nidaplast® 8RI) and two fiberglass skins integrating a net draining, the ROVIFLOW™.
Very well adapted for the manufacturing of large dimensions sandwichs pieces, the ROVIpan™, with a thickness from 5 to 40 millimeters, is well adapted to the infusion process.
