Each NidaFoam board is marked with DOM and specifications particular to batch. Scrimming and scoring, including grid pattern for infusion laminar resin transfer is available with NidaFoam. Please note the consistency of perforations and alignment with grid pattern. Composite wind blade industry is especially suitable for NidaFoam due to its high process temperature, excellent fatigue resistance and availability.

Thermoformability: NidaFoam sheets can be thermoformed. The white color of the NidaFoam is easy to recognize and distinguish from other available foams. The white color transfers less to the composite part surface, resulting in less gelcoat usage.   Chemical resistance and corrosive gases: Good resistance against weak bases, weak acids as well as against most current solvents : alcohol - acetone - perchlorethylene. Limited resistance - check in each case - against strong mineral acids. NidaFoam does not emit any corrosive gases, even when burned, unlike PVC foam. NidaFoam does not emit gases that contain halogen such as hydrochloric acid.   Water and resin absorption: Excellent closed cell ratio, comparable to PU, SAN and PVC foam.   Certifications: NidaFoam has been awarded FST M1 spec burn certificate. Other industry specific certifications are pending and available upon request. Independent laboratory structural testing results available. Check www.nida-core.com for periodic updates.
