The DIAB sandwich concept is one of the best ways to reduce weight whether it is used for structural members or interior paneling. But this is just the first step in the weight saving spiral. The DIAB sandwich concept also inherently increases stiffness and provides excellent sound and thermal insulation properties thus eliminating the need for subsidiary materials. This further weight reduction results in even lower energy consumption and consequently a much lower environmental impact.

This saving in weight can be used in a wide variety of ways including:
• Higher speeds
• Longer range
• Better fuel economy
• Larger payloads

In addition DIAB sandwich composites require the minimum of maintenance and repairs can often be carried out easily without any loss of structural integrity.
