Diab

Diab produces high-performance structural core materials engineered to maximize strength while keeping weight, manufacturing costs, and environmental impact low.

High strength-to-weight ratios support higher speeds, extended ranges, larger payload capacities, and lower power requirements. Outstanding fatigue resistance and slamming performance make these materials suitable for specialized hulls operating in rough seas.

In motorboat construction, core materials from Diab reduce structural weight without sacrificing rigidity or durability. Applications cover hulls, decks, engine beds, transoms, interiors, bulkheads, and superstructures. The closed-cell structure prevents water absorption, while high impact resistance and damage tolerance extend overall service life.

The materials are easily formed and machined, featuring low resin uptake and options compatible with prepreg processing to achieve clean finishes on custom and series models.

For sailing yachts, whether designed for racing or cruising, weight reduction directly improves performance and handling. Diab supplies materials tailored for hulls, decks, keels, bulkheads, interiors, and rudders. These structural cores maintain stiffness under dynamic loads while accommodating complex geometries and refined surface aesthetics.

Beyond raw core materials, the company offers advanced kitting solutions alongside structural engineering services and technical application training. Precision-cut kits fit directly into moulds, which saves labor time at the yard, minimizes waste, and optimizes resin consumption.

Fossil-free material options and optimized kitting reduce the total carbon footprint throughout the manufacturing process.
