Diolen as sole structural material?

So, I am wondering would Diolen serve as structural material if properly boxed or with core material. The reason here is purely from cost point of view. The planned part would be under torsion, a bit like a wall tv mount but less weight, maybe a kilo, some 20-30cm from the attachment point. The possible torsion and as a result change of angle would not be a good thing in this case. I know CF would do the trick, just trying to figure out whether Diolen would serve as it's considerably cheaper.

Thank you in advance.
