Battery Pack
PolyPro FR® is a flame-retardant insulation for battery packs. It provides dielectric protection at a low profile to prevent surges and arcing between the pack and module even at high temperatures.
Applications
- Battery Pack Liners
- Busbar Insulation
- BMS Insulation
Battery Charger
Power Systems with a DC and AC battery charger require flexible insulation to prevent surges and arching. PolyPro FR® is a flame-retardant solution to help the unit run as efficiently as possible.
Applications
- Power Supply Insulation
- Battery Insulation
- Enclosure Insulation
DATA CENTER & TELECOMMUNICATION APPLICATIONS
The Gund Company understands the importance of airflow management in a data center. While proper airflow is essential for equipment functionality, it is also one of the easiest ways to reduce energy costs associated with running a data center.
PolyPro FR® material composition makes it an excellent choice for airflow management applications such as blanking panels and air baffles. PolyPro FR® can also be used for cable tray liners and holders, preventing cables from tangling or snagging in a cable tray.
Cable Tray Liners
- Easy to install
- Reduces cable snagging, prevents cable tangling
- Blocks unsightly views or cables
