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’s 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.
