Solutions for the Data Center Industry
Data centers run 24/7, so materials used around critical infrastructure must support uptime, safe access, and efficient airflow. Performance plastics like polycarbonate and acrylic are a smart fit because they can be machined into precise, durable components that are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and electrically insulating, with options for clear visibility and flame-retardant grades when required. Polycarbonate is widely used where impact resistance and toughness matter, and acrylic is often chosen for optical clarity and visibility panels.
Data Center Applications
Data centers use plastic components well beyond enclosures. Based on common containment and infrastructure needs, Konrady can support applications such as:
-
Machined enclosures and access panels: For monitoring equipment, controls, and facility systems.
-
Rack and cabinet components: Doors, side panels, protective covers, interior partitions.
-
Hot aisle and cold aisle containment components: Clear doors, roof panels, baffle panels, cladding elements.
-
Airflow management parts: Blanking panels, baffles, shrouds, duct transitions, equipment guards.
-
Cable management: Raceways, covers, pass-through plates, grommet blocks, strain-relief panels.
-
Protective barriers and machine guarding: In maintenance areas and staging zones.
-
Observation and inspection windows: For quick visual checks without opening systems.
-
Sensor, camera, and device housings: Where durability and dimensional stability matter.
Benefits of Our Plastic Components
Our engineered plastic components help data center operators and OEMs improve reliability, safety, and serviceability:
Improved cooling efficiency support: Containment and airflow separation reduce hot and cold air mixing, which improves cooling efficiency and can help reduce energy costs.
Impact and shatter resistance: Helps protect equipment and reduce damage risk in high-traffic environments.
Transparency where you need it: Clear panels and windows support visibility and faster inspections.
Electrical insulation and corrosion resistance: Non-metallic options can reduce corrosion concerns and support safe enclosure design.
Lightweight components: Easier handling and faster change-outs during maintenance or retrofits.
Material options for compliance: Flame-retardant grades can be selected to meet UL 94 classifications when required.
Machined-to-print precision: Consistent fit-up for doors, panels, mounts, and enclosures that must install cleanly and repeatably.
