High Performance Materials for Data Center Applications

Cool roof coatings for heat reflection

Data centers need roof systems that help reduce heat absorption and lower cooling demand. Kynar Aquatec® PVDF supports long-lasting cool roof performance with high solar reflectance, while Kynar 500® PVDF is used in durable cool metal roofing systems designed to help keep roof surfaces cooler and improve energy efficiency.

Durable weatherable roofs

Roofing materials must also withstand UV exposure, dirt pickup, and weathering over time. Kynar Aquatec® PVDF and Kynar 500® PVDF offer long-term weatherability and durability for roofing applications exposed to demanding outdoor conditions.

Fiber optic cable protection

Data centers rely on high-performance fiber optic networks to maintain fast, stable, and high-speed data transmission. Cable materials must protect sensitive lines while supporting long-term reliability and processability. Kynar® PVDF is well suited for fiber optic cable applications thanks to its chemical resistance, flexibility, and durability.

Power cable jacketing

Power distribution and backup systems in data centers require cable jackets that combine resistance to heat, chemicals, and mechanical stress. Kynar® PVDF is also used in power cable applications, where it helps support protective jacketing with strong durability and reliable performance over time.

Battery cell performance and electrode stability

Backup power and energy storage are increasingly important in data center resilience strategies. As advanced battery technologies become widely adopted, materials must ensure reliable cycling, stability, and consistent performance. Kynar® PVDF is used as a battery cell separator coating and cathode binder, helping support the performance of energy storage components.

Thermal management for battery systems

As energy storage becomes more integrated into data center infrastructure, heat management becomes a key design challenge. Zenimid™ Polyimide Films contributes to battery thermal management solutions where electrical insulation and heat resistance are required to maintain safe and stable operation in high-density environments.

Cooling fluid handling and distribution

Efficient chip cooling in data centers depends on reliable fluid circulation through complex and high-density environments. Tubing, valves, connectors, and internal components must combine chemical resistance, durability, and ease of integration. Rilsan® PA11 supports cooling circuits and quick connectors, offering a unique combination of lightweight performance, durability, and flexibility. Its performance, including flame resistance and compatibility with laser welding, contributes to reliable fluid handling systems, while its bio-based origin supports more sustainable solutions.

Kynar® PVDF brings excellent chemical resistance and long-term reliability in demanding fluid handling environments. Together, these materials help support stable transmission of cooling media across the installation.
