Power, Fuel & Cable Management
Reliable power and communications are fundamental to continuous data center operation.
ALTA Performance Materials provides non-conductive, fire-retardant, lightweight and corrosion-resistant resin systems for composite cable management, electrical enclosures, equipment housings and underground backup fuel tanks.
Thes materials help fabricators and specifiers address installation weight, corrosion, electrical insulation, grounding complexity and maintenance requirements while protecting mission-critical power and communications infrastructure.

Data Centers depend on uninterrupted power and communications.
ALTA Performance Materials provides non-conductive, fire-retardant and corrosion-resistant resin systems for composite cable trays, electrical enclosures, equipment housings and underground backup fuel tanks where electrical insulation, durability, fire performance and long-term protection matter.
Power and communications infrastructure must protect critical systems while managing the demands of installation weight, conductivity, corrosion and maintenance.
ALTA Performance Materials provides fire-retardant unsaturated polyester and corrosion-resistant vinyl ester resin systems that enable durable composite infrastructure for demanding indoor, outdoor, and below-ground environments. These systems help protect mission-critical equipment from humidity, condensation, chemicals, corrosion and weathering while supporting long-term reliable long-term performance.
Backup Fuel Infrastructure
Backup fuel systems provide essential resilience when grid power is uninterrupted.
Proven DERAKANE® vinyl ester systems are used in UL 1316-listed fiberglass underground storage tanks that support the backup-fuel supply required to keep data centers operating during grid interruptions. Composite tanks provide durable, corrosion-resistant containment without the rust and external corrosion risks associated with steel.

Cable Trays and Cable Management
Power and communications cabling must be routed safely and reliably throughout the facility.
Fire-retardant unsaturated polyester resins (UPR) systems support lightweight, non-conductive cable trays and cable-management components used to route power and communications throughout the facility. Compared with metal, composite construction can reduce installation weight and corrosion-related maintenance and where appropriate to the electrical design, reduce grounding requirements.

Electrical Enclosures and Equipment Housings
Electrical and communications equipment requires protection from moisture, chemicals and environmental exposure.
ALTA resin systems support corrosion-resistant, electrically insulating composite enclosures and housings designed to protect sensitive equipment in demanding indoor and outdoor environments.
FRP Conduits
Fire-retardant resin systems support lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and non-conductive FRP conduit used to protect power and communications cabling in demanding environments. Composite conduit can reduce grounding requirements and provide long-term resistance to moisture, chemicals, and corrosion
