GRP Grating & Cable Management for Data Centres
Zinc whiskers pose a recognised risk to IT hardware reliability.
Hot-dip galvanised and plated metal surfaces are known contributors.
Treadwell GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) systems eliminate metallic zinc surfaces entirely.
Key Advantages:
- No zinc = no whisker formation
- Non-conductive for reduced electrical risk
- Corrosion-resistant under HVAC humidity cycles
Key Moments
- 0:04 🖥️ Data centres are crucial for technology operations, hosting virtualised IT infrastructure for multiple users.
- 0:33 ⚠️ Hot dipped galvanized materials, while preventing corrosion, generate zinc whiskers that can hinder data centre functionality.
- 01:02 🔧 Zinc whiskers are small, dangerous filaments that can cause short circuits and equipment failures in data centres.
- 01:11 🌍 Treadwell Glass Reinforced Plastic grating is recommended to mitigate the risks associated with zinc whiskers and corrosion.
Why Choose Treadwell
- GRP trusted in industrial, defence, rail & infrastructure
- Consultation and design support
- Reduced lifecycle cost vs coated metals
