Roxtec Products for Data Centers
Data centers and server halls house critical communication infrastructure and must withstand both fire and water. Still, extreme weather events and flooding cause outages worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. Select purpose-built sealing solutions – and save your cloud from drowning.
Roxtec safety seals for cable and pipe penetrations secure cutting-edge data centers and server halls worldwide against fire, water ingress, and air leakage. Downtime is costly and has no option when continuous service is required for critical functions throughout society.
Harden Your Data Center:
We offer a long-term
partnership to harden your data centers and server halls against
multiple risks. By providing smart and certified sealing solutions,
we help you ensure safety and efficiency during the construction
phase and throughout the lifecycle of your facility. The seals are
easy to design in and install – and they cover all sealing needs and
requirements. That is why so many designers, construction companies
and operators of data centers standardize with the Roxtec sealing
system.
Enable Efficient Energy Use:
Our airtight seals provide
excellent possibilities for a sustainable use of air-conditioning
and cooling systems. You can control the facility climate and
temperature, eliminate risks for sensitive equipment and reduce your
energy costs while securing reliable operation and business
continuity.
Expand While Operating:
Our openable and adaptable
seals are perfect for scalable and growing modular or containerized
data centers. Thanks to the built-in spare capacity for additional
cables and pipes, you can easily handle last-minute design changes
or increased server density. You can even perform retrofit work
without having to shut down any services or add any material costs.
Why use Roxtec?
- Certified protection against fire and flooding
- Airtight for climate control and energy savings
- Quick and easy to design in and install
- Ideal as standard solution for all facilities
- Built-in spare capacity for additional cables
Application Areas
Exterior Penetrations:
Power and fiber cable
entries into the exterior building envelope are common applications
for purpose-designed seals. Without properly engineered solutions,
these entries become an ingress point for water, resulting is a risk
of damaging equipment or increasing humidity levels. In addition to
sealing against water, these applications often need to meet fire
requirements to reinstate the fire integrity of the structure.
Roxtec seals meet these requirements while allowing future cable
changes.
Underground Power and Fiber Pits/Vaults:
Underground power distribution and fiber networks in data
centers must be protected against the constant threat of water.
Every cable pit/vault or hand box represents a possible leak path
and is a risk for the entire infrastructure. Our seals for
underground use are ideal for sealing around power cables in duct
banks, vaults and hand boxes.
Power Distribution:
Securing power supply and power distribution in data centers
is critical for maintaining uptime. Seal cable bus and conduits,
switchgear, generators and transformers to avoid equipment failure
due to water ingress. In critical areas, Roxtec seals can also be
used to prevent fire.
Rooftops:
When HVAC, ventilation and air conditioning, equipment is
located on rooftops, it can be a challenge to protect penetrations.
Use the smart Roxtec Swan Neck seals to maintain water-tightness and
prevent water infiltration, or install our Roxtec GH transits to
ensure water-tightness in horizontal installations.
Mechanical Piping:
HVAC piping and ductwork penetrations must be protected
against multiple hazards. Depending on location, these penetrations
need to be watertight, airtight and protected against fire. Roxtec
seals can secure HVAC service entries against all of these hazards.
Roxtec can also provide seals for large diameter openings, which can
be challenging to seal using other methods.

Data Hall:
Increase existing cooling capacity and improve efficiency by
sealing under raised floors or inside data halls with Roxtec seals.
Our solutions provide air-tightness to reduce bypass airflow and
increase cooling efficiency. According to airflow analysis, energy
consumption is lower and power user efficiency better. Roxtec seals
also provide an extra security measure by preventing easy
pass-through of digital media between secure areas.
