Summary
This page features Subzero’s Dissolvable Air Barrier Panels (DAB Panels) product overview video, highlighting how the solution delivers effective airflow containment while enhancing fire safety. The content explains how DAB Panels dissolve during sprinkler activation, support Class A fire performance, adapt easily to real-world data center environments, and integrate into Subzero’s turnkey containment solutions.
Subzero’s Dissolvable Air Barrier Panels (DAB Panels) deliver effective airflow containment while addressing a critical safety challenge in traditional overhead containment systems. Designed to maintain airflow separation during normal operation—and dissolve within seconds during sprinkler activation—DAB Panels help improve data center efficiency without introducing falling panel hazards during fire suppression events.
Why DAB Panels
In mission-critical environments, containment solutions must balance performance, safety, and adaptability. Traditional rigid panels can obstruct sprinkler systems or create hazards when displaced. DAB Panels were engineered to work with fire suppression systems—providing containment when needed and dissolving cleanly when safety takes priority.
Key Benefits:
- Dissolvable by Design
Provides airflow separation during operation, then dissolves rapidly when exposed to water during sprinkler activation. - Safety-Driven Materials
Made from EPA-certified, plant-based cellulose materials—non-petroleum based and Class A fire rated. - Fire & Smoke Performance
Low heat, low smoke, and controlled burn behavior help preserve visibility for emergency personnel. - Durable in Operation
Withstands high static air pressure and maintains shape under normal operating conditions. - Flexible Installation
Lightweight, field-cuttable panels adapt easily to varying cabinet heights, infrastructure, and containment layouts—without relocating sprinkler heads. - Enhanced Strobe Visibility
Panel material diffuses fire alarm strobes, improving visual alerting throughout the containment space.
Designed for Real-World Data Centers
DAB Panels install quickly in both new builds and retrofit environments. Panels can be modified onsite to fit around cable trays, piping, and other overhead infrastructure, allowing full containment coverage to the ceiling while reducing installation time and cost.
