In this joint webinar, Aurora Material Solutions and Intek Plastics will show you how collaboration across the value chain-from polymer compounding to component manufacturing-drives performance, scalability, and speed to market.<\/p>\n<p>Aurora Material Solutions will explore where polymers operate across critical data center infrastructure and how evolving requirements-from flame resistance to thermal performance-are shaping material selection. Attendees will also gain insight into the importance of being &#8220;designed in&#8221; at the component level, where specifications are ultimately defined.<\/p>\n<p>Intek Plastics Group will build on this foundation by showing how material capabilities translate into real components. Through practical examples, they will demonstrate how geometry, processing, and design-for-manufacturing influence final performance-and why material data alone does not guarantee success in application.<\/p>\n<p>Together, Aurora and Intek will highlight how early collaboration between material suppliers, component manufacturers, and OEMs reduces risk, improves manufacturability, and enables optimized solutions before specifications are locked.<\/p>\n\t<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/app.livestorm.co\/ul-5\/from-compound-to-component-material-innovations-powering-ai-data-centers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Watch the Webinar Recording<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4><a href=\"http:\/\/ulprospector.ul.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/AMS-Data_Center_Webinar_071626.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Download Slides<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4><a href=\"http:\/\/ulprospector.ul.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/36882_E_AMS-Data-Center-Brochure_V4.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Download Brochure<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4><a href=\"mailto:&#109;&#107;&#114;&#97;&#118;&#101;&#99;&#64;&#97;&#117;&#114;&#111;&#114;&#97;&#109;&#97;&#116;&#101;&#114;&#105;&#97;&#108;&#115;&#111;&#108;&#117;&#116;&#105;&#111;&#110;&#115;&#46;&#99;&#111;&#109;?subject=From Compound to Component: Material Innovations Powering AI Data Centers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Contact Megan Kravec \/ Ask a Question<\/a><\/h4>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Be notified of upcoming webinars &#62; Presented by Aurora Material Solutions Recorded on July 16, 2026 AI-driven data center growth is accelerating demand for high-performance materials and manufacturable component solutions.
