Data center liquid coolants
ZITREC® EC - more than PG25
ZITREC® EC direct-to-chip coolants are designed for modern data centers operating under increasing thermal loads. They deliver reliable heat transfer and long-term system protection in high-density server environments.
Why liquid cooling is becoming essential in modern data centers
The growth of AI and high-performance computing (HPC) is increasing the thermal demands on modern data centers. As CPUs and GPUs continue to become more powerful, chip power and heat output increase accordingly, making thermal management a growing challenge.
Traditional air-cooling infrastructure was not designed for this level of heat density. To address this, direct-to-chip cooling removes heat directly from CPUs and GPUs, making it a more efficient way to manage rising thermal loads in high-density server environments. This approach enables faster heat removal, improved system reliability and lower power usage effectiveness (PUE). The ZITREC® EC range was developed specifically for these next-generation cooling demands.
ZITREC® EC: direct-to-chip liquid coolants for modern data centers
Modern data-center liquid cooling places high demands on coolant performance. ZITREC® EC was developed specifically for Direct-to-Chip (DTC) applications with high thermal loads. The range is available in propylene glycol (PG), ethylene glycol (EG) and fully water-based formulations. It combines efficient heat transfer, patented Organic Additive Technology (OAT), system compatibility and reliable performance under demanding conditions.

Choosing the right coolant formulation
The ZITREC® EC range offers multiple coolant formulations for different direct-to-chip cooling requirements. Built on patented Organic Additive Technology (OAT), it delivers corrosion protection, material compatibility and reliable thermal performance for modern data center cooling systems.
ZITREC® EC more than PG25
Our ZITREC® EC 20 product fits the standard drafted around PG25 (propylene glycol 25) reference for direct-to-chip liquid cooling as used throughout the industry. Our offering embodies multiple facets that highlight the diverse strengths and values of our product range and services for data centers.
"More than PG25" isn’t just a tagline. It reflects how we support engineers, system architects and thermal designers with deeper thinking, broader solutions and long-term commitment focused on better, more sustainable solutions for the future.
ZITREC EC ECO: reduced carbon footprint, same trusted performance
The ZITREC® EC range is also available in an ECO version with a reduced Product Carbon Footprint (PCF). The ECO version uses base fluids derived from bio-based or recycled raw materials, allocated through a certified mass balance approach.
This approach allows renewable or recycled feedstocks to be used in production with full traceability through ISCC PLUS certification.
ZITREC® EC ECO delivers the same trusted cooling performance, system compatibility and operational reliability as the standard formulation, with the added benefit of a reduced PCF.
