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.
OCP-Inspired Liquid Cooling
ZITREC® EC 20 is a PG25 direct-to-chip liquid cooling solution developed for modern data center applications. It is designed in line with OCP-inspired™ requirements and supports efficient and reliable thermal management in high-performance environments.
It follows the PG25 reference used across the industry and is listed on the OCP Marketplace, further confirming its alignment with current data center cooling standards.
Key benefits of the ZITREC® EC liquid coolant range
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. Also available in low-carbon ECO version.

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 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.
