Why Datacenter MRO is Different
Today’s hyperscale and edge data centers pack more compute into every rack, driving heat loads past 50 kW per rack and forcing 24/7 mechanical systems to run on a razorthin margin of error. If coolant fouls, a fan bearing fails, or a compressor seizes, a single breakdown can push outlet temps above ASHRAE limits in minutes—risking downtime that costs up to $9,000 per minute for large operators. The core challenge: keeping critical components cool, clean, sealed, and lubricated without interrupting live traffic. ChemPoint’s specialty portfolio—Krytox™, MOLYKOTE®, DOWFROST™ LC, Anderol®, UCON™, and highperformance plastics additives—equips maintenance teams to meet those demands with fewer interventions and longer mean time between failures.
Core Benefits— Six Ways We Extend Uptime
Ultrastable lubrication for high RPM electronics cooling fans – Krytox™ PFPE greases remain inert, nonflammable, and effective up to 400°C, eliminating carbon buildup and doubling relube intervals in fan and UPS motor bearings.
Dielectric sealing and Oring protection – MOLYKOTE® silicone compounds (e.g., 111) provide high dielectric strength (~320 V mil1) and water resistance, preventing leaks around coldplate fittings, sensor housings, and cable penetrations.
Corrosion free liquid cooling loops – DOWFROST™ LC 25% propylene glycol coolant is purpose formulated for direct-to-chip loops, shielding high surface area copper from pitting while maintaining low electrical conductivity.
Energy efficient compressor and blower oils – Anderol® synthetic diester and esterbased oils survive 10 000 h+ service, shed water, and cut chiller power draw by up to 3%.
Versatile PAG fluids for hydraulics and heat transfer – UCON™ 500 and EHC 846 fluids deliver high oxidative stability and nonflammability for racklift hydraulics, generator platens, and auxiliary cooling skids.
Plastic and elastomer additives for seals, gaskets, and cable management – Specialty ingredients improve chemical resistance, reduce outgassing, and lengthen service life in tighttolerance enclosures.
Applications & Use Cases
Cooling Loops – Direct to chip cold plates and reardoor heat exchangers (DOWFROST™ LC)
Air Handling and Fans – EC fans, CRAH/CRAC units, UPS blowers (Krytox™ GPL/XHT)
Seals, Sensors and Connectors – Orings, valve stems, electrical connectors (MOLYKOTE® and Krytox™ GPL)
Compressors and Vacuum Pumps – Central chillers, drypump systems (Anderol® 500, 1200 N)
Hydraulics and Motion – Rackelevation lifters, bypass control valves (UCON™ fluids)
Enclosure Materials – Cable jackets, wire insulation, gasket materials (plastic and lubricant additives)
