Viton™ Fluoroelastomers (FKM) for AI Data Center Reliability

Why Choose Viton™ Fluoroelastomers (FKM) for AI Data Centers 

 

Thermal Stability for High-Performance Environments 

AI data centers generate substantial heat due to high-density computing. Viton™ fluoroelastomers exhibit outstanding thermal resistance, maintaining their sealing and elasticity properties at continuous temperatures up to 204°C (399°F) and withstanding excursions up to 315°C (599°F). This thermal stability ensures that seals, gaskets, and O-rings remain effective, reducing the risk of thermal degradation and system failures.  

Chemical Resistance for Diverse Cooling Systems 

Modern data centers employ various cooling methods, including liquid cooling systems that utilize aggressive fluids. Viton™ fluoroelastomers demonstrate broad chemical compatibility, resisting degradation from coolants, hydrocarbons, dielectric fluids, lubricants, and other harsh chemicals commonly found in data center environments. Chemical resistance extends the lifespan of critical components and minimizes maintenance requirements. 

 

 

Applications

Cooling System Components 

 

AI data servers operate extremely hot, so liquid or immersion cooling systems are vital to maintain computing integrity. Viton™ FKM are used in the following: 
 

  • Seals and O-rings in liquid-cooled cold plates and manifolds 

  • O-rings, gaskets, quick-connect seals, pump diaphragms 

  • Gaskets in heat exchangers, chillers, and closed-loop systems 

  • Tubing connectors and valves exposed to glycol–water mixtures or dielectric coolants 

  • Pump housings and mechanical seals where coolant exposure and high temperatures are constant

Power Distribution Units (PDUs) and UPS Systems 

 

Viton™ is essential in backup power infrastructure where exposure to lubricants, fuels, and heat occurs. 
 

  • Gaskets and seals in generator enclosures and battery systems 

  • Diaphragms and isolators for fuel systems in diesel generators 

  • Bushings and cable seals in electrical enclosures to prevent ingress of dust, moisture, and coolant 

  • Generator gaskets, fuel system seals, and battery housing grommets 

Environmental and HVAC Systems

 

Data center infrastructure requires maintaining optimal airflow and contamination control. 
 

  • Seals for ducting systems and environmental enclosures 

  • Elastomeric vibration isolators for equipment racks and floor systems 

  • Duct seals, vibration isolators, and weatherproof enclosures 

  • Expansion joints and weatherproof gaskets for outdoor cooling towers 

Server and Rack Components

 

Even at the microlevel, Viton™ can be used in the following: 
 

  • Enclosure door seals for thermal insulation 

  • Fire-suppression system valves and tubing seals (especially for systems using chemical agents) 

  • Elastomeric seals resistant to fluorinated and hydrocarbon fluids 

  • Rack enclosures, EMI shielding gaskets, connector seals, cable penetrations, and equipment seals
