WILMINGTON, DE — The Chemours Company (NYSE: CC) has entered a strategic agreement with Navin Fluorine International Limited (NSE: NAVINFLUOR) to manufacture Opteon™ two-phase immersion cooling fluid. This collaboration forms part of Chemours’ Liquid Cooling Venture, aimed at addressing the escalating energy, water, and heat management needs of advanced data centers and AI hardware.
The partnership will expedite the commercialization of Opteon™ fluids, with production set to commence in 2026. The proprietary liquid cooling solution is engineered to meet the demands of next-generation computing technology while delivering significant resource efficiency.
“The fact is, next generation chips alone can’t deliver the AI boom; the computing and resource demands created by this technology requires a new, integrated approach. Our deep expertise in cooling uniquely positions us to help bridge this gap,” said Denise Dignam, Chemours President and CEO. “Innovative liquid cooling solutions, like Opteon™, can help significantly reduce data center total cost of ownership through decreased energy, water, space, maintenance and capex demands, all while enabling next generation chip capability. Partnering with Navin Fluorine enables us to meet this critical market need.”
Opteon™ cooling fluid delivers an ultra-low global warming potential of 10 and achieves superior performance with a power usage effectiveness (PUE) nearing 1. Its benefits include nearly eliminating water usage, reducing energy consumption for cooling by 90%, and shrinking spatial requirements by 60%. These efficiencies reduce total costs for data center operators while also supporting community-level resource conservation efforts.
Navin Fluorine International, known for its focus on sustainable specialty chemicals, will provide key manufacturing capabilities to scale the global adoption of this technology.
“Joining forces with Chemours to manufacture their new liquid cooling technology advances our mission to produce high-quality, innovative, and sustainable, high-growth-potential products in the specialty chemicals sector, while helping address a key industry challenge for data centers,” said Vishad Mafatlal, Navin Fluorine Executive Chairman. “We’re excited to see this project come to fruition and look forward to continuing to deepen our partnership to meet the needs of the broader industry.”
This partnership underscores Chemours’ commitment to driving sustainable innovation while equipping the tech sector with advanced solutions to meet the increasing demands of AI and high-performance computing.
