WILMINGTON, Del., May 9, 2025 /3BL/ - Recently, Chemours, a global chemistry company, announced a strategic agreement with Navin Fluorine International Limited (Navin Fluorine) to manufacture its Opteon™ two-phase immersion cooling fluid. The collaboration is part of Chemours' expanded Liquid Cooling Venture, established to address the growing heat, energy, and water demands of advanced data centers and AI hardware. The partnership with Navin Fluorine marks an important step toward commercialization, providing critical capabilities and capacity—beginning in 2026—to support the adoption of two-phase liquid cooling.

"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.” 

The company’s proprietary Opteon™ fluid offers an ultra-low global warming potential (10), a power usage effectiveness (PUE) approaching 1, and superior performance capabilities compared to traditional or other liquid cooling technologies. Nearly eliminating water use, reducing space requirements by 60%, and lowering energy consumption by up to 40% and cooling energy use by up to 90%, this technology represents benefits for data center operators and communities alike. 

The agreement with Navin Fluorine will bring this innovative technology to market quickly and efficiently. 

"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.”

The Opteon™ two-phase immersion cooling fluid is part of Chemours’ newly expanded Liquid Cooling Venture, which will leverage more than 90-years of expertise in thermal management to provide a comprehensive portfolio of data center cooling solutions, including direct-to-chip and immersion cooling technologies.
