OCP-Standard Peroxide-Cured Silicone Hoses
Overview:
OCP-standard peroxide-cured silicone hoses are engineered for advanced liquid-cooling and thermal-management systems that demand exceptional cleanliness, flexibility, and stability under thermal stress. Built for Open Compute Project (OCP)–compliant data-center architectures, these hoses deliver consistent performance in direct-to-chip, immersion, and manifold distribution cooling systems. The peroxide-cured formulation enhances chemical integrity and reduces extractables, ensuring long-term coolant compatibility and sustained reliability in high-density electronic environments.
Key Technical Advantages:
Peroxide-Cured Silicone Tube: Provides superior cross-linking for improved mechanical strength, thermal resistance, and reduced volatile residue versus platinum- or sulfur-cured alternatives.
Ultra-Clean Composition: Eliminates zinc and other metallic additives, preventing ion contamination in deionized or dielectric coolant systems.
Broad Thermal Range: Performs reliably from –60 °C to +200 °C (–76 °F to +392 °F), maintaining flexibility and wall integrity under extreme operating conditions.
Excellent Chemical and Ozone Resistance: Maintains material stability in environments exposed to ozone, UV light, and aggressive coolant chemistries.
Low Extractables and Non-Conductive: Ensures coolant purity, protecting sensitive microelectronics and maintaining dielectric performance.
Flame-Resistant and Halogen-Free: Meets or exceeds UL 94 V-0 and VW-1 standards for data-center safety compliance.
Data-Center Application Focus:
Designed to meet the Open Compute Project’s requirements for reliability and serviceability, peroxide-cured silicone hoses are ideal for use in cold-plate loops, coolant distribution units (CDUs), rear-door heat exchangers, and immersion systems. Their high-temperature resilience and low extractables profile make them particularly suitable for next-generation liquid-cooling systems using glycol-water or dielectric fluids. The smooth internal surface promotes efficient coolant flow while minimizing particulate generation and fouling. With long-life durability, broad compatibility, and proven flame performance, OCP-standard peroxide-cured silicone hoses enable data-center operators to achieve sustainable, contamination-free, and thermally stable cooling infrastructures.
