Berliner Boersenzeitung - POLARIS Laboratories Joins the Dow Coolant Care Network as Testing Provider for DOWFROST Heat Transfer Fluids

DOWFROST^™ Heat Transfer Fluids are engineered to support next-generation data center cooling, including direct-to-chip liquid cooling architectures. Formulated with high-purity propylene glycol and advanced inhibitor technology, these fluids enable efficient heat removal, corrosion protection, and long-term operational stability in high-performance computing environments.

To meet thermal demands from Artificial Intelligence (AI) and high-density computing, monitoring liquid cooling fluid is critical to protect uptime, maintain performance and reduce operational risk. The Dow Coolant Care Network integrates fluid supply, testing, data analysis, and mitigation support within a single, coordinated framework-supported by POLARIS Laboratories' expertise in glycol-based testing.

"We are looking forward to supporting Dow and its data center operators with advanced laboratory testing and fluid condition monitoring for liquid cooling systems," said Bryan Debshaw, POLARIS Laboratories® Chief Executive Officer. "This collaboration will provide the tools customers need to help improve efficiency, predictability, and reliability in their liquid cooling operations."

"As liquid cooling adoption accelerates, fluid analysis, and the data it generates, are critical to system reliability and performance. Because our insights depend on high-quality data, we partner with trusted, rigorously vetted providers like POLARIS Laboratories^®," said Chuck Carn, Dow Senior Director Global Product Management. "Together, through the Dow Coolant Care Network, we help customers better understand fluid health, anticipate issues, and act proactively. POLARIS Laboratories^® also has the added capability of qualified laboratory facilities in Europe and the USA which will be very welcomed by global hyperscalers."

Further strengthening the Dow Coolant Care Network, POLARIS Laboratories^® provides advanced analytical testing which enables detection of degradation, additive depletion, and contamination - factors that can impact long-term system reliability. These capabilities deliver deeper insight into fluid health and support proactive maintenance in mission-critical cooling environments.
