Inhibited Ethylene Glycol 35/65 with OAT-908 — Data Center Coolant
Premium 35% v/v inhibited ethylene glycol coolant engineered for data centers, hyperscale direct-liquid cooling (DLC) loops, edge-compute thermal management, HVAC chillers, and industrial closed-loop heat-transfer systems. Pre-blended at 35% v/v ethylene glycol in deionized water with the OAT-908 hybrid corrosion-inhibitor package. Conforms to ASTM D3306 industrial coolant corrosion limits. 5+ year closed-loop service life under design conditions.
What is OAT-908?
OAT-908 is a hybrid Organic Acid Technology (OAT) corrosion-inhibitor package combining aliphatic organic acids with selective inorganic synergists (sodium nitrite, sodium molybdate, sodium benzoate) for simultaneous protection of copper, brass, mild steel, cast iron, aluminum, and lead-tin solder in a single fluid. Reduces silicate and phosphate fouling vs. legacy IAT and HOAT formulations.
Climate fit: West Texas, the Texas / Oklahoma / New Mexico belt, the Front Range (Denver, Albuquerque, Salt Lake City), and inland Mid-Atlantic / Southeast data-center sites that occasionally drop into the single digits Fahrenheit. Corresponds to ASHRAE Climate Zones 4 - 5 design conditions.
Performance
Engineered for the same closed-loop applications as premium industrial inhibited ethylene glycol coolants — chilled-water and condenser-water loops, DLC and rear-door heat exchangers, HVAC chiller systems, hydronic process cooling, and freeze / burst protection. Conforms to ASTM D3306 industrial coolant corrosion limits across the same six-metal ASTM D1384 coupon stack used to benchmark long-running inhibited glycol formulations.
Why data-center engineers specify this blend
-
Freeze protection to -20°C (-4°F) at the supplied 35/65 dilution — fits the climate-zone design conditions for the regions above
-
5+ year closed-loop service life with annual fluid analysis (reserve alkalinity, pH, refractive index)
-
ASTM D3306 conformance across the full ASTM D1384 six-metal coupon stack
-
Hybrid OAT inhibitor reduces heat-exchanger fouling vs. silicate/phosphate IAT formulations
-
Elastomer-compatible with NBR (Buna-N), EPDM, FKM (Viton), HNBR, VMQ silicone, neoprene (CR), and CSM (Hypalon)
-
Made in the USA — blended at our Taylor, Texas facility under documented batch-control procedures with lot-specific Certificate of Analysis
-
Non-DOT-regulated — ships standard freight without hazmat surcharge

Maintenance & make-up
Use only deionized or distilled water (less than 50 µS/cm conductivity, < 25 ppm chloride, < 25 ppm sulfate) for top-up and make-up. Annual fluid analysis is recommended; replace fluid when reserve alkalinity falls below 5.0 mL or pH drops below 7.0.
Pet-safety note: ethylene glycol is highly toxic to dogs, cats, and wildlife if ingested. Clean up spills immediately and store containers out of reach of animals. See the SDS for full hazard, first-aid, and disposal guidance.
