Infinium EDGE ETV100™ Immersion Fluid

In a significant advancement for the immersion cooling technology, Infinium has announced that its EDGE ETV100™ Immersion Fluid has received certification from NSF International as a food-safe product and confirmed to be free from PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), known as "forever chemicals". This breakthrough marks a pivotal moment for the industry, especially for applications within food and beverage processing plants.

Originally unveiled on November 9, 2026 in Sacramento, California, this fluid is now categorized under HT1, which ensures its safe interface in systems where incidental food contact may occur. NSF's rigorous certification process involved a thorough examination of the fluid's formulation to ensure compliance with applicable U.S. FDA regulations, specifically under 21 CFR.

One of the critical aspects of ETV100 is its compatibility with the Vector ONE™ modules utilized in Infinium’s community-focused EdgeSites™ program. This program brilliantly repurposes existing buildings, using a novel zero-water cooling system to power AI infrastructures effectively. A representative from Infinium, Robert Schuetzle, CEO, emphasized that this certification allows data center operators to choose fluids that demonstrate environmental responsibility and safety.

"AI infrastructure earns community trust through the choices we make — from the buildings we reuse to the fluids we put inside them," commented Schuetzle. This ethos aligns with a growing demand for transparency and sustainability within the tech industry, especially amid heightened awareness around chemical safety and environmental impact.

The danger of PFAS has been a widespread concern due to their persistence in the environment. Many immersion cooling fluids previously used in the industry contained these harmful chemicals, which have been linked to various health issues. ETV100, however, is a synthetic hydrocarbon fluid produced using Infinium's proprietary Fischer-Tropsch process. The design ensures the fluid has no fluorinated compounds, thus meeting NSF’s defined requirements, which include limiting the total organic fluorine to 50 parts per million (ppm) and the absence of added PFAS substances.

NSF International, a renowned independent organization dedicated to public health and safety, endorsed this certification, reinforcing the credibility of ETV100 in the industry. As the Business Unit Manager for nonfood compounds at NSF, Orsi Dezsi, stated: "Infinium has proven its commitment to public health and safety through its registration with NSF International. This verification indicates that the product meets the necessary category requirements for use in food processing and handling facilities."

The implications of this certification go beyond just compliance. It sends a strong message to communities hosting data centers that their infrastructure is built with public health in mind. Access to verified information about the materials used in cooling systems builds confidence and fosters collaboration between AI companies and local citizens.

With the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence across various sectors, the need for reliable and safe cooling methods has never been more critical. Infinium's ETV100 provides a solution that aligns not only with technological advancement but also with sustainable practices.

In conclusion, Infinium stands at the forefront of innovation, showing that environmental responsibility and technological advancements can coexist. For those interested in further information, the registration details can be validated through the NSF White Book. As the industry continues to evolve, the EDGE ETV100 sets a precedent for future developments in immersion fluids, ensuring that safety and sustainability remain paramount.
