Fluorinated Liquids: The Hidden Cost Behind High-Tech Cooling

As artificial intelligence, semiconductor manufacturing, and data centers continue to expand rapidly, fluorinated liquids (PFPE) — known as the “invisible heroes” of high-performance cooling — are becoming indispensable in advanced industries.

With their excellent insulation, superior heat transfer capability, and outstanding chemical stability, fluorinated liquids are widely used in chip cooling, immersion cooling for data centers, and aerospace electronics cleaning.

Currently, international brands such as 3M’s Novec™ series are priced between several thousand to tens of thousands of RMB per drum, while domestic products are emerging as cost-effective alternatives. Shenzhen Huayi Brother Technology Co., Ltd. manufactures a full range of fluorinated liquids that can replace 3M products, offering stable performance and high cost-effectiveness to meet the growing demand for precision cooling and cleaning worldwide.

With continued technological advancement and improved recycling systems, fluorinated liquids are expected to play an even greater role in the future of high-end industries.
