The Data Master Eco redefines liquid cooling performance through sustainable, efficient manufacturing. Its halogen-free design offers a cleaner alternative that reduces environmental impact without compromising reliability or safety. Building on that foundation, Gates is streamlining its manufacturing process for Data Master Eco to cut energy use by approximately 75% compared with alternatives, eliminating natural gas, water, and steam traditionally used to cure and strengthen hose materials. The company's advanced curing method also reduces carbon emissions at the source and increases production efficiency.

The result is a 15% lighter, flexible, ultra-clean cooling hose that maintains the reliability of the Gates Data Master family. Key advantages include:

• Halogen-free materials that meet IEC, EN, and JEDEC/ECA standards, ensuring environmental safety and compliance with global ESG requirements.
• Flame-resistant cover certified to UL94V-0 for proven fire safety and reliable performance in high-heat data center environments.
• Low extractables and ultra-clean design that preserve coolant purity and protect sensitive HPC components.
• Reduced material complexity with fewer material types and layers, simplifying recycling and end-of-life processing.
• Lowered embodied emissions supporting customers' Scope 3 commitments.

"Data Master Eco embodies our commitment to sustainability through innovation," said Mike Haen, vice president, global product line management and marketing at Gates. "We're giving data centers a way to lower their environmental footprint without compromising thermal performance or reliability."
