Conformal Coated Memory for Liquid Immersion Servers
Combine the superior performance of DDR5 technology with enhanced protection, ensuring reliability and longevity in the most demanding data center environments.
Protective Conformal
Coating Considerations
Conformal coating on DDR5 RDIMMs provides a protective barrier against environmental threats such as oxidation making them particularly well suited for liquid immersion cooling systems, which are gaining popularity for their efficiency and sustainability.
As data centers face increasing demands for performance and energy efficiency, organizations are increasingly looking to liquid immersion cooling which provides superior heat dissipation compared to traditional air cooling, enabling higher density computing and improved energy efficiency.
However, this advancement poses a challenge for electronic components requiring a protective conformal coating commonly used to shield electronics against harmful environmental conditions such as moisture, thermal shock, static, vibration, and contamination. Polyurethane is often used for the coating due to its ability to resist moisture, abrasion, and chemicals.
Conformal coating is best applied by spraying a thin, uniform layer on the surface of both sides of the memory module. Spraying allows for precise application and is preferred in comparison to other methods such as dipping and brushing. Once sprayed on the memory module, the thin polymeric film conforms to the printed circuit board, providing comprehensive protection for the module’s components.

A conformal coating is a thin polymer film applied to memory modules (such as DDR5 RDIMMs) to protect them from corrosion, oxidation, moisture, and environmental contaminants—especially in immersion-cooled data center environments.
The coating allows memory components to reliably operate in liquid-immersion cooling systems by providing corrosion protection, thermal stability, and long-term durability—enabling high performance in demanding AI, HPC, and data center applications.
Common types of conformal protective coatings include acrylic, silicone, urethane, and parylene—each chosen based on the operating environment and cooling method.
Data centers, AI/HPC deployments, telecom, aerospace, military, and industrial automation all use coated memory for reliability in harsh, rugged, or liquid-cooled environments where modules are exposed to extreme temperatures and susceptible to corrosion.
