Modine Coatings, a leader in protective coatings, is proud to introduce its groundbreaking EFIN℠ Data Shield™ Program—the only solution offering a 10-year warranty for protective
coatings of data center equipment. This innovative program safeguards critical data center equipment from corrosion, enhances system efficiency, and helps avoid costly unplanned downtime, setting a new industry standard for reliability and performance.
With over 50 years’ experience in protective coatings, Modine Coatings is bringing its trusted anti-corrosion technology to the data center industry.
The new program’s unprecedented 10-year warranty—double the standard warranty in the industry—offers data centers the peace of mind they need to operate at peak performance.
“The EFIN℠ Data Shield™ Program is designed to protect essential infrastructure with multiple layers of cutting-edge technology,” said Peter J. D’Ambrosio, Director of Sales at Modine Coatings. “Our unique, three-layer system delivers superior protection against corrosion, UV exposure, and environmental challenges—ensuring longevity and efficiency. This comprehensive solution is engineered to meet the demanding needs of modern data centers.”
Data centers, which are critical to the global economy, rely on specialized cooling systems to maintain optimal temperatures and prevent equipment failures. Modine Coatings has a longstanding reputation for delivering high-quality, anti-corrosion coatings to the HVAC industry, and its new product is tailored to meet the stringent demands of data center operators.
“The key word for data centers is reliability. Our coatings help ensure that the cooling systems in these environments remain robust and operational, preventing costly downtime that could have significant financial implications,” added D’Ambrosio.
One of the standout features of Data Shield™ is its extended 10-year warranty, a significant improvement over the standard 5-year warranty typically provided for HVAC coatings. This enhanced protection is made possible by a specialized coating process that adds an extra layer of reliability to the heat exchangers, or coils, found in chillers used in data center cooling systems.
“Corrosion can lead to premature failure of key components, but with Data Shield™, we are offering three layers of protection—TCP, ElectroFin® E-coat, and a UV topcoat,” D’Ambrosio explained. “This advanced technology not only extends the life of the equipment but also enhances its operational performance over time, which is crucial for data center managers who cannot afford downtime.”
The product’s introduction comes at a time when the data center market is growing rapidly. As the demand for cloud computing and data storage continues to increase, so does the need for reliable infrastructure. Modine’s coatings provide data center operators with a valuable tool to help mitigate risks associated with environmental corrosion and material outgassing, which can damage cooling components. “While corrosion risks are often associated with environments near saltwater, we recognize that new
construction materials can also introduce risks. Our coatings are designed to withstand these challenges, ensuring long-term reliability,” D’Ambrosio added.
