Pacific Rubber & Packing to Showcase VeriClean Seals at OCP Global Summit

Pacific Rubber & Packing, Inc. is set to showcase its VeriClean Seals™ at the OCP Global Summit, which is taking place from October 12 to 15 at the San Jose Convention Center. The summit, themed "Scaling Innovation for the AI Era," aims to address the challenges faced by AI data centers, particularly in terms of reliability and thermal management.

According to Bill Sharratt, President and CEO of Pacific Rubber & Packing, Inc., the company is addressing a critical gap in the industry by focusing on the cleanliness of seals in liquid-cooled data center racks.

The VeriClean Seals™ are designed to close this gap by providing elastomer seals engineered for coolant purity, thermal stability, and reliability. Each seal is measured, cleaned, and documented for surface particulate contamination before it enters the loop. Processed in PRP's ISO Class 7 cleanrooms, VeriClean delivers a documented particle risk reduction of 60-90 percent compared to commodity products, verified by optical microscopy and laser particle counting from 1.3 µm across 16 size bins.

Pacific Rubber & Packing, Inc. has been supplying precision elastomers to semiconductor, aerospace, and high-purity process markets since 1979. The company's VeriClean Seals™ apply the same fab-grade discipline to the Technology Cooling System (TCS) and Facility Water System (FWS) interface, now being standardized across the OCP Cooling Environments community and ASHRAE TC 9.9 liquid classes. Standards for coolant cleanliness are emerging, but seal cleanliness specifications remain largely unaddressed.

At the OCP Global Summit, meetings will focus on several key areas: - Where seal specification and contamination control actually sit inside design authority: mechanical, materials, or systems. - How non-integral particulate load in TCS and FWS loops is being measured before a rack or CDU goes live, and where it is not. - Compatibility as coolant chemistry moves beyond standard glycol into higher-performance and more chemically aggressive fluids. - A path to a common cleanliness specification for wetted elastomers, the way semiconductor fabs already specify consumables.

The company's product data, the VCQ qualification program, and the ROI calculator can be found at vericlean.one.

The summit will bring together industry experts to discuss the challenges and solutions in scaling AI data centers, with a particular emphasis on thermal reliability and the role of clean seals in maintaining optimal performance. Pacific Rubber & Packing, Inc. is positioning itself as a key player in addressing these critical issues, ensuring that data centers can operate at peak efficiency and reliability.
