Know your fluid.Trust your system.
Immersion changes what the fluid has to prove.
INDIChemistry—known simply as INDI—is an independent commercial laboratory for dielectric fluids, fluid-contact materials, components, and liquid-immersed systems.
From data centers and edge compute to electric mobility, off-highway machinery, marine and aviation power, BESS, and emerging immersed systems, INDI turns fluid data into evidence for qualification, continued functionality, and predictive maintenance.

Flagship commercial capability
High-frequency dielectric data for immersion fluids.
At high-speed interfaces, the dielectric behavior of the fluid is part of the signal environment. INDI measures relative permittivity and dielectric loss at 20 and 40 GHz under controlled temperature conditions.
The four-point package provides difficult-to-source input data for fluid selection, system modeling, qualification, and supplier comparison. Reports document conditioning, test conditions, data, method status, and limitations so engineers can use the results in context.

Where immersion is going
More than cooling. An electrical architecture.
When dielectric fluid makes direct contact with the electrical system, fluid chemistry becomes a design, reliability, and operating decision.
INDI helps translate that decision across three fast-moving commercial worlds while respecting their distinct duty cycles and evidence requirements.

BEYOND THE THREE COLUMNS
Power electronics, charging systems, industrial drives, robotics, research platforms, and specialty electrification: if the hardware lives in dielectric fluid, bring us the question.
One fluid. Many jobs.
The coolant is doing more than carrying heat.
Direct contact makes the fluid part of every electrical, thermal, material, functional, and maintenance interface. A useful test program evaluates the fluid in the context of the immersed system.
Electrical behavior
Permittivity, loss, breakdown behavior, moisture sensitivity, and the conditions that make the data meaningful.
Thermal duty
Viscosity, flow-relevant properties, temperature exposure, and how the fluid supports heat removal over the operating range.
Compatibility + function
Material change across elastomers, polymers, coatings, and metals—paired with post-exposure checks of component and system functionality.
Aging + predictive insight
Baseline quality, controlled aging, oxidation, contamination, and in-service trends that support condition assessment and predictive maintenance.
Three ways to work with INDI
Characterize. Qualify. Predict.
Start with the decision the data must support, then build a defensible program around the exact fluid, materials, hardware, duty cycle, and failure mode. Baselines and recurring data create the path to predictive maintenance.
01
Characterize the fluid
Measure decision-relevant properties, compare candidates or aged samples, and build a technical data package around the application and operating conditions.

Qualify the immersed system
Evaluate the exact fluid, fluid-contact materials, components, and assemblies under project-specific conditions. Track material change and continued function against agreed acceptance criteria.
Plan a qualification program →03
Build toward predictive maintenance
Establish a commissioning baseline, identify useful condition markers, trend fluid and system change, and turn recurring data into earlier, better-targeted maintenance decisions.
Design a predictive program →Founder-led by design
A focused laboratory on purpose.
Projects are scoped directly with the person designing and reviewing the work.
Independent Dielectrics was founded by chemical engineer Joshua Garner after more than a decade working with dielectric fluids, laboratory testing, transformer diagnostics, high-voltage equipment, and emerging immersion applications.
That background matters because fluid data is only useful in context. INDI brings the hard-earned discipline of mature dielectric-fluid testing to new immersed systems and adapts it to the decisions each application must support.
