The short version is I need to dispose of the coolant from a Corsair H75 AIO.
I don't see an MSDS on Corsair's site and the declaration of conformity is not clear on how to properly handle the coolant.

Does anyone know the correct way to dispose of the coolant from this AIO?

Which is another way of saying “what is this stuff!?” I guess.  If what it is is known, a disposal practice could follow from that.  Does corsairs website have any info?

 

the strongest bet is distilled water because it’s cheap.  Thing is if Corsair could have gotten even a degree or two out of something toxic they very well might have done it because better reviews.

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.

It is mainly propylene glycol. However there may be some ethylene glycol in it too, exactly what ratio is unfortunately anybody's guess. To be on the safe side, it should be treated the same as automotive coolant.

Recent builds:  Meshify C (Zero Tolerance!) & View 37 (Breathable Quad 2080Ti + 2990WX)

Best documented PC coolants

Older Builds

Spoiler

Full-custom loop builds: Meshify C (Full custom loop SLI), Ncase M1(8700K + 1080Ti Full custom loop)  Obsidian 900D (1950X + Quad 1080Ti) & Fractal Define C (1080 in SLI)

Air-cooled builds Air 740D (1920X + Quad 980Ti) & Fractal Define C (Version Air!)

It's likely "Propylene Glycol", aka Anti-freeze. A quick google search suggests it's probably identical to the stuff you would use in the radiator of a car, so I'd probably suggest disposing of it the same way you'd dispose of any other car fluids.

Thanks for the help! It sort of smells like engine coolant to me so that's how I'll treat it.
