PETG Hard tubing: which coolant?

[Shadowman]

Ok i have heard that there are certain coolants that can't be used with PETG tubing, coolants  that have ethylene glycol? Good thing is i found out about this before getting a coolant, so know that i know which coolant would be ok? anyone know of any that would be fine with PETG?

Yes, those do not contain ethylene glycol/ ethanediol. So they are safe for use with PETG.

the newer White Pastel Extreme does contain ethylene glycol actually it is 99.8% ethylene glycol.   Old pastels are fine as well as x1

Thanks for that really appreciate it, in regards to pastel which I have not seen in person but seems very thick in pictures looks like a smoothie that will gunk up your block.

I haven't seen too many cases of people getting blocks gunked up.  There have been a few, but some of that could be poorly flushed rads, with the blocks filtering the gunk from the rads and coloring it with the pastel dye.  I wouldn't worry too much about it gunking up if you keep your loop clean.  I'd recommend Mayhem's Blitz to clean it up (part 1 is for the rads only, part 2 is for the whole loop)
