Watercooling liquid confusion
4 minutes ago, cluelessgenius said:-
Double protect ultra - Only mentions corrosion inhibitors, no MSDS available.
Mayhem ultra pure H2O - Just water, nothing else, not suitable as coolant
Protect IP - Ethylene glycol based, not suitable for PETG, anti-corrosive is hexanoic acid, same as EK-cryofuel.
RAIAQUA - Propylene glycol based, no document biocidal properties.
XSPC EC6 - Also propylene glycol, no documented biocidal ingrediants
Thermaltake Coolant - Ethylene glycol based, not suitable for PETG, no added biocides or anticorrosives
IMO all of them are only so-so at best. According to the documentation available (or not), EK-Cryofuel is the best option above all the above for the following reasons:
- It is water based, and so compatible with PETG (unlike protect IP)
- Contains organic biocide (as opposed to not, or inorganic biocides such as copper sulphate)
- Contains anti-corrosives (tri-azole based, and also hexanoic acid based)
