This thread was originally started in order to show a couple of picture of what severe plasticizer build up looks like, and to show a problem I had been experiencing with Primochill LRT tubing. However, the thread has formed into a broad discussion about plasticizer.
Feel free to post any questions or problems you've experienced lately. If you can, please include what type of tubing it is, what components are in your loop, what additives you were using, and how long it took for the leeching to start. Pictures would be great. Also, we welcome any posts about people NOT having a problem with their tubing.
I'm hoping this can help us come together as a community and track down any tendencies of certain tube types.
Also, jackofhearts495 has started building a database of issues people have had with what tubing types. Please, check out the database here and add your info.
Here is the link: Water tubing database v1.0
Maybe with a little effort we can start to see some trends and what leads to bigger problems.

Just wanted to share this. It would seem Primochill hasn't been so resistant lately.
I disassembled the loop after only 2 weeks with this tube in order to make some changes. Pretty significant coating in such a short time. Not worrying with cleaning the blocks for the time being, since I am both busy and lazy, but definitely will be switching tubing next time.
