Plasticizer Problems / Discussion / Gallery - Page 188

Perhaps, here's a good start. Please Contribute! - OCN WC Tubing Database. It's been collecting data for almost a year now. Might not have all the data you want, but still worth looking.

Durelene



Here is the tubing since ???? and before removed and cleaned with cotton rag and a wood stick with soap.

Right New Durelene tubing

I Had to bring it to a dark background to see it better and here is the proof. Left to right

Over here you can see the plasticizer/haze much better but when its wet you almost cannot see it only if you put a new or a
cleaned tubing side by side. Now is time to know how long Durelene toke to get like this. My tubing was changed on 7/31/12 Post #1154 http://www.overclock.net/t/1199158/plasticizer-problems-discussion-gallery/1150#post_17827918
running Distilled Water with Mayhems Pastel Ice White.








PS : keep in mind my rig was running Distilled water with Mayhems Pastel Ice White, Durelene has prove the durability. even running under premix and die, the plasticizer/haze is not noticeable whem the tubing is wet. like I said above only side by side with new tubing.

Now is BHD wil only run Distilled water with Mayhems Biocide. for the next final test in very heave load.




Thanks for all you guys support and let's keep this thread clean objective with this problems

Fantastic post. Thanks for all that info. I'm tearing down my loop in a week or so and will post some results of some 3 month old Masterkleer and Durelene

Looks like Im going to wait on purchasing some Duralene

Sticking with the Primochill blue stuff for now.

LOL! funny

Yeah

The film has actually turned blue due to the Mahyems dye and i think that lends to the blue color of the tube. I just hate the original purple-looking uv blue. I had to use a new piece of tube so its gonna look like that for a few weeks before it turns the nice looking blue plasticized color.


It is hilarious that there's some positive from this whole ordeal .

Please do. We need as much data we can get


you don't have to wait just buy it and change it. I like I said before this is one of the best cheap clean tubing around with so much durability around.

I does looks way better with the white cream cheese inside some how the color kind sparkling in your rig shines way better. but it does hurt your hardware.

some of you just make me like a little kid sometimes. ..



PS: I almost forgot to let you guys know about the Mayhems Pink UV dye that i used with Durelene after all this time the tubing turn out all pink. I never did cleaned it but i still have it in hands. I may be doing it tonight and see how it goes and post back. called haze+pink dye LOL.

^^^ I have my liquid in a jug at the moment and no debris, no discoloration or pastel to it. At most some of the buildup is on the tips of the inner piece-barb of my comp fittings.


I might still place an order since its cheap anyways. How flexible is it btw?

Thank you for the detailed post. A few questions though, did you get a chance to open any of your blocks when you replaced the tubing? And, what (if any) sort of residue you found in the reservoir?

I'm running distilled with 5% corrsion inhibitor myself. So far the white haze is the only sign of problem the Durelene is giving (only visible when dry). Will give it time and report back in the next few months.

Thanks, skyn3t.

My rad was clean like day one both of my rad was very clean,I did used a very tiny flash light to look inside. I could not find anything bad build up/raze or anything around the threads to harm my hardware. CPU block was clean too not much to look inside all the fins was very clean, The only think i did found inside the CPU block is a little tiny peace of the Acetal from my Reservoir Base nothing else. VGA Block from the threads and how clean was the rest of my hardware I did not bother to open it. I can tell you for sure if i had anything wrong with Blocks and Rad I would find it in the threads of both of hardware. Thank God nothing has been found.
