UV white coolant?

Thread Starter 
After looking all-over the internet for a source of coolant that when under UV glows white, I have finally decided that I must hang my head in shame and ask the experts here at OCN. I'am starting to think that there is simply no way to get your hands on this type of coolant, so-far I have only found types that glow blue and/or another color which is very annoying when it is a key part of my build!

Any ideas? smile.gif

If you want it to glow white under UV light, have you looked at UV reactive white tubing?

I have that in my build, but I'am also planning on using a plexi GPU block, pump top, and res which will all be visible.

BTW the way to make UV white "glow white" its a optical illusion as in T-Shirts that are white don't glow white they glow blue. Blue is what makes white "whiter" ... lol that's a mouth full ...

to back it up here you go -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_brightener

Ice Dragon is pure white, but I am not sure about UV.

Ah, thanks for clearing that one up for me, I was wondering why I kept seeing UV white coolamt looking blue biggrin.gif . I think I will need to see it in person before I make my mind-up.
