Disclaimer:
All the information below is based on user's feedback in overclock.net and may not be accurate at all. I will not be responsible on any outcome that is caused by this compilation as it ONLY acts as researched information I have gathered from various sources online. The suggested tubing that is plasticizer free may end up plasticizering your watercooling loop and I will not be responsible on that outcome.
As for today "company A" might be producing the best tubing with no problems, but as we all know most of the tubing is made by batches by mixing certain ingredients. Tomorrow the ingredients might change causing the tubing quality to drop & giving you problems. So please be aware of the date this information is published as every product that is made has its own batch on when it was made.
Also please be aware that we suspect the main cause of plasticizer is the tubing plastic leaching caused loop temperature but we can't/ haven't prove this yet. The suspected cause of this problem could be totally wrong. There is also some evidence suggesting killcoil speeds up tubing clouding and there is also another claim being made by another user saying biocide speeds up the tubing clouding. As mention previously, all this could be the possible cause but its not 100% confirmed.
I will leave the information here for you guys to make your own decision and also to educate what is "plasticizer" all about. I have no intention to promote any brand of tubing or company. My advice is to get a tubing that won't plasticizer so that you can use it with dyes/coolant and your system will still look good. In the end of the day watercooling is mostly about the sexy aesthetic looks of it and this will also save your time in maintenance since you don't need to keep replacing your tubing every month for it to look good. Do take note that there is cheap tubings available out there, you can also buy that and replace it every month if that is a cheaper option for you. The choice is yours, whatever floats your boat.
Solid tubing (copper) or acrylic tubing will not have such problems, so if you don't want to come across any plasticizer issues, you might want to choose that path.
PS: I am sorry if there is any grammar errors or the post is difficult to understand. If anyone wishes to do some grammar editing feel free to edit it in a word file & PM me. I am busy with assignments and stuff, ain't nobody got time for grammar checking
