Zerex Questions

[mrapples]

so i was out getting some random stuff the other day, and i glanced down and saw a gallon container of what else, zerex, on the shelf, all by itself

no price tag on it, so i had them check it, 5 bucks
so i bought it, despite one thing that made me question it:

on the bottle it says "50/50 pre-diluted"

i looked it up and cannot find much info on it, so what do you all think, did i get a good buy, will it work?

thanks

Says DO NOT ADD WATER heh, so I guess you'll have to experiment. It contains antifreeze as well so it will be sub-optimal compared to the Zerex Super Racing Coolant which has no antifreeze. What colour is the Zerex you bought?

[Manuel C]

one question that doesnot have nothing to do with the one up. someone knows where to buy Zerex super coolant in EU? thnks:)

[mrapples]

it looks like its going to be greenish

[johnanderson]

it looks like you can probably dilute it a little with water since no loop requires a 50/50 mix unless youre running mixed metals.

[creidiki]

Even with mixed metals you shouldnt really run more than 15% zerex.

[mrapples]

i know i will be diluting it more, im just wondering if this is the right stuff

[MaxxxRacer]

just an FYI.. this is the WRONG STUFF. this is regular antifreeze... the zerex that we use for pc cooling has absolutely no antifreeze properites to it.

[mindwreck]

yeah thats teh wrong stuff. you want this

its a additive to be mixed with water

[mrapples]

well, you cant win them all, but i suppose its just $5

[racinjimy]

that will work great in your car!

[MaxxxRacer]

that will work great in your car!

very true.. so its not a total loss.

Not to run this thread into another tangent, but out of curiousity, what does running more than your stated 15% or so do? Any negative effects like clogging stuff up, or just sub-optimal temperatures?

I asked Valvoline and they don't sell Zerex in Europe. You can buy it at a few stores but then it's imported.
The only resellers I know of is Over-Clock.cu.uk (http://store.over-clock.com/WaterAdditives.html) and OverClockers.se (http://www.overclockers.se/ItemInfo?itemId=34635813), I suppose they buy it fron Danger Den so other DD resellers might sell it too.

I brought 36oz (3x 12oz bottles) from dangerdenstore.com (http://www.dangerdenstore.com/product.php?productid=77&cat=54&page=1), it'll be enough for a while.

serra, slightly worse temps, and very pink water.. thats all. it will stain your tubing more doing that too.

ive never heard of zerex clogging anything, but with a high enough concentration it MIGHT be possible.

[kamongear]

Maxx, then why does audi antifreeze work?

[creidiki]

'cause thats pentosin

[Marci]

All antifreezes will WORK, but they detriment thermal capacity of water more than non-antifreeze additives. For performance, avoid additives with antifreeze properties as those properties aren't required in our systems.

Zerex Racing SuperCoolant - Purple
WaterWetter - Red
HydrX - Green
LiquidCosworth - Blue

...all anti-corrosive surface-tension reducers. Take yer pick.

what about that innovatek stuff (called innovaprotekt IP pro), got it from a friend because i filled my system on sunday and didn´t want to wait to get some water wetter. anyone knows about performance?

that´s the bottle, but i don´t know what´s in it:stick: (only that it should be mixed 1:5 with water)

[MaxxxRacer]

call me a hater, but I generaly try to stay away from anything that has the words innovatek on it.

[creidiki]

hater ;p

only have a tank-matic and this anti-corro (puh i remember on my old rev.3 which had such a bad reaction between copper and alu as it was full with a gel-like substance, also hate the other stuff but the tank-matic is cool:D )

anyway i didn´t get any temp-pumps between this stuff and water wetter so it shouldn´t be too bad anyway:rolleyes:

anyone had the same cooler called innovacool rev.3? i still remember it, all this gel stuff inside the tubing, other coolers EVERYWHERE, i´ll never buy an innovatek cooler again (only my tank:D , but it isn´t a cooler:p: ).

hmm what to say else... HATER?!:clap:

PS: is there anything against usind water wetter with uv-die? then i´ll step back on that...
