Pentosin & PT's UV Dye - Comparitive tests

[kevinbo03]

So I was building a small encloure packed full of UV cathodes and Led's for a friend (It's going to serve as a blacklight/display stand for a bottle filled with UV dye and water). As I wired it all together and sat on my floor, I remembered I was sitting next to a box full of all my new WC supplies.

So, seeing as I was looking for something to do before a 7pm-2am shift at work, I decided to compare the effects and combination of UV dye and Pentosin coolant additive.

The results are as follows:

From Brightest to Weakest:
1. Pentosin G11 + Dye (In Water)
2. Dye (In Water)
3. %100 Pentosin G11
4. Pentoisn G11 (In Water)


So the most common use (G11+Water) is the weakest of the combinations... Not a surprise really.


Anyways, Some pictures for comparison:

Water and UV Dye (Diluted to the proper level):




%100 Pentosin G11




Water and Pentosin G11 (Diluted to the proper level)





Blue Pentosin G11 and Petra'sTech Blue UV Dye (Diluted to the proper level):





Some last minute fun with a Bawls bottle and UV Dye.



Dilution levels were determined using a 1 Liter bottle; With 1 part Pentosin G11 to 9 parts water; And one drop of UV Dye per Liter.
