Home made UV dyes

**mlwood37** · 10-07-2010, 07:56 AM

its all to do with light and the materials you use. the deeper the tube the more blue it will look. All cameras cannot pick up the colours correctly all the time and you will find that that looks deeper in real life than on the film.

Yeh the vid wasn't made by my self its one of the company that re sell my products.

hehe. mate i cannot rush some thing into production that hasn't been fully tested.Im sure even your self would rather know that what you get is going to work 100% then not working at all and blocking your water cooling system.

With the new 9 stage filter system i just bought this will help in the production of the coolants and liquids to no end.

**bundymania** · 10-10-2010, 08:24 AM

Yeah take your time np

**Lsdmeasap** · 10-13-2010, 10:57 AM

Hey Mlwood37!

I finally got around to setting up a new loop to use your dyes. I really like the dark blue you sent, however I am still concerned with the UV dye you sent and do not feel comfortable using it.

I posted about this before here, this dye is separated and will not mix up

It has always been stored at about 70F and since day one it has been unable to be mixed. It used to mix a little bit, but now does not at all.

These images are taken after about 10 minutes of shaking it up trying to mix it, as you can see the particles are not mixing at all. I'm sure if I could put it into something larger to smash the particles up it might mix up, but I can't do that and shouldn't have to.

Sorry about the image quality, I don't have a very good camera right now and it's hard to image this with the one I am using.

For now though they are just hard pieces that wont mix. So I am scared to even put this in my loop, for one what if this happens in my loop? And two, I assume the UV factor of it is all in the particles, so I am loosing a lot of the intended look since it was never mixed up and I can't mix it.

What should I do, or is there anything you can do? I am not asking for freebies or anything, but a new bottle would be great as long as it does not do the same thing.

Previously you mentioned weather may have been the cause, it's not hot here in my house and never is, so I'm not sure how that could affect it? Besides, it arrived in this fashion as well, so I don't see the temps being a factor other than during shipment.

Hi there ill get some of the new UV Clear blue sent out to you. we switched to a new UV clear blue ( this is a pure optical brighter) quite a while back as one of the older sets we used seem to gone this way. we pulled all the stock and binned it all.

the same goes for any one else who sees this problem we will replace it. Its only happened to the older stock of UV clear blue that we made when we first started using optical brighter and we changed it to a purer version. We complained to out manufacturer who didn't help us at all so he got binned and we now go direct to source and we've had no problems what so ever since.

Send me you address and ill ship some out to you straight away. i do apologise about this matter and it wont happen again.

Thi is the new UV clear blue -

You can see its totally different.

**Lsdmeasap** · 10-13-2010, 11:33 AM

Awesome to hear it's been fixed now! I was thinking maybe I got a bad batch or something when I asked before, guess you just had not seen the issue enough to know it wasn't just me.

Thanks for your quick reply on this matter, and being able to offer a nice solution!!

Any pics of the new UV Clear Blue under UV anywhere yet?

Ya, it does look very different than the older batch. I even had the old sticker on the bottle, not your new designs, so it could have been very old?

Pm coming, and thanks again!

**mlwood37** · 10-13-2010, 11:40 AM

To be real honest i should have said sooner about this and it did slip my mind. when you pointed it out the first time. How ever we did resolve the problem and i should have got back to you. There was no excuse for me not to.

The pictures of UV clear Blue are up on our site if you go to the 5ml sections. Its a little stronger than the one you had by about 20% but as per normal its not the easiest colour to take a picture of.

Youll notice as well in all the dyes we sell you can see where we get the dyes from which is Italy as the Indian company we were first dealing with .... well lets say there first batches of dyes were perfect. the second batches were allot left to be desired. We pay a little more for the dyes now but to be honest i dont care because at least i know that the product will be the same every time now.

**mlwood37** · 10-13-2010, 11:40 AM

Double post sorry.

**Lsdmeasap** · 10-13-2010, 11:52 AM

No worries about not getting back to me, I know you are very busy and have many plans and tests, ect going on - so it's not a big deal really.

I am glad I asked though, I thought about just using it and see how things went. I'm glad I asked

Great, I'll check out your site to see the pics. Ya, UV is kinda hard to shoot, many other colors are sometimes too.

Well thanks again for being able to do something about this for me so quickly!

I look forward to trying the new UV, and I'll for sure be a repeat customer and send anyone asking about dye's your way!

Nice, I see you have silver coils now too, that's great to see them at such a decent price too!

Nice work on the website and adding new materials, I'm going to have to order some things here soon from you again!

**DarthBeavis** · 10-13-2010, 03:38 PM

just screwing with you. my three current projects use Blood red, white, and UV green. all easy stuff.

**mlwood37** · 10-15-2010, 07:52 PM

Well some good news we are now producing 0-TDS liquids. The parts arrived today and I am just missing a in-line meter but my hand held meter after re calibration measured the water at 0-TDS.

So we are now Producing a Ultra Pure H20 liquid.

Any how me being me and i like to test what i make my self had to go a head and taste it after it had finished producing a batch. The liquids taste disgusting, never has some thing so pure tasted so terrible.

How ever im not producing drinking water im producing water cooling fluids

....

Im going to start Looking into buying a induction sealing cap system with in the next few months so that the bottles all can be pre sealed. So that Not only will all the liquids come With Filler Caps and Child Safety caps we will hopefully make the bottles fully sealed from my little factory line.

Don't forget we have a Face Book group here ->

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Mayhem...54035954628896

Please join it and spread the word. Every little helps.

And last but not least we soon wont be a home made suppler I've been visiting little mini warehouses were i can work from.

**mlwood37** · 10-17-2010, 02:05 PM

We would like to announce that http://watercooled-pcs.co.uk/ are now stocking Mayhems dye products as of today. this is our 2nd UK distributor and were glad to say another fine water cooling Product supplier.

We only have 2 more places left for the UK after that we wont be taking any more on in the UK as not to flood the market.

**mlwood37** · 11-03-2010, 03:17 PM

Our Colour range is growing nicely.

I would like to introduce you to a new Pre-mixed colour Oil Black.

This is a deep dark Black colour with a slight tint of green to it. (just like oil). The reason why i have made this colour as ive been looking though what blacks are out there and i think personally this defiantly is the best black on the market and is much better than any thing else. Its only going to be released as a pre-mix how ever as its very hard to control as a Pure dye.

this does have a UV additive as well so will glow a blueish colour under UV.

Pics below

-

These will be available from http://www.specialtech.co.uk in the next few days.

**penguins** · 11-03-2010, 04:22 PM

**mlwood37** · 11-04-2010, 12:39 AM
