Home made UV dyes

[Phaseshift]

hmm I'm able to checkout with a US address but not sure if its up and running yet for us in the United States

[mlwood37]

Europe , USA is up and running for small orders.

[Phaseshift]

sweet thanks I just ordered some woohooo I'm glad that you are back hehe

[crazy1323]

just got the last red

[mlwood37]

orders shipped guys , all orders cost a little more to the USA as the MSDS sheets are now included so they should pass customs with out any problems. This adds a few pence onto the price of shipping but should guarantee delivery and stop customs messing me around.

As for the red dye there were quite a lot there but re-sellers are snapping them up. Ill get some more up in the next few days once i get time to make them up.

[Phaseshift]

I dont even have a WC kit but I've been wanting your dyes for so long, I decided to snatch some up for future WC build lol

[m_jones_]

Excellent service the dye turned up the next day & god your ultra mix is strong!

[SovietKitsch]

Just got my blue. Cannot wait to see it in action!

Not sure why but my Mayhems red has turned purple w/ less than a month in the loop. Distilled water + 2 drops of PT Nuke + silver coil. Never had any issues w/ the Mayhems blue in my other machine.

blue + red = purple

that's if there is any residue from a previous dye (and blue is a pin in the ass to remove if used to much) in the past. we have ran red for (walks away and gets test sheets) 8 months and 1 days with sight loss of colour over his time period (as in its not as bold as it ws when first put in). Colour loss appeared after 10 months approx. My notes say it may have been because we moved my daughters PC near to the window 1 month before hand.

By the way Ice dragon cooling is some bloody good stuff. This is what the dyes were mixed with in my daughters PC as well. How ever stated we did lose a little red dye colour but this may be because of the sun light on it.

In my daughters system she was running a duel core intel water cooled on a 2 x 120 mm XPSC rad temps on start were 25c normal and 48c when playing her games, and at the end of testing were approx 5% higher. So over all we had no problems what so ever. When i did finally rip her system apart there were no blockages.

All so 1 drop of PT nuke is enough in most systems ... if you use to much say 3,4,5,6,7 ect ect it can discolour weak dyes , we found this out in very early testing of dyes and it mainly the Purple that gets discoloured. how ever this is not a flaw in PT nuke or the dyes.



were currently testing this as well which is based on red dye -



Above is pictured MD-HBN-70 fluids which is a little different to dragon ice cooling fluids. How ever i still have to admit i love Dragons ICE cooling fluid as it been working well in my girls system for quite a while now.

Hi Mayhems dye,

I would like to know which of the silver kill coil or the biocide I should use (you recommend). I would like to flush only every 6 months.

Distilled water + Mayhems dye bright UV red + (silver coil or biocide)

I'm good to go for 6 months straight without flushing?

Regards

Kos

[mlwood37]

Lol bad question for me...

I Personally don't like Kill coils my self and much prefer either petra biocide or my own biocide (im not bias). I'm very much in the mind set of the old school and fined that once you find some thing that works why switch. With all the who-har surrounding mixed metals and some dogy plating going on and some seriously bad advise floating around on some forums / BBS my personal advise has all ways been stick to copper and plastic, leave the plating up to the people who like to show off.

I don't do a UV red as a dye i only do Red dye and or UV pink. How ever the closet you will ever get to UV red is to use Red dye + UV pink this is how all makers of dyes and pre-mixed liquids make them. You will only need 1 or 2 drops of UV pink to get a UV colour and don't go over board on UV pink as this is one of the worst culprits for staining.

All so I noticed that some bad maker of so called dye bombs who sell some thing called "UV Pink / Orange wich has a Pink base colour , UV orange under UV light"" and recommends you can mix them with other dyes. Well i can tell you right here and now you should never ever on this earth mix UV pink / Orange with any other dyes as they will separate and will cause blockages (first time you will have herd me say that). The dye used in UV pink / Orange is not a mixable dye and never has been. "Primochill" you should be ashamed of your self's peddling like that and saying its mixable....

[Kosmic71]

Thank you Mayhems dye for an elaborate reply. I will order soon.

Regards

Sorry about the un labled dyes (gifts). that was cos i was in a rush to get them to due because i sent your order to the wrong address first time around.

The clear colour is UV clear Blue which you can mix in with either deep purple or Ultra blue to make them UV active .

[Sparky]

Even though colored tubing is a foolproof way to have color that doesn't fade or cause gunk buildup (I'm NOT referencing anybody in particular! Just how dyes have commonly acted in the past) I still like clear tubing with colored water better I think. It just has that sweet glassy look to it.

Mayhems is tempting me to rebuild my loop with clear tubes + his dye instead of the new length of Primochill LRT I have. Just to try it out, heh

Unrealer - send me you address again ill ship some UV yellow / Green.

The UV pink / orange is a none mixable colour. please do not mix that with any other colours else it will cause you problems. (I only normally sell that under special request)

The rest of the colours are mixable.

Yellow + Blue + UV Clear blue = dark green
Red + UV Pink = UV Red
Yellow + Purple = Black
Yellow + Red = Orange / Gold

ect ect

Unrealer - send me you address again ill ship some UV yellow / Green.

Wow, thanks

[Phaseshift]

I saw your ultra blue video on youtube micahel, is 4 drops the max one should put in their loop?

@mlwood37


I'm glad that you're back and going to continue selling your dyes. I haven't been around for a while but that doesn't mean that I didn't do any further testing with your dye.

Do you remember that I asked you if it would be possible to use your dye with Océ cooling liquid?





You told me not to try it but I did it anyway. I've been running that mixture in my loop for a few months now with no problems at all. I think that I also found the reason why sometimes the dye fades very quickly.

Before I used that mixture in my loop, I tried it in a small bottle to see if nothing bad happens and if it would be a good idea to try it in my loop. After a month and no problems at all I decided to try it in my loop.

I also noticed that as long as the small bottle was properly closed nothing happened with the mixture but once the bottle was left open the colour faded very quickly so I think that if the dye fades very quickly it has something to do with air and that there is somekind of oxidation of the dye.


I'll try to make some pictures when I've got the time to post them in the thread.

[mlwood37]

thats interesting and some thing we never tried. I know that purple loses its colour if you add to much bioside. Its some thing i can duplicate here. The other dyes seem to be fine in the line though but never tryied just leaving them in the open air tbh as every thing is sealed and kept as clean as possible while making the fluids. I might just open the res on one of the pcs thats running purpe and see if it effects it at all... no harm in trying .

[Alien Grey]

A few pictures with a mixture of océ liquid cooling and Mayhems UV green dye.















You can also see how the colour faded from the test mixture in the small bottle in the first picture. The colour doesn't seem to fade in my loop and this is after more than six months with the océ and Mayhems UV green dye.

The UV green dye that I used is from the early days and I think that it's replaced with a different UV green dye so the colour might be a little different.

[mlwood37]

No the original UV green is the same , its just 5x stronger.

The only colours that have changed are the UV blue, and the Red and deep blue is now 10x stronger than before.

The dyes we used before are pretty much the same as they work and don't see the need to change things to much. the only reason for a stronger blue was i has a couple of comments were people would like to see it even stronger so i pushed the deep blue limits and made it go mental.

The largest change is in the water i process as it not only distilled and goes though reverse osmosis but all so is deionised to a ultra pure water at 0tds, 0us when filling. Plus the fact were now sending our graphite liquids to testers.if all goes well and our deal with dragon ice fluids comes though we could be selling 2 types of white liquids.
