Home made UV dyes

[mlwood37]

Oky finished testing the Premixed liquids and Ultra Pure H20 then worked out the average of them. 10 of each liquid was tested and results marked up.

The reading has a range because each liquid fell in between these ranges over the test period and this makes more sense to do it this way.

Mayhems Premixed X1 liquids -

TDS - 0.02 to 0.05 @25c
Us - 0.01 to 0.05 @ 25c
PH - 7.4 to 7.5 @ 25c

Mayhems Ultra Pure H20

TDS - 0.00 to 0.05 @25c
Us - 0.009 to 0.05 @ 25c
PH - 7.8 to 8.01 @ 25c (this may seem high how ever we do not use chemicals to realign it we keep it as pure as possible)

This is accurate readings taken over a period of 5 days with both liquids using digital meters that are calibrated before each test. PH meter is calibrated with 7 PH, 4 PH and 10 PH liquids, the TDS meter tested with 225 TDS liquids @ 25c.

When i get back from my hol's ill test our Biocide in full detail when added to Ultra Pure H20 and Halfords liquids. All so we will test the dyes to see what effect they have.

Mick, could you tell me how to make the UV Specialtech Blue? It has exactly the color I want for my loop !

[Phaseshift]

6 drops of Deep Blue, although I just noticed that I ordered Ultra Blue and got a deep blue

[Phaseshift]

is it safe to add more than 6 drops, i want it to be darker. What would be the max drops to put in a loop if there is any?

[mlwood37]

Ultra Blue / Deep Blue is the same (just beefed up blue). i Just haven't changed the name on labels, normally 5 drops is enough, you cannot get it any deeper. To get a real dark blue you could either add a tiny amount of purple or red to tinge it a little darker how ever when i say tiny i mean take red or deep purple, add 1 drop to 100mls of water then carefully add the new mix into blue to darken it (give each drop 30 to 45 seconds to circulate)..

We are looking into changing the branding and all so the labels with in the next few months to some thing more suitable as were expanding the product range from dyes and liquids eventually.

UV Specialtech Blue will only be made once i get the go ahead. Its just blue + yellow + White mixture.

thanks mik, I just snet you an email through wcdyes.com

do you have any pictures of what it would look like if one were to add purple or red to the blue?

[hillywav]

hi mayhem, do you have any deep green dyes in your selection?

[Phaseshift]

question 1:should I mix the dye after filling the loop with distilled water, or should I mix the dye + distilled BEFORE putting in the loop?

question 2: Is there a difference in color between your Pre-Mix Blue and Ultra Blue Dye + 1 ltr of distilled?

[mlwood37]

Pre-mix is a vegetable extract liquid with the Deep blue dye. Only sell this in the UK atm. If you after shipping pre mix abroad you could try a different re-seller of our liquids.

I normally do all my mixing of liquids before going in the system. A lot of people do it in there system but i find to do it out side you can mess up as much as you like and not worry about removing it from your system.

I test all my mixes first in normal tap water + dye and once i found the perfect match i then use ultra Pure H20.

Thanks Mick, now my question goes back to getting a darker colored blue. If all dyes are the same how come feser
one dye/premixed seem to keep their color throughout the tubes and the reservoir? Is there something in their properties that makes it different?

I would provide pictures but I'm using my iPhone, you can find others using feser one dye/premixed blue in the liquid cooling case thread.

[Phaseshift]

As such in this post

[mlwood37]

All the blue are the same its just camera angles, light, tubing ect ect.

again to change it to a deeper colours you can add a darker colour or add more dye how ever don't go to nuts.

This is why we sell the dyes the way we do so that you can make your own colours. If we made just 1 colour people would ask us how to make it darker , lighter ect ect. So instead we let you do that.

Mick do you have an opinion regarding Ice dragon? I would like to find something white to use.
TIA

[mlwood37]

Yeh i think ice dragon is a really good fluid and think its perfect for GPU loops.

Mick, when will you ship to the US again?

[mlwood37]

Once we stop getting hacked yes ...

The only reason why you cannot access our shop in some parts of the US is because weve blocked the ip range the attacks are coming from. Were working on a new web site atm and once that goes live it will be more secure.

You can all ways contact me direct at sales at wc dyes dot com and we will sort some thing out.

All so this thread should change were no longer home made dyes hehe .. were expanding into a new place ..

Thanks for the reply. What dyes would I need to order to get this color? I'm going to get the following currently from your site:

-5 Ltr Mayhems Ultra Pure H20
-Mayhems Silver Coil

Besides the dyes you recommend, should I get anything else, such as biocide?

[mlwood37]

Just deep blue thats all you need a 5ml bottle will do you upwards of 25 Ltrs.

If you what it UV active add UV Clear blue to the mix.

Thanks Mick, just placed an order shipping to California.

[mlwood37]

Hi there im realy sorry if your order is the one ive just refunded we cannot ship 5 Ltr bottle over there. You are better off using distilled water at your end as it would be much cheaper. It will cost us £40 to ship a 5 Ltr bottle of Ultra Pure H20 to you and i feel this would be a complete and utter rip off.

Check your emails. because it was a up because of the hacking that took place. Ill ship your order out minus the Ultra Pure for free. Its not your fault this happened.

Thanks again for everything Mick.

Do you have any pics comparing the uv green and the uv green-yellow both in regular and uv light? I can't seem to decide which one I want. Btw, I signed up on your site but it does not give me any option for international shipping at checkout, ???


Thanks,

-wermad

[mlwood37]

Hi there when we moved over to the new host it dropped all the shipping options. Ive updated these now so you would be able to use them.

UV yellow green looks yellow in a loop under normal light and Green under UV light.
UV Green looks green under normal Light and under UV light looks Green as well.

I have updated the pictures on the site now so you can see the different colours in the dye section of UV and None UV colours.

The site will be changing soon in Nov to a much cleaner and much better looking site. This will be the same time we release Aurora and Pastel range.

[wermad]

Thanks a million

In your opinion, of the two, which one has the most pronounce green under uv light? I'm looking for something along the lines of "toxic" green Thanks,
