FluidXP got response

I think that's quite expensive for an additive myself. Also, as Diggr said, where's the fun if there's no risk?
That could be solved with coating the die in silver...
If anyone would like a copy of the test results and the first two pages of the MSDS for FluidXP from SF Analytical write me at [email protected] and I will reply copies of the results to you.

in case anyone didn't know, Dtek have dropped their price to $24.99 for 32floz ... and are still doing 10% off orders of $100+...

How much does the electrical conductivity increase by adding the 2 cups or 30% of distilled water?
satanskin
Electrical conductivity will not increase that much at all depending on the quality of the distilled water. What will happen is the other benefits of the other ingredients will be diluted. For instance, the 1-dodeconol is added to produce a pseudo-plastic layer on top of the fluid in the reservoir and other fluid/air interfaces to minimize evaporation and minimizing the Deionized water in the fluid from gaining ions thus increasing ionization, thus increasing electrical conductivity. There might be enough excess 1-dodeconol to still allow this covering but I'm not sure about that.
That's your call.

how does the layer prevent ionization unless it coats every surface in the loop? The blocks themselves will produce ionization - it's been shown that loops that use deionized water for a long time end up with pitted blocks, because the block is releasing ions into the water.
1-Dodeconol
The operative words are "Long Time". Annealed copper takes over two years to show any substantial pitting. Just using deionized water for that long will allow for growth of some pretty nasty stuff not to mention ionization from the air, evaporation and growth of fungus etc. The 1-dodeconol will coat all aspects of the loop. I have removed water blocks and found a white film consistant with 1-dodeconol so some is in the fluid and coating parts as it moves thru the system. How much and if it will keep parts from pitting I couldn't say. If it is being circulated thou most likely it is settling into pits and scratches.

I can see how it would form a layer at a fluid-air interface, but the metal.... Does the non polar end of the 1-dodeconol wet metal parts better than water?
