XSPC ECX Ultra Concentrate Coolant

Clear UV

As with all the ECX colors, Clear UV is packaged in a 110ml capacity plastic bottle that is filled with 100ml of the Ultra Concentrate Coolant.  The key points on the label we addressed on the Introduction and Information page, so there is no need to go over it again here.

The MSDS advised that ECX Concentrate has a pH level between 7.5 – 9.5.
Using a Bluelab pH pen, the reading we got for the Clear UV ECX Concentrate was 8.1.

The 100ml provided is enough to make up 1 liter of solution when mixed 1:9 as instructed on the labeling. For the review we made a small batch using 20ml of ECX Concentrate mixed into 180ml of distilled water.
It certainly appears as though the Clear UV is just as clear as the regular Clear we looked at on the previous page.

Left to right the following tubes are set up to help show color and clarity for each of the ECX samples:

1. Acrylic Res Tube
2. 14mm OD Clear PETG tubing
3. 14mm OD Clear Acrylic tube
4. 3/8 x 5/8 Ultra-Clear Soft tube
5. 1/2″ x 3/4″ Adv. LRT soft tube.

First up is LED lighting at the front and back:
Acrylic again is the clear winner for regular lighting.

The next pic adds additional overhead lighting with just LEDs at the front:

Using a white background and the UV lighting there is very minimal UV effect and again the acrylic tubing has next to no effect.  UV light at the front:
UV light at the back:

With a black background we see things with a bit more clarity. Speaking of clarity, this photo with LED lights at front and back gives us the best view yet at the difference in clarity of the tubes:

Next up is UV lighting with a black background:
The best UV effect is achieved with the UV light in front of the tubes as seen above.

Even with additional UV LEDs at the front, the effect with the UV Cold Cathode tube at the rear is still weaker than the UV alone in front.

Next up we put Green UV under the lights.
