🙋‍♂️Coolant: FAQ's

Are any of your coolants toxic?

Primochill coolants are designed to be non-toxic, but their composition can change over time with usage. Therefore, it is important to handle the coolant carefully. Our products are not intended to be ingested and should be kept away from children and animals. Safety data sheets are available for each coolant, and it is recommended to consult them for detailed safety instructions.

What’s the difference between Ice and Pure?

Ice coolant is engineered to be a hassle-free solution that you can simply fill and forget about. It contains corrosion inhibitors and biocides to ensure your system stays clean with minimal maintenance required.

On the other hand, Pure coolant is specially designed to enhance your system's thermal efficiency. While it also contains corrosion inhibitors and biocides, they are adjusted to optimize performance. To uphold its superior performance, it is recommended to replace Pure coolant every 6-8 months, depending on usage. Ice coolant can last up to 12-16 months depending on usage.

Can I add dye to Opaque?

It is generally not advisable to add dye to opaque coolants, as these coolants are already formulated with their own pigments and additives that may not interact well with additional dyes. This may impact the coolant's performance or its appearance and can potentially causing issues like clogging.
