Purified Titanium Dioxide and Copper??

[Gazmtk]

OK so I have recieved my water food colouring, tho I have a problem, it has Purified Titanium Dioxide in it and mixing with Copper is it going to cause galvanic corrosion? I tried to do my home work before posting but I just couldn't work it out, I know Titanium is very resistant to corrosion, and copper is somewhat, but is there any chance still? :confused:

Nah you're good to go as far as Galvanic Corrosion goes.

Now I have no idea how this stuff will act in your loop.... it could possibly separate over time causing it to gunk up your blocks, it could stick to the sides of your tubes and stain them... the list goes on and on.

For a rough reference on which metals could subject to galvanic corrosion, I found this (http://corrosion.ksc.nasa.gov/galcorr.htm). If you aren't sure what the chart means, look at it this way: The further apart two metals are on that list, the more likely they are to corrode.

Basically copper is more "neutral" while Titanium could be considered a "less" reactive neutral. There is a lot more that goes into this and I just extremely dumbed this down lol, but yeah you're fine to add that into your loop.

There is a math that goes along with this, and each metal has a value, from there you can more accurately figure out which metals are subject to corrosion in the presence of an electrolyte (water).

Reference One (http://www.engineersedge.com/galvanic_capatability.htm) - Rough write up on the Anodic Index and the values of some metals.
Reference Two (http://steel.keytometals.com/Articles/Art160.htm) - Good write up that's easy to understand.
Reference Three (http://www.corrosionist.com/Galvanic_Corrosion.htm) - Love the chart on this page.

Hope this helps.

Gazmtk, you are trying to have white coolant ? Titanium dioxide is a colouring agent used to whiten stuff.

[Cutless009]

White coolant would be the shit.

USE MILK!!! heheh

[Cutless009]

or nano-fluid, or whatever it was that guy tested, cept that shit is retarded expensive.

Nanofluid is basically Aluminium Oxide and Titanium Dioxide diluted in nano particles, hence the name.

Where did you get it?

Titanium dioxide is very stable, it should be the equivalent to adding stone to your loop.

Yeh Im trying for white coolant, and as for Nano Fluid I have PM'ed the guy multiple times as well as put it in threads he is active in, and no response, so being blunt he can go fuck himself, I was a potential customer, now I am actively seeking other forms to achieve my goal! ;)
As for gunking up you may be right, I have done some test already and under heat (60degrees Celsius) it separates, but I did mix in alot so it might be the water can absorb anymore? I am gonna have to plus with concentrations and once I have worked out if it’s gonna gunk then test it in a test loop before putting it in an active system.

nanofluid is not on sale, he really only responds to people who meet his needs for beta testing. Too bad until the stuff is on sale it can't easily be brought into Canada, as I was one of the people that he responded to for testing. :(

that nano shit is VERY Electric Conductive .. IE ; it make yer tubing into wires

it is SHIT !

looks cool BUT is shit with a white color ..

& UBER expensive Shit ..

use malox laxitive that works great (Great White Color ,Minty Fresh TOO !) smooth as silk in the Morning .. Ahh what a relief it is !! .................................................. ........2 bucks a bottle .... Cheap shit !
