Clear
As with all the ECX colors, Clear 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 have 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 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.
The black background gives a better indication of the coolant color/clarity than the white background. In either case the Clear coolant is very clear with no hint of yellow which we sometimes see in clear coolants:
Left to right the following tubes are set up to help show color and clarity for of the Clear ECX sample:
- Acrylic Res Tube
- 14mm OD Clear PETG tubing
- 14mm OD Clear Acrylic tube
- 3/8 x 5/8 Ultra-Clear Soft tube
- 1/2″ x 3/4″ Adv. LRT soft tube.

The acrylic tube shows off the clear coolant best because it has fantastic clarity itself.
With a black background, white lighting and clear fluid the haziness of Ultra-Clear soft tube becomes more obvious:
Clear is not UV reactive but it is very transparent.
Next up is Clear UV, will it be as transparent?
Outstanding! I checked this out to see how the XSPC coolant looked and see what you folks thought about it in general. As always, ER delivered an article with amazing detail covering things I didn’t think about!
