Plasma Green 9010 or 1050?

[LeesRailings]

Hi everyone. Just got my XR set up. Pretty new to plasma tables. I have the Hypertherm 65. I’ve gotten references to get Plasma Green to add to the water. When looking for it, I see the 9010 or the 1050. I don’t know much about it and the descriptions read pretty much the same. Can anyone shed some light on the differences and which one might be the better option? Thank you.

Sterling Cool… I have not had good luck with the green shit. If your heart is set on it, the 1050 is better. It is also more expensive.

whereas I have no other frame of reference, this is what I’m getting in my table using Plasma Green 9010. When water tray additive is needed again, I’ll be trying a different product.

What is this stuff? [goop] I used the Crossfire for the first time this weekend, cutting 1/8" 304 Stainless at 45 amps. The table is filled with well water with Plasma Green 9010 mixed @ 5%. There was a slight coating of mill oil in the water tray and slats, and I applied a small amount of red RTV around the drain fitting. I ended up scooping this stuff out with a piece fine perforated metal (car speaker grill) between programs. It stained my hands badly. Can I expect this brown stuff…

Looks like SterlingCool is the most expensive. 1050 is the least and 9010 is almost as much as SterlingCool. 9010 is supposed to be used if cutting aluminum instead of 1050.

All that being said, I’m seeing more issues reported from either green product. I’m going to give the SterlingCool a shot.

been using it for 4 years…I love it
also get yourself some Ph test strips to make sure you water stays around 9-10
