Can I use a mixture of car radiator fluid and distilled water in an alphacool radiator?

Hello.
I'm trying to find out if I can use a mixture of 80% distilled water and 20% Liqui moly raf12+ in an alphacool radiator. I know it says on the product description to only use clear distilled products, and Liqui Moly Raf 12+ isn't exactly clear, but it also isn't completely pastel, like what is said to be explicitly not used in alphacool radiators.

Unfortunately, I can't answer that. We haven't had anything to do with this coolant so far. I'm just surprised that the description explicitly mentions aluminum but not copper. But since it is based on ethylene glycol, there should probably be no problems. But I can't assure you of that.
We have something similar called GL50. We use it in server systems. However, this is mixed to a maximum of 50:50. We have not had good experiences with a 20:80 mixing ratio, as you are aiming for. Only 50:50 or 100% always worked perfectly for us here.
