I am no chemist but let's see... the most commonly used Tygon tubing, with computer water cooling crowd that is, would be R-3603. The name "laboratory & vacuum" sort of hints to a chemically resilient material and that's exactly what the product specs strongly suggest. Here's a quick link to that: http://www.tygon.com/media/documents...3/tygr3603.pdf

Zerex on the other hand is simply a corrosion inhibitor, the most popular being "Racing Supercoolant" which is touted to have better cooling efficiency than your "regular" mix of antifreeze and water.
A link to some info on that : http://www.valvoline.com/zerex/
Long story short, yes, it does, but not in a negative way, so the answer is no!
The only visible effect would be color. A girly pink, which may go a long way with chicks. It's a well known fact that a typical Zerex using computer water cooling enthusiast is commonly perceived by women as " more sensitive".
