What is the role of adding carbon black to HDPE double-wall corrugated pipe?

An indispensable material - carbon black. As a commonly used pigment and anti-ultraviolet additive, carbon black plays a key role in improving the performance of pipes. So, what is the role of adding carbon black to HDPE double-wall corrugated pipes? What is the amount of addition?

The amount of carbon black added to HDPE double-wall corrugated pipes is generally about 2% - 3%. Despite this small proportion, it can bring multiple advantages to pipes. The first thing to bear the brunt is the anti-ultraviolet function. UV rays are the "invisible killer" of polymer materials. Long-term exposure to sunlight will destroy the molecular structure of HDPE, causing the pipe to age, become brittle and shorten the service life. Carbon black, with its strong ultraviolet absorption capacity, acts like a solid protective cover, blocking ultraviolet rays outside and effectively delaying the aging process of pipes. Tests have shown that HDPE double-wall corrugated pipes with carbon black added have far lower mechanical properties after 5 years of outdoor use than pipes without carbon black added, greatly improving the stability and durability of the piping system.

In addition to UV resistance, carbon black also plays a role in coloring. Most of our common HDPE double-wall corrugated pipes are black, which is the unique appearance given by carbon black. Black is not only a beautiful color choice, but also has practical functional significance. Black pipes absorb less heat in sunlight, and their surface temperature rises less than other colors. This helps to reduce the expansion and contraction of pipes due to temperature changes, avoid problems such as loosening of interfaces and deformation of pipes caused by thermal expansion and contraction, and ensure that the pipeline system can operate normally under different climatic conditions.

In addition, the addition of carbon black can also improve the mechanical properties of HDPE double-wall corrugated pipes to a certain extent. It can be used as a reinforcing agent, evenly dispersed in the HDPE matrix to enhance the force between molecules, so that the hardness and wear resistance of pipes can be improved. In some projects with high requirements for pipe strength, HDPE double-wall corrugated pipes with carbon black can better withstand external pressure and load to ensure the quality of the project.
