What are the advantages of using black compounds over salt and pepper ?
The manufactures of compounded HDPE pipe materials add carbon black and other additives in masterbatch form to the powder HDPE resin, using sophisticated twin screw compounding machines. The use of powder HDPE and intense compounding ensures proper distribution of carbon black in PE and the compound can be straightway used for production of pipe in a pipe extruder. Also the manufacturer of compound takes full accountability and ownership of the quality of the compound. Due to demanding needs of modern installation techniques, and tough service requirements, HDPE pipes are required to safeguard against failures initiating from notches on the pipe surface arising at installation and defects in the pipe wall due to inhomogenity of raw material. High level of product consistency in Pressure Pipes and quality required can only be achieved by using ready made black compounds.
