Why use black HDPE pipes?

HDPE pipes are transported and stored in open atmosphere for considerable length of time before installation. Many pipes are installed above the ground in open sunlight. The UV rays in the sunlight, on prolonged exposure, breaks the molecular chains of PE and produces free radicals. These free radicals continue the process further. As a result, polyethylene pipes lose their flexibility and toughness over a period of time.
