What is the best material and colour for outdoor use?
A: Black vinyl with a UV additive is ideal for outdoor use. For low density polyethylene (LDPE), it is recommended to use black for outdoor applications as this colour offers resistance to ultraviolet rays, as it acts as a natural ultraviolet (UV) stabiliser with 2% carbon-loading. Please get in touch with the technical sales department for this type of application, as there may be other options, depending on the climate where the product will be used.
