High Density Polyethylene (Black) 6B (Material Type: Jacketing HDPE)

High Density Polyethylene (Black) 6B:

High Density Polyethylene (Black) 6B is a specific grade of HDPE that is black in color, with the designation 6B indicating a particular formulation or product line from a manufacturer.

High Density Polyethylene (HDPE)

• A strong, rigid thermoplastic polymer

• Density typically around 0.94–0.97 g/cm³

• Excellent chemical resistance, impact strength, and moisture resistance

• Widely used in piping, containers, industrial parts, and more

Black Color

• Achieved by adding carbon black pigment

• Provides enhanced UV resistance and weatherability

• Suitable for outdoor use and environments with sunlight exposure

Grade 6B

• A manufacturer-specific grade indicating certain mechanical and processing properties

• Usually implies:

  • Good machinability

  • Balanced rigidity and toughness

  • Enhanced impact resistance

  • Suitable for extrusion, injection molding, or rotational molding

Common Applications:

• Outdoor piping and fittings
• Containers and tanks
• Automotive parts
• Agricultural equipment
• Electrical conduit and cable sheathing
• High Density Polyethylene for Jacketing Optical Fiber
• Material type: HDPE (Black) – Grade: 6B
