Abstract

See full text

Black polyethylene storage tanks are an inexpensive and effective way to store water and simultaneously inhibit algae growth. However, based on other considerations, it may be desirable to use a storage tank with a non-black color. By producing a polyethylene water storage tank with a black inner layer and a non-black outer layer, the desire to inhibit algae growth and the desire to have a non-black exterior can both be met.
