What are the effects of high temperature and ultraviolet rays on PVC rectangular water tanks?

As a common water storage equipment, PVC rectangular water tank is often used in agriculture, industry and civil fields. However, long-term exposure to high temperatures and ultraviolet rays will cause a series of effects, threatening its stable operation and service. This article will explore the effects of high temperature and ultraviolet rays on PVC rectangular water tanks and how to effectively deal with these problems.

PVC rectangular water tanks are prone to aging when exposed to high temperatures and ultraviolet rays for a long time, which manifests as hardening, brittleness, and loss of elasticity, thus affecting the overall performance of the water tank. The hardening and brittleness of the PVC rectangular water tank will cause its compressive strength to decrease, making it prone to cracking, leakage and other problems, affecting the normal use of the water tank.

After being exposed to ultraviolet light for a long time, the color of the surface of the PVC rectangular water tank will gradually fade and lose its original luster and beauty. The fading of the surface color not only affects the aesthetics of the water tank, but also reduces its ability to resist ultraviolet rays, further accelerating the aging rate of the PVC material. PVC rectangular water tanks are prone to cracks and water leakage under the action of high temperature and ultraviolet rays, seriously affecting their normal water storage function. Cracks and leaks will lead to water pollution and waste of water resources in water tanks, seriously affecting applications such as farmland irrigation, industrial production, and civil water supply.

When installing a PVC rectangular water tank, you should choose a well-shaded location to avoid prolonged exposure to the sun and minimize ultraviolet exposure. Clean the surface of the water tank regularly and apply sunscreen or special care agent to slow down the aging of PVC materials. Covering the outer surface of the water tank with a sun protection cover or using a sunshade net can reduce the direct exposure of the water tank to ultraviolet rays. Regularly check the surface of the water tank for cracks and leaks, and promptly repair or replace damaged parts to ensure the normal use of the water tank.

High temperature and ultraviolet rays are one of the main challenges faced by PVC rectangular water tanks. Long-term exposure to these factors can easily lead to aging of the water tank material, color fading, cracks and leaks. By taking effective protective measures and regular maintenance, the aging rate of water tank materials can be slowed down, and its important role in agriculture, industry and civil fields can be better played, and reliable water storage and services can be provided for people.
