Opaque white
Pigmented white HDPE cuts light transmission by reflecting and scattering it. Use where light protection matters and a cooler, cleaner appearance is wanted; white can limit heat build-up compared with a darker bottle.

Overview
A translucent IBC is a poor fit when the filling good is affected by sunlight, UV or visible light. Prolonged exposure can discolour a product, drive oxidation or photochemical change, weaken actives, or shift stability through storage, handling and transport. GNX LP (Light Protect) uses pigmented HDPE so less UV and visible light reaches the liquid. The inner container is specified opaque white or black; the pack stays a 1,000-litre GNX IBC for forklift handling, stacking and controlled discharge. Specify GNX LP when light can change the quality, stability or chemistry of the product. Food-contact and pharmaceutical duties still need the customer’s material, cleanliness and regulatory approvals — light protection is not a substitute for those.
Black
Carbon-black pigmentation in HDPE absorbs UV and visible light strongly. Use for highly photosensitive goods, outdoor staging, and chemicals whose quality is affected by light. Black generally blocks more light than white; the black inner is specified at 0 permeation across 200–780 nm.
Product quality
Lowers the risk of light-driven degradation, discoloration and formulation change.
Outdoor logistics
Extra protection when IBCs see sunlight in transit, at the dock or in temporary yard storage.
1,000-litre handling
Light protection in the same GNX bulk format: forklift access and controlled discharge.
High-value liquids
For specialty chemicals, pharmaceutical ingredients and other high-value fills, packaging choice is part of keeping the product in spec.
Bottle as well as contents
UV also ages HDPE; a light-protect bottle helps the container under prolonged solar exposure.
