Whenever it comes to car tyres, a black colour image comes to our mind. Similarly, when we imagine an umbrella, most people have a black coloured umbrella in their mind. For years we have been seeing black tyres and usually black coloured umbrellas, but have you ever wondered why their colour was chosen as black? There is an interesting reason behind this. Let’s find out.
Why is the color of the umbrella black?
First of all, let’s talk about black umbrellas. You will mostly see black umbrellas in the market. However, nowadays umbrellas with colorful and different designs are also available, but in old times or generally, black umbrellas are sold more. The color of the umbrella is often black because black color absorbs the most rays of the sun. This keeps the place under the umbrella cool, because black color absorbs the heat of the sun and stops it outside the umbrella. Apart from this, black umbrellas also show less dirt and dust, due to which they look clean for a long time.
Why are car tyres black?
Talking about the black tyres of vehicles, first of all you should know that rubber is used to make tyres. The colour of this rubber is white but it is so soft that it gets damaged very quickly after being worn out. Vehicles last for years, so different materials are used in rubber to make it stronger.
Carbon and sulfur are added to make it hard. This is the reason why the color of the tires is black. If carbon and sulfur are not added to the rubber, then the tires made from it will be of very poor quality. At the same time, these tires will wear out and get damaged even with little use. This is the reason why tires are black and not colorful. The UV rays of the sun do not have a bad effect on black tires.
