Time : 2024-07-17

Plastic pallet, it is the use of plastic made of pallets, but there are many types of plastic, how do we judge the identification? The following is a simple guide.

 By observing the appearance of plastic, we can probably determine the type of plastic, thermosetting plastic, or elastomer. If it is thermosetting plastic, it is usually hard and opaque, but if it is transparent, then it contains fillers. If it is an elastomer, it has a rubbery feel and has a certain amount of stretch.

  If these two plastics are heated, they are produced in different states. Thermoset plastics soften and melt easily when heated. And elastomer, it is not flow before chemical decomposition, until after reaching the decomposition temperature is decomposed carbonization.

  In the pallet, plastic pallet and wooden pallet is more commonly used two, then which one is better? For this question, there is no clear standard answer, because it depends on what items the tray is used to carry. If it is acidic liquids, then it is recommended to use plastic pallets, because it can be corrosion-resistant. However, in terms of cost, wooden pallets are lower than plastic pallets, so it depends on the situation to decide.
