P483JU enhances properties of pallets
Publish On 30, Mar 2017 | P483JU enhances properties of pallets
Pallets are indispensable equipment for Thailand’s logistical system, and in addition to transporting goods, they also form an integral part in pallet storage systems, which help ensure organized storage. Therefore, to accommodate the need for pallets across different industries, it is necessary to develop pallets of higher quality and greater durability that cost less to produce but have an increased surface area to support goods.
SCG Chemicals has therefore introduced P483JU plastic resins to the production of pallets as a replacement of HDPE plastic resins to enhance the properties of the pallet for logistics and storage as well as to help reduce various business costs. Tests conducted on pallets made of P483JU plastic resins have revealed that their properties are superior in every aspect.
1.Quality:
P483JU pallets demonstrate all the properties required for their usage such as the ability to withstand compression, inclined impacts, drops, and racking forces, affording them resistance to deformation and making them suitable for heavy loads. In a dynamic test using a two-ton load, these pallets have also shown less deformation compared to HDPE pallets counterparts. In addition, P483JU pallets also offer a higher production rate within the same amount of time.
Comparison between P483JU and HDPE
– P483JU pallets can withstand 31% more compression compared to HDPE pallets.
– P483JU pallets can withstand five times more inclined impact compared to HDPE pallets.
– P483JU pallets are five times more capable of withstanding drops compared to HDPE pallets.
– P483JU pallets can withstand 53% more racking forces compared to HDPE pallets.
– P483JU pallets show 57% less deformation under a load of two tons compared to HDPE pallets.
2.Management and logistics:
P483JU plastic resins have lower density, which makes each pallet lighter and facilitates logistical management.
Comparison between P483JU and HDPE
– P483JU pallets are 8% lighter than HDPE pallets.
3.Environment:
P483JU plastic pellets can be reused without degrading. Because of its reusability and ability to retain its original properties, this development is considered an astounding success.
