Plastic Pallets Should Avoid Getting Too Much Exposure To Sunlight During Summer

Apr 14, 2022

As summer is approaching and the weather will get hotter, the use of plastic pallets requires attention to high temperature exposure. Plastic pallets are very popular in the market because of their beauty, convenience and durability. In fact, the use of plastic pallets at high temperature and normal temperature is actually quite different. Modified polypropylene molecules at high temperature will aggravate the movement between each other, which will lead to the problem of softening.


    As far as the general steel structure iron-covered warehouse is concerned, if the outdoor temperature is about 36 degrees, the temperature in the sealed environment will rise by about ten degrees, which means that the working environment of the plastic pallet is close to fifty degrees. We all know that the commonly used modified material plastic trays are recommended to be lower than 90 degrees Celsius in a steam environment, and lower than 70 degrees Celsius in a baking environment, and it is recommended not to exceed 90 minutes in this environment. Obviously, the time at high temperature in warehouse use is much longer than 90 minutes, and it is basically similar to the baking environment, so it is inevitable that the load performance will deteriorate.


    It is recommended to appropriately reduce the dynamic load. For example, Liku grid 1210 plus steel pipe dynamic load of 1.5t can appropriately reduce the dynamic load, which is very important to prolong the service life of the pallet.


    Therefore, customers should place it in a place to avoid direct sunlight after use, and generally will not cause damage under normal outdoor conditions. Some enterprises have been idle for a long time after purchasing, and do not know how to protect them. They are placed outdoors every day, exposed to wind, sun and rain for a long time, which will cause the plastic pallets to break easily and become brittle during use. These are all caused by long-term exposure to the inside of the plastic pallet due to changes in molecular structure.


    Understanding the common sense of the use of plastic pallets and extending the service life of plastic pallets also saves a lot of capital costs for enterprises, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
