Brittle plastic pallets are one of the aging phenomena of pallets. pallet aging can cause plastic discoloration, brittleness, and easy breakage. pallet aging refers to the breaking of large molecular chains in plastic, which is easily decomposable and contains different components. Some additives of certain components undergo chemical reactions or volatilization due to light, especially ultraviolet radiation. Some substances in the preservation box undergo changes, causing their original characteristics to disappear, resulting in the aging and brittleness of blue plastic pallets. Plastic board is the most basic container unit in various industries such as production and storage. With the continuous growth of domestic demand, the quality of plastic pallets is increasingly valued, and the correct use and maintenance of pallets is also an essential task.
What are the reasons for the aging and brittleness of plastic pallets
Sunlight exposure can accelerate the aging of plastic products. Due to ultraviolet radiation, plastic pallets will fade and become brittle after long-term exposure. When using pallets outdoors, it is recommended to control the usage time or choose blown plastic pallets with stronger sun resistance.
Plastic pallets are generally made of high-density impact resistant polyethylene material, and there are also plastic pallets made of PP material. The different stability of pallets made from various raw materials is also one of the reasons that affect their brittleness. At the same time, there are also certain differences in the production processes of different manufacturers, such as the melting points of different raw materials. High quality production processes can effectively control every step and produce higher quality plastic pallets.
Recycled plastic pallets themselves have certain disadvantages, as they are more prone to becoming brittle compared to plastic pallets made from brand new materials. Moreover, if there are impurities in the recycled material, it will also affect the quality.
