The function and application of anti-static plastic pallets
Source: kuda 2025-04-28
Anti static plastic pallet is a logistics carrying equipment made of specially modified polypropylene (PP) or high-density polyethylene (HDPE) as the substrate, and made by adding conductive media such as carbon fiber and metal powder. Its surface resistance value is stable in the range of 10 ^ 6-10 ^ 9 Ω, which complies with the IEC 61340-5-1 international electrostatic protection standard and can effectively control the accumulation of static charges. Unlike ordinary plastic pallets, this type of pallet achieves charge balance dissipation through a conductive network structure, making it particularly suitable for industrial environments that are sensitive to static electricity.
Core functions and diverse applications
In the electronic product manufacturing workshop, anti-static pallets can reduce the static voltage by 3000-5000V, avoiding the breakdown of precision components. In the semiconductor packaging process, the static dissipation time is controlled within 2 seconds (ASTM D257 standard), which reduces the risk of static discharge by 60% compared to metal pallets. The pharmaceutical industry utilizes its dust-free properties and, when used in conjunction with cleanrooms, can reduce particle pollution by over 90%. In the field of chemical engineering, explosion-proof pallets can suppress dust explosions and increase the ignition energy threshold to over 10mJ (in compliance with ATEX directives), providing safety guarantees for hazardous material storage.
Advantages of Engineering Design
The modular embedded structure enables the loading capacity of the pallet to reach 3 tons (ISO 6780 standard), and the conductive grid design increases the structural strength by 30%. The anti-static layer formed by integrated injection molding has a bonding force of 15MPa with the substrate, ensuring stable performance within a 10-year service life cycle. The detachable anti slip strip design ensures a friction voltage below 100V, and when used in conjunction with a grounding system, it can establish a complete electrostatic protection system (ANSI/ESD S20.20 standard). The specifications cover 8 industrial standard sizes, including 1200 × 1000mm, and support customized needs such as dedicated grooves for circuit boards.
Industry penetration and development prospects
The current penetration rate of anti-static pallets in the 3C manufacturing industry has reached 75%. With the annual production of IoT devices exceeding 10 billion units, the market demand maintains an annual growth rate of 15%. The application of new carbon nanotube composite materials reduces product weight by 20% and improves conductivity by 40%. The intelligent pallet integrates RFID and electrostatic monitoring modules, which can transmit environmental ESD data in real time, promoting the intelligent transformation of the manufacturing industry towards electrostatic protection in Industry 4.0.
This type of engineering plastic product is evolving from a simple logistics vehicle to a key component of an intelligent manufacturing system, and its technological evolution continues to drive the quality upgrade of precision manufacturing industry. With the exponential increase in electrostatic protection requirements for 5G communication equipment, technological innovation in anti-static plastic pallets will become an important factor affecting industry competitiveness.
