More InformationHalogen Free Flame Retardant Transport Pallets and Boxes
Uncountable pallets, boxes and other transport containers are being shipped every year, for a wide range of products packaged in such solutions. While wood packaging and pallets used to be standard in the past, this time has long gone.
Hygiene, international shipping, durability and the cost of wood are all reasons that plastics have become more and more important over the years for logistical packaging. But fire safety is a point to be addressed.
Safety and prevention against fire hazards
Safety has become more and more important with a huge amount of goods stored, and logistics containers not only being used in transport, but more frequently also entering the inside of stores and shops.
For US based manufacturers of transport pallets and boxes, this topic has been a centre of attention for some time, as storage insurers have noticed the different behaviour of plastic pallets compared to wood.
Although plastic does not burn more readily, a significantly higher amount of energy is being set free in case of a fire. This demands either higher capacity extinguishing infrastructure, which leads to very high investments, or adaptations to the material used for the transport pallets.
Future-Proof Halogen Free Solution
Targeting the optimal solution, XINOMER was able to provide a performant XFR halogen free masterbatch that not only avoids the generation of toxic halogenated smoke, but also keeps the mechanical strength and load-bearing properties of the pallets and boxes intact.
Meeting the strictest regulations
With the addition of this XFR product, pallets can be designed and manufactured that meet the strict standards set by FM Global, the leading provider of property insurance and loss prevention services in the USA. XINOMER XFR enhanced pallets can be manufactured with equivalent processability and retain their mechanical properties.
