 Resins
For Making Pallet Covers
When we buy plastic scrap, we recycle it for making a host of innovative
products such as pallet covers. As a plastic recycler, we recover
plastic materials for a wide assortment of packaging products including
pallet covers. Our resins, NPI – 04HDPE Mixed Color
and NPI – 01LL/LD Mixed Color are all recovered
from plastic scrap and are perfectly suited for making plastic coverings for
products on a pallet. If you manufacture pallet covers and can't afford to
rely solely on virgin resins, we can offer you a reliable source of recycled
plastic resins from several well placed locations across North
America.
What are Pallet Covers?
Pallet covers are thin sheets of plastic material that are used to cover
loaded pallets. They can also be used as large box liners or as liners for a
pallet. They are designed to help prevent dust, temperature extremes, dirt
and moisture from falling on top of the loaded goods. They are especially
useful in covering items such as foodstuffs, meat products and electronic
assemblies. Pallet covers can also be molded into shrink wrap and can later
be recycled for other purposes. The covers can be neatly tucked under the
pallet and stapled or fixed with adhesive tape. They are also commonly used
when moving processed, baked, cooked and fried food products. Fabricated to
fit specific dimensions, pallet covers offer many advantages over simple
tarps or sheeting and are very durable for excellent reusability. Completely
weatherproof protection that saves time, labor and money.
Benefits and Purpose of Pallet Covers
Pallet covers are an ideal solution for product protection and limited
storage space. Industrial covers and industrial tarps are used to protect
machinery, pallets, and building materials from exposure to weather,
sunlight, and other environmental conditions. Covers can consist of rigid
metal sheet, a flexible textile or a semi-flexible plastic. There are many
different types of products. Poly covers and poly tarps are lightweight,
resistant to moisture, and fairly inexpensive. Made from strands of
polyethylene, they are tough and can be used over and over again. As a kind
of packaging material, pallet covers serves a variety of functions:
- Preventing pallets
from touching each other.
- Reduces the risk of
the products leaking while they are being be moved around.
- Will keep products
fresh such as perishables food items like fruit and vegetables. They do
this by reflecting heat and protecting the pallet materials from extreme
temperature variations.
- Save valuable
warehouse space as the pallets are now protected enough to be stored
outdoors.
- Provide for customer
and worker safety as it’s less likely that anyone will find themselves
tripping over wood splinters and loose boards.
Applications
Pallet covers were designed to protect valuable shipments from transportation
mishaps and damage from the elements. They can protect your product from
rain, high winds and snow, and are stabilized against ultraviolet light
degradation. They are also ideal for reducing cargo waste and will protect
temperature sensitive items. Other uses for pallet covers include:
- Will hang in the back
of trucks to prevent weather and road elements from damaging loads.
- Can cover surfaces
while painting, moving, refinishing, or assembly.
- Use with stretch wrap
machines to cover tops of loads.
Choosing the Right Resin for Pallet Covers
Selecting the right resin for making pallet covers involves knowing what the
most important properties of the resin, how these properties are suited for a
molding process and the type of plastic sheeting. The most important property
of our polymers concerns how suited the resin is for the molding process. The
melt index describes the flow behavior that can be expected during
processing. If you're looking for resin to use in blow molding, film
extrusion, pipe and profile extrusion processes, the lower the melt
index, the greater the melt strength will be. If you're looking for
resins for your injection molding process, a higher melt index will mean a
faster melt flow which helps to fill the mold cavities in shorter period of
time.
