Advantages of New Chemical Pallets and Used Chemical Pallets

by Ron Wood

Chemical pallets are now available in the Untied States and in Canada from Compliance Packaging International Ltd. CPI offers used chemical pallets and is licensed to manufacture new chemical pallets under its license CP-984.

Over twenty five years ago chemical and plastics corporations in Europe decided to unify common chemical pallet sizes for the transport of chemicals and polymers.

Over time a number of other industries began moving goods on chemical pallets and recognized the value of having harmonized sizes and standards. In Europe, chemical pallets are exchangeable and possess a deposit value when returned to a pallet company.

Some users refer to chemical pallets as CPs or CP Pallets. Chemical pallets come in nine different design types and sizes.

The most common CP Pallets found in the United States are the CP3, CP1, CP2, CP6, CP9, and CP8.

Like other packaging types, users have to consider two factors when choosing a chemical pallet for transport. First, how will the pallet be handled in the supply chain? Will the pallets be racked or floor stacked? Second, users have to determine what type of packaging will ride on the chemical pallets in transport. Chemical and plastics companies generally move their products using boxes, drums (plastic and steel), bags or supersacks.

If a company is transporting sacks or boxes of any kind, they should consider type 1 or 6 chemical pallets.

American export firms sometime use CP 2s instead of euro pallets when shipping goods to Europe because they are the same size 800 x 1200 mm.

When transporting super sacks and large drums, users can choose between the CP 3 and CP 9.

The Chemical Pallet 8 is only meant to move super sacks.
