European Pallet Association
EPAL chemical pallets are ready for the market
In consultation with users in the chemical industry, the European Pallet Association (EPAL) has implemented the requirements for EPAL CP pallets and incorporated them into the EPAL Technical Regulations.
In addition, the EPAL CP pallets were subjected to numerous intensive practical tests in the Dortmund packaging laboratory of the Fraunhofer Institute for Material Flow and Logistics IML. The test results prove the functionality of the EPAL chemical pallets for bagged and drumged goods. They therefore meet the complex requirements of the chemical industry for high-quality wooden load carriers.
Christian Kühnhold, CEO of EPAL: "The feedback from users in the chemical industry on the changed technical requirements was positive in all discussions and we have experienced great acceptance and support for the EPAL chemical pallets. We are now entering the race with the EPAL CP pallets."
EPAL chemical pallets fully meet the demand for IPPC-treated and dried quality pallets that fulfill the safety requirements of the chemical industry. A total of nine different CP pallets (CP1-CP9) are available in various sizes.
