What material is a plastic tray made of? How do we choose?

What is the material used to make plastic trays? This is a concern for many agents and companies that purchase pallets. Understand the performance and advantages and disadvantages of different materials of plastic trays, so that everyone can choose the tray that meets their hearts faster and better.

Plastic product manufacturers have sorted out the advantages, disadvantages and uses of a plastic tray of different materials for everyone to refer to when purchasing a pallet.

First, polypropylene pure new material

Polypropylene materials, collectively referred to as pp materials. It is a milky white material, compared to polyethylene material, it is fully transparent. Plastic trays made of polypropylene have certain toughness. Its heat resistance is higher than that of polyethylene. However, in low temperature environments, performance will be weakened.

Second, polyethylene pure new material

Polyethylene material is commonly known as PE material, generally used in the production of plastic tray polyethylene is high density impact resistant polyethylene (commonly known as HDPE). This type of material has a fairly good impact resistance and can be used at ultra-low temperatures of -40 °C and high temperatures of 70 °C. The use is relatively broad, and it is a plastic pallet production material that is more purchased on the market at this stage.

3. Recycled materials

There is also a kind of plastic tray, which is produced and processed using recycled materials. There are 2 kinds of plastic trays produced by recycled materials, one is new material plus a small amount of recycling, reducing costs. One is a single-use plastic tray that adds a lot of back material.

Recycling plastic trays, can not produce white, yellow and other light color plastic trays, its hygiene is weak, can not be used in food, pharmaceutical and other companies with higher material regulations. At the same time, the performance of the feed will be slightly worse than that of the new plastic pallet.

The above is the more common production material of plastic pallets at this stage. The pallets produced by polyethylene pure new materials are currently more used on the market. If you must produce pure new materials, or return to produce plastic trays, you must ask in advance.
