Plastic objects, including plastic pallets, can become statically charged through friction. This charge usually dissipates upon contact with another type of material. A common example in daily life is experiencing a small electric shock when opening a car door. However, with pallets, this static charge is highly undesirable. Statically charged objects attract dust, which can affect the shelf life or quality of the load. For electronic products, static electricity can even cause irreversible damage.

To prevent these issues, Q-PALL can equip pallets with a balanced combination of synergistic antistatic additives that directly reduce the surface conductivity of polyethylene. Contact us for more information or specific requirements for your applications.
