What's New: Flame Retardancy...

PDQ PLASTICS INC. ANNOUNCES THE ADDITION OF FLAME RETARDANCY TO ITS PALLET LINE

In cooperation with a leading compounder of Flame retardant additives, PDQ PLASTICS, long known for its leadership in the production of heavy duty Plastic Pallets, has announced that it now offers its complete Pallet line molded from UL 94-V2 Flame Retardant material.

"Our goal was to add the feature of flame retardancy to the proven pallet designs that we have been offering to our customers for years," said Barry Nathans, PDQ president. "We didn't want to have to come up with a compromise design just to make it fit the processability issues of the flame retardant materials that are currently available. We wanted to make the pallets that our customers have come to rely on, only make them flame retardant. There was also the issue of cost. A flame retardant pallet that is not cost effective over the life of the pallet makes no sense. We know our pallets have the reputation of lasting far beyond the pay-back point, and we didn't want our FR pallets to be an exception to that rule."

Hartson Poland, PDQ VP of Operations added, "We also like our traditional solid deck design when it comes to the issue of fire protection. Safety literature has always pointed out the advantage of a solid deck over open grids or spaced slats (on pallets) when faced with the upward migration of a fire. We also didn't want to move away from our commitment to solid, non foamed material."

"Our FR material passes UL flame class 94 V-2," stated Mr. Nathans. "And the fact that we can mold any of our pallet designs from that same material gives our customers selection options that are not available elsewhere in the industry.
