FPL Composite vs Wooden Pallet
Comparative technical characteristics of FPL composite (plywood + plastic) and traditional wooden production pallets.
| Parameter | FPL Composite Pallet | Wooden Pallet |
|---|---|---|
| Wear resistance | 3–4× higher (mix-dependent) | 3–4× lower |
| Density | 0.73–0.75 g/cm³ | 0.45–0.52 g/cm³ (pine) |
| Elasticity coefficient | ≥ 10,000 MPa | ≥ 10,000 MPa |
| Compaction speed (efficiency) | 10–15% faster, even vibration | Uneven vibration, 10–15% slower |
| Drying / moisture | Does not absorb moisture | Absorbs moisture, needs periodic wetting |
| Shape distortion (warping) | None | Occurs in all wooden pallets over time |
| Weight stability | ±5–6% | Up to ±25% |
| Chemical additive adhesion | Does not adhere, easy to clean | Adheres strongly, hard to remove |
| Clip (gijon) clamping | Not required | Continuous adjustment required |
| Average compressive strength | ≈ 63.08 MPa | ≈ 53.52 MPa |
Conclusion: With higher strength, faster production, more stable weight and a maintenance-free design, the FPL pallet significantly reduces total cost of ownership compared to wood.
Total Cost
Cheap wood costs more
The low unit price of wood turns into hidden costs through frequent replacement, downtime, defective products and uneven vibration. The long life and stable performance of FPL pallets repay the investment quickly.
