Chemical pallets are now available in the Untied States and in Canada from Compliance Packaging International Ltd. CPI offers used chemical pallets and is also licensed to manufacture new chemical pallets under its license CP-984 for companies that want to reduce pallet costs.
The chemical pallet designs were first created by European chemical and plastics companies to standardize pallet sizes.
Over the years many industries have adopted chemical pallets which are meant to be exchangeable and have common standards. In Europe, companies can receive a deposit back from their local pallet company for chemical pallets that they no longer need or have reached the end of life in the supply chain.
Chemical pallets, also known as CP-Pallets or CPs come in nine different types and sizes and are designated as CP-1, CP-2, CP-3, CP-4, CP-5, CP-6, CP-7, CP-8 and CP-9.
The most common chemical pallets used by North American industry, listed in order of most common to least common are the CP3, CP1, CP2, CP6, CP9, and CP8 pallets.
Companies choose to use different chemical pallets based first upon their packaging types including supersacks, steel drums, bags or boxes. Chemical companies as well as other companies must also consider their handling requirements to decide upon which chemical pallet to use for their needs. For example, will the pallets be floor stacked or racked?
If a company is transporting sacks or boxes of any kind, they should consider type 1 or 6 chemical pallets.
Chemical Pallet type 2 was designed to replace the europallet. American exporters sometime substitute this pallet type for the EUR Pallets.
CP 3 and CP 9 pallets were designed to transport super sacks and large drums.
Supersacks are generally the only packaging type that companies ship on CP 8 pallets.
