Content Inside: Technology Brief Evaluation of Surface Friction of Heavy-Duty, 48 X 48 Pallets Made From Recycled HDPE Materials: The All Service All Packaging (ASAP) company of Green Acres, Washington has designed and manufactured a heavy-duty, pallet specifically for the "heavy capacity" shipment of aluminum and steel coil, made from post-consumer material. The recycled high density polyethylene (HDPE) flake used in manufacturing the pallets was supplied by two different processors. With funding assistance from CWC, ASAP contracted with the William H. Sardo Pallet & Container Research Laboratory at Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University, to conduct evaluations of their coil pallet for the static coefficient of friction (COF), and for strength and durability performance characteristics (Reference PL-97-3) for the "heavy capacity" pallet market. Friction characteristics may affect pallet performance in unit load material handling applications. Because the friction characteristics of plastic and plastic composites are different than solid wood materials, the test objectives were to:
