Durostone CCR/Durapol IGM L200/Glastic CBC are the premier composites in the pallet industry.
The materials specification data listing below [DMI International 800-886-1468] represents typical results obtained from production materials commonly used. Material properties may vary but each listed product meets all applicable NEMA standards. The listed data is a relative measurement to Durostone, the industry�s most widely used material. The �Heat Cycles� column is used to show the material life expectancy of a pallet when ten pallets are continuously used in the manufacturing process. The ten-pallet usage allows sufficient cool down time for maximum pallet life. Using fewer pallets in a continuous operation will offer smaller cycles, increasing actual material degradation.
