Benefits of ISPM 15 Heat Treatment on Wood Pallets

- ISPM 15 heat treatment protects the wood pallets
from invasive species while crossing
international borders. The international export
standards mandates that ISPM 15 heat-treated
pallets be used for exports.

- In ISPM heat treatment chambers, propane or
natural gas is used. The wood is kept enclosed in
the chamber for 30 mins after being brought to a
core temperature of 56 degrees Celsius. The
temperature is monitored with the help of probes
placed inside the pallets. Computerized
technology ensures that the process is
fool-proof. - Let us look at some of the benefits provided by
the heat treatment method for wooden pallets.
4
Sterilization
- This is an essential requirement for ISPM 15
heat-treated pallets as insects are being
carried in wooden pallets and they can cause
infection among those handling the pallets.
5
Reduces The Weight Of The Pallets
- Heat treatment absorbs the moisture and lightens
the weight of the pallet. Although there is no
drastic weight loss, the small reductions can add
up to the following - Fuel usage is reduced
- More products can be loaded.
6
Meet The Export Requirements
- As mentioned above only ISPM-15 certified wood
crates are allowed to cross borders. This
regulation prevents unknown species from
destroying a foreign environment.

Mold And Bacteria Are Kept At Bay
As wood is a porous material it absorbs moisture
quite easily. Bacteria and mould can attack such
porous surfaces quite easily. These in turn are
transferred to the products being carried on the
pallet. Pest control in UAE provides suitable
heat treatment procedures which ensure that the
products are not rejected on the grounds of
unsanitary conditions. We hope understood the
significance of having ISPM 15 heat-treated
wooden pallet.
