Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about heat treated pallets

Does heat treatment weaken the wood?

No. Heat treatment at ISPM-15 temperatures does not significantly affect wood strength or structural integrity.

How long is HT certification valid?

The certification remains valid as long as the pallet isn't contaminated or significantly repaired with non-treated wood.

Can repaired pallets be heat treated?

Yes, but any replacement boards must also be heat treated, or the entire pallet must be re-treated.

How quickly can you treat pallets?

Standard turnaround is 2-3 days. Rush service is available for same-day or next-day treatment.
