Abstract

Wood pallets manufactured by impregnating and coating wood with selected polyurethane resins performed comparably to steel control pallets in decontamination of major chemical warfare agents before and after being subjected to various rough-handling and strength test procedures. Cost calculations showed that the wood pallets would be competitive with steel pallets.
