Waterproof paper-based pallet and method of producing such a pallet

A method of producing a waterproof paper-based pallet having a paper pallet body, the paper pallet body comprising a paper panel having a load-bearing upper side and paper legs connected to the paper panel, characterised by creating a polymeric coating having a thickness of 1 to 8 mm on entire outer surface of the paper pallet body by spraying onto said paper pallet body a sprayable synthetic polymer system selected from the group consisting of a solvent-free polyurethane system, a polyurea system, and a hybrid polyurea system.

A waterproof paper-based pallet with a polymeric coating having a thickness in the range of about 1 mm to about 8 mm, said polymeric coating being the reaction product of a solvent-free isocyanate composition and a resin which is a member of the group consisting of an amine-terminated resin, a hydroxy-terminated resin, and mixtures thereof.
