Fire-resistant pallets

Pallets are the invisible backbone of logistics, and a serious fire load inside every warehouse. Ours carry the weight without feeding the fire.

Stack of dark mycelium composite pallets in a warehouse

The problem

Timber pallets warp, soak up moisture and burn. Plastic ones melt, and they start life as petroleum.

Our material

Moulded mycelium composite densified and reinforced with carbon for load and flame performance.

Where it goes

Warehousing, cold chain, chemicals, electronics and export logistics.

Engineering the composite

Fire resistance is built into the material, not sprayed on as a coating that wears away in service.

01

Structure

A moulded monolithic deck and blocks. No nails, nothing to delaminate.

02

Fire behaviour

Carbon loading promotes char formation and slows flame spread.

03

Moisture

A sealed surface resists absorption, so the deck does not warp the way timber does.

04

Handling

Standard footprints compatible with existing forklift and racking systems.

Design intent

Everything here is decided in the mould and the formulation. Nothing depends on a coating that wears off in service.

01Flame resistance is inherent, not a surface treatment that degrades in service
02Load ratings targeted at standard static, dynamic and racking duty classes
03Dimensional stability across humidity and cold-chain temperature swings
04No heat treatment or fumigation certification burden for export use
05Qualification with logistics partners is the near-term commercial priority
Work with the material

Sampling, qualification and pilot programmes run out of Hyderabad.
