Bulk Bags (FIBC)

Type B FIBC are similar to Type A FIBC in that they are made from plain polypropylene or other non-conductive materials. Like Type A bulk bags, Type B bulk bags do not have any mechanism for dissipating static electricity. The difference is that Type B bulk bags are made from materials that have a low breakdown voltage to prevent the occurrence of highly energetic and dangerous propagating brush discharges (PBD).

Type B Bulk Bags can sustain voltage of up to 4 kV. Because of this low breakdown voltage, Type B bags prevent sparks and propagating brush discharges. 

Safe for:

- non-flammable materials

- non-combustible materials

Type B bags should not be used in environments containing flammable solvents or gases. For materials that are flammable or combustible, use Type C Conductive or Type D bags.

 
 

Type A is the standard type of Bulk Bag (FIBC).  

Type A Bulk Bags are made from plain polypropylene or other non-conductive materials. It is the most commonly used FIBC. Type A bags do not dissipate static electricity. They must therefore be stored in an environment free of flammable solvents or gases. Over 95% fo the bags used in the industries are Type A bags.

In common use, bulk bags that are not labelled as Type B, Type C or Type D, can be assumed to be Type A.

Safe use:

  • To transport non-flammable products
  • When no flammable solvents or gases present around the bag

Do not use:

  • To transport flammable products
  • When flammable solvents or gases are present around the bag
 

 

Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers (FIBC), also called Bulk Bags or Super Sacks, have been gaining popularity since the introduction of woven polypropylene about 50 years ago. Today, the use of bulk bags in North America is widely accepted, and continues to grow in many applications. We offer a wide range of bulk bags with different designs, from the normal Type A to the groundable Type C and Crohmiq Type D, as well as UN and Clean Room bags. Some of them can be readily applicable to your use, and we can also modify or change the designs to suit your specific handling and storage needs. We print the artwork on the bags according to your specification. Please contact us if you have a need and we will be glad to work with you.
