Type-A, B &C

TYPE A BULK BAGS

• Type A FIBCs are manufactured using plain-woven polypropylene and other non-conductive fabrics.
• When a product is packed or emptied into a bag, it rubs up against the surface and generates a static charge.
• Should not be used to store a potentially combustible material or used to transport flammable products.
• Type A FIBCs don't give static protection.

Type B FIBC or Bulk Bags

• Also made of plain-woven polypropylene fabrics or other non-conductive material.
• Also do not possess any mechanism for dissipating static electricity.
• Type B FIBC should be handled with more care to ensure your safety.
• Unlike Type A FIBCs, Type B is made from materials that have a low breakdown voltage to prevent an incident were highly energetic, and dangerous propagating brush discharges occur.
• Can transport dry and flammable powders.

Type C bags or Conductive bags

• The non-conductive polypropylene fabrics used to manufacture Type C FIBCs, also known as conductive FIBCs or ground-able FIBCs, are interwoven with conducting threads and conventionally sewed in a grid pattern.
• The non-conductive polypropylene fabrics used to manufacture Type C FIBCs, also known as conductive FIBCs or ground-able FIBCs, are interwoven with conducting threads and conventionally sewed in a grid pattern.
• The safe use of Type C bulk bags depends on maintaining this connection to the earth or ground throughout filling and discharge. Flammable powders can be safely transported.
• Safe in the presence of flammable vapors, gases, dust, or solvents around the bag.
