What are FIBC’s commonly used for?

FIBC’s are commonly used for dry flowable products such as, but not limited to grains, seeds, salts, powdered coatings, sands, clays, cement, ferroalloys, and resins.  They are frequently used in the food, pharmaceutical, agricultural and chemical industries. 

What is Labels GHS ?

Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS)

What is Type B FIBC?

FIBCs made from plain polypropylene or non-conductive materials having a breakdown voltage not exceeding 6 kV. 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. This reliably prevents the ignition of explosive dust atmospheres while explosive gas atmospheres can still be ignited.

What is Type D FIBC?

FIBCs made from non conductive materials containing an arrangement of conductive fibres which have no electrical contact to each other. These FIBCs are not conductive but enable a certain charge dissipation into the environment via corona-effect. Grounding of a Type D FIBC is not possible.

What is UV protection?

A feature of an FIBC fabric that provides protection from prolonged exposure to the sun’s degrading UV rays.  An additive is blended with the resin prior to extrusion of the yarns to provide this protection.  UV protection performance should be evaluated per the procedures set forth in the ISO 21898 standard.

What is IEC 61340-4-4?

Part 4-4: Standard test methods for specific applications - Electrostatic classification of flexible intermediate bulk containers (FIBC)
