Types of FIBC Bags

FIBC bags can be grouped into one of four categories: A, B, C, and D. These categories relate to the safety credentials of FIBCs. When bags are filled and discharged, the movement of stored contents can lead to static electricity building up. If you’re dealing with combustible and flammable materials, or working in extreme environments, you’ll need to be using the right type of FIBC bag to ensure optimal safety.

Type A FIBC Bags

Type A FIBC bags are made from polypropylene and offer no protection against static electricity, posing safety risks in hazardous environments. These bags are suitable only for non-hazardous materials and should never be used around flammable gases or combustible materials.

Primary Uses for Type A FIBCs:

  • Transporting non-hazardous materials.

Do NOT use for:

  • Combustible materials.
  • Environments with flammable gases or vapors.

Type B FIBC Bags

Type B FIBC bags do not dissipate static electricity but are made from materials with low breakdown voltage, preventing propagating brush discharges. However, they are not fully antistatic and can pose risks if flammable vapors are present.

Primary Uses for Type B FIBCs:

  • Transporting dry, flammable powders.

Do NOT use for:

  • Environments with flammable gases or solvents.
  • Situations requiring dissipation of electrostatic charges.

Type C FIBC Bags

Type C FIBC bags, also known as electrically conductive or groundable bags, are made from polypropylene interwoven with conductive yarns in a grid pattern. The combination of these interconnected yarns and a ground connection ensures safety, making them ideal for transporting flammable powders.

Primary Uses for Type C FIBCs:

  • Transporting flammable powders.
  • Environments with combustible dusts, gases, or vapors.

Do NOT use for:

  • Absence of a ground connection.

Type D

Type D FIBC bags are static dissipative and made from antistatic fabric, offering protection against sparks and brush charges without needing a ground connection. Often constructed using CHROHMIQ fabric, they eliminate grounding failure concerns, making them highly reliable.

Primary Uses for Type D FIBCs:

  • Transporting flammable powders.
  • Environments with combustible gases, dusts, or vapors.

Do NOT use for:

  • Situations requiring grounding or conductive properties.

Top Construction Options

FIBCs can be better adapted to specific applications with the use of various filling and discharging options. Below, we’ll take a closer look at both.

How to choose the right type of flexible intermediate bulk container (FIBC) bags?

Not all FIBCs are the same, and certain features can expand their usability. For instance, coatings can be added to address specific needs.

Uncoated FIBCs allow finer materials, like powders, to seep through seams and fabric, which may be acceptable when breathability is desired. However, they offer limited protection against moisture and contamination.

Coated FIBCs, with an added polypropylene layer, seal gaps in the fabric and provide better protection against external factors. They are ideal for minimizing waste and storing fine materials like chemicals and powders.

While FIBCs are not inherently waterproof due to their woven construction, coatings and liners can improve water resistance while maintaining breathability.

FIBC’s are a versatile packaging solution used in different industry sectors due to their large capacity, durability, and flexibility in design.
