As they are made from woven polypropylene, Type A FIBC bags offer no static protection. If you’re using one of these as an intermediate bulk container, the material inside can produce static electricity when it rubs against the bag itself. This is even more of an issue when it comes to filling and emptying bulk bags.
At first glance, Type B FIBC bags might look indistinguishable from Type A big bags. They boast a similar construction, although the material uses a lower breakdown voltage, making these bags slightly more conductive. In certain situations, Type B bags can be used as intermediate bulk containers for transporting some combustible materials, such as dry powders.
By contrast, FIBC Type C bags are considered conductive. The woven construction and non-conductive material grounds electrostatic charges, making FIBC Type C bags suitable for hauling flammable items. They’re also suitable for use in environments where flammable gasses, vapors, and dust are present.
Type D FIBCs are a more practical choice for demanding environments. As with Type C bags, Type D anti-static FIBC bulk containers are resistant to brush discharges and sparks. However, the key advantage here is they don’t need to be grounded during filling and emptying. This can speed up workflows considerably and puts less stress on health and safety personnel.
