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.

As such, Type A FIBC bulk bags aren’t suitable for transporting or storing hazardous or combustible materials. Furthermore, you should avoid using these bulk bags in combustible or high-temperature environments.
