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.

hile the gridded weave of these bulk bags makes them one of the best conductive FIBC options around, you need to be careful when using them. They’re only electrically conductive if they’re grounded, so extra measures need to be taken during filling and emptying. Clearly defined grounding points will make life easier in this regard. Type C bags also need to be regularly checked for signs of damage. Multiple elements make these bulk bags groundable, including lifting loops and reinforced seams. If any of these are compromised, a Type C FIBC bag may no longer be fit for purpose.
