Conductive FIBC Bags: Taming Static Electricity for Safer Handling

In industries where flammable materials are present, static electricity poses a significant risk. Conductive FIBC bags, also known as anti-static FIBC bags, provide a reliable solution by safely dissipating static charges, preventing potential sparks and explosions.

Key Features of Conductive FIBC Bags:

 Conductive material: Woven polypropylene with conductive threads or a conductive coating.

 Grounded connections: Equipped with grounding loops or straps to connect the bag to a grounded electrical source.

 Anti-static properties: Reduce the surface resistivity of the bag, facilitating efficient charge dissipation.

 Durable construction: Made from high-strength materials to withstand regular handling and heavy loads.

Dissipative FIBC Bags: Safely Managing Static Discharge

Dissipative FIBC Bags, also known as Type D FIBC Bags, are a specialized type of packaging designed to control static electricity. Unlike Conductive FIBC Bags which quickly dissipate static charges, Dissipative FIBC Bags gradually bleed off static charges, offering a gentler approach for materials sensitive to sudden electrostatic discharge.

Key Features of Dissipative FIBC Bags:

 Anti-static material: Woven polypropylene with anti-static additives or treatments.

 Reduced surface resistivity: Allows static charges to gradually bleed off over time.

 Safe for sensitive materials: Suitable for materials prone to damage from sudden electrostatic discharge.

 Durable construction: Made from high-strength materials to withstand regular handling and heavy loads.

U Panel FIBC Bags: The Workhorse of Bulk Packaging

U Panel FIBC Bags, also known as U-Panel Bulk Bags, are the most popular and versatile type of FIBC bag used for a wide range of dry, flowable materials. Their simple yet effective design offers several advantages over other types of FIBC bags, making them the workhorse of bulk packaging.

Key Features:

 U-shaped panel: The main body of the bag is made from a single large U-shaped panel, resulting in a seamless and spacious design.

 Durable construction: Typically made from woven polypropylene fabric, offering high strength and tear resistance.

 Easy filling and emptying: The wide opening at the top facilitates easy filling, and the bottom discharge design allows for efficient emptying.

 Stackable: U Panel FIBC Bags are designed to stack securely on top of each other, maximizing storage space and optimizing transport.

 Cost-effective: Their simple design and efficient production process make them the most cost-effective FIBC bag option.
