Things to Know About Static Protection in FIBC Bags
Chances of build-up of static electricity while filling and discharging Bulk Bags (also called FIBC Bags and Jumbo Bags) are rather high. This calls for adherence to proper safety measures, especially while storing and discharging inflammable and combustible products in Bulk Bags. One way to do this is through the use of specialized bags called anti-static FIBC bags. Anti-static FIBC bags have features that offer protection from hazards that may arise from static electricity build-up, like fire and explosion. There are mainly two specific types of these FIBC Bulk bags — Type C and Type D — that offer static protection. Type C FIBC Bag – Protection Against Electrostatic Charges Type C anti-static Bulk bags are made from PP woven fabric with interwoven conductive yarns which run horizontally or across the bags. Grounding Tabs are sewn on both Bag top seam and bottom seam. This system of interconnection of conductive fabric and groundin...
