How Type D Anti-Static FIBCs Ensure Safe Transport of Flammable Powders
Anti-static FIBC bags, also known as Dissipative FIBC Bags, Type D Bulk Bags, or Groundable Bags., are widely used for the storage and transportation of hazardous materials. Let’s delve into how these bags function and why they are chosen for such applications. What are Type D Anti-Static FIBC Bags? Anti-Static Jumbo Bags or dissipative FIBC bags are manufactured from an anti-static fabric with permanent discharge properties. They need quasi-conductive yarns to dissipate charge. They’re designed to work safely within the presence of flammable atmospheres without the need of a ground connection. During the process of filling or emptying, the movement of the particles on the surface of the bag causes static electricity accumulation on the inner walls of the bags. If not handled carefully it could lead to accidents especially in the presence of flammable materials in close proximity of the bags. Therefore, it is highly recommended to use Type D Bags while dealing with hazardous substan
