Type C Bags (Conductive Bags)
Type C Bags (Conductive Bags)
Type C FIBC (Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container) bags, also referred to as conductive FIBC bags, are specifically engineered to provide static protection during the transportation and storage of flammable or combustible materials.
Originally, Type C bags were constructed entirely from conductive materials. However, IntraBulk now offers Type C FIBC bags made from non-conductive polypropylene interwoven with conduction yarns in a grid pattern. This process facilitates electrical interconnection of the conductive yarns, which are subsequently linked to designated ground or earth bonding points.
During the filling and emptying stages of bulk bag operations, it is imperative to ensure that the ground or earth bonding points are connected to the system ground or earth. This ensures critical safety when utilizing Type C FIBC bags, as the conductive yarns and their connection to ground or earth provide effective static protection.
However, it’s essential to acknowledge the potential for human errors during the manual execution of interconnection and grounding procedures for Type C FIBC bags. Despite efforts to minimize errors, diligent oversight and adherence to safety protocols remain paramount in ensuring safe usage.
Reasons to Opt for Type C Bags (Conductive Bags)
Type C FIBC bags are engineered to provide static protection during the transportation and storage of flammable or combustible materials. Utilizing conductive fabric or thread, these bags safely dissipate static electricity, preventing potentially hazardous buildup that could ignite flammable materials.
Designed to adhere to various safety standards and regulations such as the ATEX directive and UN certification for hazardous materials transportation, Type C FIBC bags ensure the safe and secure transportation and storage of flammable or combustible materials.
Constructed from woven polypropylene fabric, Type C FIBC bags offer exceptional strength and durability to withstand the weight of their contents. This makes them suitable for transporting and storing heavy and bulky materials.
Type C FIBC bags can be tailored with various features including liners, coatings, and discharge options, catering to diverse application requirements.
With their ability to transport and store flammable or combustible materials such as chemicals, powders, and minerals, Type C FIBC bags exhibit versatility across a wide range of applications.
Offering cost savings over alternative packaging options due to their high capacity and reusable nature, Type C FIBC bags can be utilized multiple times, reducing the need for frequent replacements.
By reducing the risk of fire and explosion, Type C FIBC bags contribute to enhanced safety for workers and facilities. This fosters a safer working environment and minimizes accidents, subsequently reducing costs associated with injury and property damage.
