What are the different types of FIBC bags available?

Sudarshan Addpack is a renowned FIBC bags supplier that is known for its quality and designed to meet different industrial requirements worldwide. Working with a high sense of professionalism, we provide a wide scope of FIBC solutions, which can easily satisfy the needs of different industries.

Types of FIBC Bags available are:
Type A FIBC:

These bags are the non-types of bulk bags which are the simplest form of these bags and are made from plain woven polypropylene fabric. They do not have any special electrostatic protection and they are used for non-flammable nonstatic sensitive articles. Some examples are sand, gravel, and some agricultural outputs.

Type B FIBC:

Type B bags are constructed from non-conductive polypropylene fabrics unlike Type A bags but they do not have any mechanism or feature to reduce or in any way eliminate the formation of static electricity. They can be effective in preventing the formation of the incendiary sparks but at the same time, they can contribute to the brush discharge propagation if the static charge is accumulated. They are useful for the transportation of various highly flammable products in areas with a low possibility of static generation.

Type C FIBC (Grounded):

These bags are made from a combination of polypropylene fabrics that are non-conductive but have an interwoven thread which is conductive. They have to be earthed during filling and emptying to counter static charges building up. That effectively reduces any static electricity and hence reduces incidences of incendiary sparks and propagating brush discharges. Type C bags are mainly used for the carriage of inflammable powdered or liquid substances.

Type D FIBC (Antistatic):

Type D bags are manufactured from antistatic fabrics, which means that the fabric will not lead to the generation of incendiary sparks and propagating brush discharges while the bag is not grounded. On the other hand, they are more effective against static electricity, though they are not as conductive as Type C bags. Type D bags are suitable for handling flammable materials however, they should not be used in a highly flammable or high explosive environment.

Baffle Bags:

Baffle bags are bags whose inner surfaces have baffles or panels that serve to keep the bags almost cubic or rectangular when filling them. This design minimizes bulging and sagging and enhances the stackability and stability of the bottles during distribution and especially during transport and storage. Transit dusting pipes are typically employed for moving powdery and granular materials.

UN Certified FIBC:

These bags meet United Nations packaging requirements for conveying hazardous materials according to the kind of potentially harmful chemical or product within the bag. They are critically tested before being approved to contain and transport materials that are harmful or life-threatening to the health and safety of the environment.

Liner Bags:

Liner bags are placed inside FIBCs to use the extra protection against moisture, contamination and possible leakage of the product. they are regularly employed for products that must be hermetically sealed or made water-resistant including foodstuff, medicals and chemicals.

Ventilated FIBC::

These bags have layers or sections of breathable fabrics or mosquito nets for circulation of air to avoid condensation of moisture which can spoil the quality of stored products. A ventilated FIBC can be used to transport agricultural products [maize, wheat, barley, potato, beans, peas, and so on] and some materials that absorb moisture.

TIn conclusion, All types of FIBCs have their specific functions and are created and built to match the requirements of the various markets and applications of the bulk transport of materials.
