When Are FIBC Bags Not Suitable?

Most manufacturers selling bulk products have heard of FIBC (FIBC Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container) bags. Hardy and affordable, they’re versatile enough to package most products.

Before you choose them (or purchase the equipment needed to fill them), make sure that it’s going to suit your packaging needs. Here’s what you can and can’t store in different FIBC bags, so that you can decide if they’re suitable for your business.

Different types of FIBC bags exist, with each possessing different qualities. Type A bags are made from non-conductive fabrics that can safely store non-flammable products in facilities free from flammable elements.

Type B bags are like Type A bags but can break down a low voltage to prevent brush discharges from occurring. They can be used in environments where dust with low ignition energies exist. However, they aren’t suited to environments that need electrostatic charge dispelled.
