Reasons Why Conductive Bags Are Growing in Popularity - Bulk Corp International

1. A Quick Guide to Jumbo Bags Types

3. Reasons Why Conductive Bags Are Growing in Popularity • The popularity of FIBCs (Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers) has grown immensely in recent years. There are various types of FIBC bags or bulk bags used for the storage and transportation of bulk goods like chemicals, petrochemicals, minerals, food, seeds, and agro-products. • Conductive Bags or Conductive Type C Bags refer to the class of FIBCs designed for transporting hazardous material that can get ignited due to the presence of electrostatic discharge. Conductive packaging bags are getting increasingly popular for use in flammable and combustible environments and for storing highly sensitive material

4. What are Conductive Type C Bags? • Conductive bags are industrial containers extensively used in bulk material packaging and transportation. These bags carry highly sensitive products which accumulate high electrostatic charges during the filling and discharging process. These charges may cause instant explosions in hazardous environments or in the presence of inflammable substances. • Conductive Type C Bulk Bags must remain grounded consistently while filling and discharge of contents. This allows any electrostatic charge that builds up due to fast loading and unloading, to immediately exit the bag and get grounded via the network of conductive fibers woven into the bag. Once grounded, the entire bag becomes safe from sparks or hazardous events.

5. How Conductive Type C Bags Work? • Conductive Type C bagsare made of non-conductive polypropylene fabrics interwoven with conductive carbon, silver core or steel threads. The inter-weaving is done in a grid pattern with the conductive threads at a specified distance apart, so as to create a Faraday cage. The grid connects the bag to ground via a grounding point. As a result, when one part of the conductive bag gets connected to a grounding cable, or comes in contact with any other grounded conductor, the whole bag becomes safely grounded. Once grounded, the bag cannot hold on to sufficient electrostatic energy to cause explosion or hazard. • However, if the Type C FIBC becomes ungrounded for any reason during filling or discharging, it can cause an extremely hazardous and explosive situation. Handling personnel must take great care and ensure a positive ground is achieved and maintained before starting to load/unload. • A trusted Conductive Type C Bulk Bags Supplier like Bulkcorp International can provide you with the right Conductive Bags to suit your exact needs, while keeping your workforce and facility safe. 

6. Why Use Conductive Type C Bulk Bags? • Conductive packaging bags are the most common type of FIBCs used in sensitive, flammable and combustible environments. There is a large demand for these types of packages to mitigate static discharges in the process. These bags are very safe when used properly and consistently. They are frequently used to transport and deliver hazardous chemicals, granules, powders, etc. which may cause electrostatic discharge, leading to dangerous events. • Growing safety awareness and stringent government regulations are driving more and more businesses to opt for Type C bags to avoid the risk of discharge ignition while carrying sensitive products with optimum cost-efficiency. • Contact Bulkcorp International, the leading Conductive Bags Exporter for your FIBC needs.
