Anti-Static FIBC Bags

/11 Comments/in /by

Anti-static FIBC bags are also known as Dissipative FIBC Bags, Type D Bags, or Groundable Bags. These are specialized bulk bags made of antistatic fabric and are designed to prevent the occurrence of flammable sparks during the loading and unloading of flammable material. Such bags are found to be hugely beneficial for transporting hazardous materials.

 

Need for Anti-Static FIBC Bags

When bags are filled or emptied, the flow of finely powdered substances can cause an accumulation of static electricity on top of the filled material and also on the inner walls of the bag. This must be prevented while packaging combustible materials or while the bags are handled in environments where flammable substances are present in the vicinity. If it is not stopped it poses a risk to staff and material. Hence, to carry hazardous materials, use of anti static bags is highly recommended.

Anti-static FIBC Bags or dissipative FIBC bags are made of an anti-static fabric with permanent discharge properties. They have quasi-conductive yarns to dissipate electric charge. They are designed to operate safely in the presence of flammable atmospheres without the requirement of a ground connection. The fabric dissipates the electrostatic discharges by a process called corona discharge. Corona is a form of electrostatic discharge which is low in energy and is therefore incapable of causing fires.

 

Advantages of Using Anti-Static FIBC Bags

There are many advantages in using this type of bulk bag. Flammable materials can be stored and transported. No need for ground connection during filling and emptying. They provide protection against ignition by dissipating charge build up. Filling or emptying can be carried out in flammable environments without the risk of a fire accident. Storage space can be utilized to the maximum as the bags are stackable. As they are flexible there will be no damage during shipping.

When Should You Not Use Dissipative FIBC Bags

Dissipative or anti-static bags are not recommended for use when the bag surface is contaminated by conductive materials like grease or water.

Applications of Dissipative FIBC Bags

Type D bags are one of the most versatile bags. Like other types of FIBCs, anti-static bags come with lifting loops and discharge openings. It could be forklifted and maneuvered easily and is capable of holding huge volumes of materials.

You can safely transport combustible products in them even where grounding is not possible. Anti static bags can also be used for transporting hazardous material even if flammable solvents or gases are likely to be present during loading and unloading.

The common uses include storing of chemicals, petrochemicals, minerals, fertilizers, grains, pigments, plastics, construction materials, and pharmaceuticals.

These bags are eco-friendly as these can be reused and recycled.

What Makes a Food Grade FIBC Bags?

Here we discuss a few parameters you need to look for when buying food-grade FIBC.

Virgin Resin

Food grade FIBC bags are manufactured using 100 percent virgin polypropylene resin. This means the resin used for manufacturing FIBC is free from any recycled material that could potentially contaminate the food you intend to carry in the bag. Such bags are more robust and can withstand storage, lifting, and transport. US FDA regulations make it mandatory to use virgin resin for manufacturing food grade FIBCs.

Third Party Certifications

Certification of quality by reputed third-party agencies such as BRC (British Retail Consortium), SQF (Safe Quality Foods), and the AIB (American Institute of Baking) ensure cleanliness during manufacturing, quality of material used, and trust in the product.

FSMA Certification

Food grade bulk bags now require FSMA certification. This Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) has been created by FDA in the wake of high levels of people falling ill due to food-borne diseases. An FSMA certified product shows that the manufacturer has adhered to mandatory requirements recommended by the FDA. Hence, such bags are safe for use when transporting food materials.

Storage Capacity

When buying bulk bags you necessarily have to check the storage capacity of the bag because if you load more than the specified capacity, the bag is likely to get damaged during lifting and transportation. At Rishi FIBC, our bags come with labels that show their storing capacity. Our technicians will also help you choose the right bag for your needs.

Customization

Food companies usually have specific transportation and storage requirement and hence they require their FIBCs to be customized to their needs.
