Type C FIBCs – which are also known as ground-able FIBCs or conductive FIBCs – were originally made from entirely conductive materials. Now, however, they use a conductive surface or network to conduct any growing static charge and move it from the bag to the ground.
These bags have several important characteristics, including:
Made of a non-conductive polypropylene fabric
Conductive threads are usually sewn in a grid pattern throughout the fabric
Conductive threads connect the bag to the ground through a grounding point
Threads are interconnected throughout the bulk bag by sewing several panels of fabric together
Type C Bulk Bags and Safety
Type C FIBCs have been used for years, and they are generally safe – if the user is following every guideline. In other words:
These bags provide safe and effective static protection if, and only if, they do not have any flaws in the manufacturing and are properly grounded.
All of the conductive elements in Type C FIBCs have to be interconnected with the grounding tab – which must be grounded when it’s filled or emptied – in order to ensure safe usage.
The connection to the ground is essential when using these bulk bags.
