FIBC Type B
Type B Bulk Bags
Type B FIBCs are similar to Type A bulk bags in that they are made of plainwoven polypropylene fabrics or other non-conductive material. Also like Type A bulk bags, Type B bags do not have any active mechanism for dissipating static electricity.
The difference between Type A and B FIBCs is Type B bags are made from materials that have a low breakdown voltage to prevent an incident where highly energetic, and dangerous propagating brush
discharges occur. Although Type B bulk bags can prevent propagating brush discharges, they are not considered anti-static bulk bags because they do not dispel an electrostatic charge.
Safe use for Type B bulk bags:
- Transporting dry, flammable powders.
- Where no flammable solvents or gases are present around the
bulk bag and/or in your facility
- Intended to be used in environments with dust with ignition energies less than 3mJ.
Do not use Type B bulk bags for:
- In environments where highly hazerdous products and/or
- flammable solvents and gases are present
