FIBC Type C
Type C FIBCs, also known as conductive FIBCs or ground-able FIBCs, are made from non-conductive polypropylene fabrics interwoven with conductive threads sewn into the fabric. These threads must be electrically interconnected as well as connected to a designated grounding wire during filling and discharging. This connection to the ground/earth during filling and discharging is imperative to the safe use of Type C bulk bags.
Safe use for Type C bulk bags:
l Transporting flammable powders.
l When flammable vapors, gases, or combustible dusts are
present.
Do not use Type C bulk bags for:
l When ground connection is not present or has become
damaged.
l Resistance from any location FIBC to ground-able point.
