Conductive FIBC Bags | Type-C FIBC Bags

What Are Conductive FIBC Bags?

Flexible intermediate bulk containers called Type-C FIBC Bags, also known as conductive FIBC Bags. These bags are made from conductive fabrics and are grounded during filling and discharging to prevent static buildup, making them ideal for environments with flammable or explosive materials.

Advantages of Conductive FIBC Bags (Type C Bulk Bags)

Enhanced Safety

One benefit of Type-C FIBC Bags is their capacity to ground securely and safely to discharge static electricity. This is important for preventing sparks that could ignite flammable or explosive materials, ensuring safe handling.

Versatility

Type-C FIBC Bags are versatile and used in various industries, like Chemicals, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, and mining. They are suitable for transporting and storing a wide range of flammable powders and granules.

Grounding Capability

Type-C FIBC Bags require grounding during use, providing an additional layer of safety. Proper grounding ensures that static charges are effectively neutralized, reducing the risk of ignition.

Where To Use Type-C FIBC Bags

• Chemical Industry
• Pharmaceutical companies
• Agriculture
• Mining

How Conductive FIBC Bags Work 

Type C FIBCs are constructed of fabrics with conductive carbon, silver core, or steel threads woven into them no more than a certain maximum allowable distance apart, creating a Faraday cage. Therefore, when one part of the FIBC is connected to a grounding cable or comes into contact with any other conductor that is grounded, the entire bag then becomes safely grounded.

Even though not all of the product contacts the conductive threads, the spacing of these threads is such that any isolated charge that develops on the surface of the bag is drawn toward the grounded threads, effectively neutralizing that charge. Once grounded, the bag technically cannot hold onto enough electrostatic energy to cause ignitions of a flammable environment. Although Type C FIBCs still require a great deal of care and caution from operators to ensure they are grounded, they are an effective means of preventing dangerous static discharge hazards.

Where & When Type C FIBCs Work

Using Type C or Groundable FIBCs can be a very effective guard against incendive electrical discharges as long as the bags remain grounded during both the filling and discharging of the product. If the bag becomes ungrounded during either of these processes for any reason, it can create an extremely dangerous and explosive situation. Great care must be taken by operators to ensure a positive ground is achieved and maintained before beginning to use the FIBC.

When used correctly and consistently, Type C bags can be used in nearly any flammable or combustible environment with very low MIEs (Minimum Ignition Energies). However, Procon Pacific recommends that you consult an expert to determine the most appropriate package for use in your particular environment. With our full understanding of Type C and all other classifications of FIBCs, Procon Pacific can answer any questions you might have about the bulk bag solutions that work best for your particular applications.

Some companies refuse to use anything else other than Type C FIBCs in their sensitive processes. For that reason, this is the most common type of FIBC for use in flammable and combustible environments. There is, and always will be a large demand, for these types of packages.
