What Factors Determine Bag Types

Several factors determine the type of bulk bag suitable for your needs. These include:

Material Construction

The fabric and composition of the bag.

Safety Measures

Features that mitigate risks associated with static electricity and other hazards.

Static Control

Whether the bag can dissipate or conduct static electricity.

Application and Environment

The type of material being transported and the surrounding environment.

Type A Bulk Bags

Type A bulk bags are made from standard polypropylene or other non-conductive materials. They offer no static protection and are primarily used for general-purpose applications.

Applications

These bags are most suitable for transporting non-flammable products in environments where combustible dust or flammable gases are not a concern.

Safety Precautions

Type A bags are not safe for environments with flammable or combustible materials, as they offer no static protection.

Type B Bulk Bags

Type B bulk bags are similar to Type A but are made from materials with a low breakdown voltage, which makes them more resistant to propagating brush discharges.

Applications

They are appropriate for use in dry, non-flammable environments and for transporting dry, non-flammable products.

Safety Precautions

Like Type A, these bags are not safe for use in flammable or combustible environments.

Type C Bulk Bags

Type C bulk bags are made from conductive material, usually interwoven with conductive threads. They come equipped with grounding tabs to facilitate static discharge.

Applications

These bags are suitable for environments where flammable or combustible materials are present.

Safety Precautions

Type C bags must be properly grounded during both filling and discharging to prevent static buildup.
