During the filling and unloading of products, static energy can be generated which causes electrostatic discharge. The generated static energy can cause explosion due to dangerous gases and substances in the environment. Type D big bags are used to avoid such risky situations.
Product Description
Type D FIBC big bags are able to transport some of the selected flammable products safely. This is the reason as to why these bags are the most preferred choice when it comes to for the transportation of flammable articles.
Type D anti static FIBC bags are just perfect for the transportation of all sorts of flammable powders. These anti static bags are also very suitable when there are flammable gases, vapors or any sort of combustible dust are present. Get a free quote about Type D FIBC Big Bag.
Type D anti static FIBC bags are also can be very safely used for the packaging of various combustible products that too in an environment that is flammable in nature.
Their unique protective fabric prevents sparks, brush discharges, electrostatic buildup, and more. While Type D bags are usually a bigger investment than other types, the guaranteed safety they provide is well worth the expense.
- safely stores flammable and combustible materials
- can be used in environments containing flammable solvents and gases
- safely dissipates static electricity into the air
- no need for grounding
- protects against sparks, brush discharges, and propagating brush discharges
Type D FIBCs are made from anti-static and static dissipative fabrics designed to safely prevent the occurrence of incendiary sparks, brush discharges and propagating brush discharges without the need for a connection from the FIBC to a designated ground/earth.
♦ Used safely to transport flammable powders
♦ Used safely when flammable solvents or gases are present around the bag
♦ DO NOT USE when the surface is contaminated or coated with conductive products such as water or grease.
Type D bags do not need to be grounded before they are filled. This provides a significant advantage in terms of safety because it eliminates the risk of human error. Type D FIBCs represent the highest level of safety for applications in which bulk bags are used for storing or transporting volatile and/or combustible materials.
FIBC bulk bags are made from polypropylene, although it is a highly insulating material, they are still prone to building up static electricity. Owing to friction and separation that occur during filling and discharging of products within the bulk bag, electrostatic charges build up. These static discharges from bulk bags can range in severity from operator nuisance shocks to those capable of igniting flammable gases, vapours, and dusts.
When you use a Type D FIBC with static protective properties, also known as anti-static FIBC, anti-static bulk bags, or electrostatic FIBC, this very risk of a potentially dangerous static discharge is significantly reduced. In fact, stringent safety protocols can completely ensure a safety net.
Type D FIBC or bulk bags are made with non-conductive fabric that is coated with Type D Chemical. The fabric used in these bags is a completely static dissipater, which means that it not only resists static charge but also actively dispels any that has built up. Therefore, Type D are the best Anti-Static jumbo bags that do even require grounding during filling or discharging.
Anti-static FIBC bulk bags provide protection by dissipating electrical build-up and limiting the energy of discharges thereby preventing fire hazards. In fact, one can never be sure about the human error during the mandatory grounding required for Type C bags. On the other hand, Type D FIBC bags can guarantee safe storage and transport of any combustible product and in any environment.
1.If you are storing or transporting volatile or combustible materials, you should be using a Type D bag because the risk of a discharge of static cannot be safely handled by a standard FIBC.
2.Type D jumbo bags have the convenience of not requiring the inner conductive threads to be interconnected. It is a big safety feature that eliminates the need to ground the bags. This also avoids the possibility of human error that can cause accidents, injuries, and even death.
3.High-risk electrostatic hazard products and materials such as chemicals, foods, fertilizers, minerals, and pharmaceuticals must prefer Type D rather than Type C to mitigate grounding failures.
In the spirit of this same logic, it is also prudent to choose the right supplier when you are devoting so much thought to select the right FIBC.
