Type-C FIBC Bags
Conductive Bulk Bags for Hazardous Environments with Flammable Dust & Gases
FIBC Bag Factory’s Grounded Solution for Maximum Safety
Product Overview
Type-C FIBC bags are specially designed conductive bulk containers with unique anti-static properties. These bags feature interconnected conductive threads that safely discharge static electricity to the ground when properly grounded. They are ideal for use in environments with flammable dust particles or explosive gases.
Conductive Properties
Features specially developed conductive tapes and woven conductive base fabric that form an interconnected network to safely discharge static electricity.
Maximum Safety
When properly grounded, these bags eliminate electrostatic hazards even in environments with flammable dust and gases.
Hazardous Environments
Specifically designed for safe filling and discharging in environments with flammable particles or explosive gases.
Key Features & Advantages
Specialized Manufacturing
FIBC Bag Factory’s self-developed conductive tapes and woven conductive base fabric ensure reliable static dissipation.
Eco-Friendly & Safe
Made from non-toxic, harmless materials that comply with national environmental standards.
High-Strength Structure
Constructed with high-strength fiber woven mesh structure offering excellent compression and impact resistance.
Customizable Solutions
Available in various specifications and sizes to meet different industry requirements for transportation and storage.
Material Construction
Main Material
Polypropylene (PP) fabric interwoven with conductive blended fabric materials to form continuous conductive pathways.
Conductive Network
Conductive threads are interconnected to form a grid pattern on the bag surface (square or rectangular, with conductive thread intersection area ≤25cm²).
Conductive Film
Helically arranged conductive film fixed to the outer wall of the bag bottom for connection to ground wire, enabling effective static discharge.
Grounding System
Type-C Bulk bags feature a specialized grounding system that is essential for safe operation in hazardous environments.
Safe Usage
Transporting flammable powders when flammable solvents or gases are present around the FIBC bag – ONLY when properly grounded.
Do Not Use
When the ground wire is not connected to the earth or if it is damaged. Never use Type-C bags without proper grounding.
CRITICAL SAFETY WARNING
Type-C FIBC bags MUST be properly grounded to be effective. Using these bags without a proper ground connection or with damaged grounding components can result in electrostatic discharge, potentially causing fire or explosion in hazardous environments.
Always inspect the grounding system before use and ensure continuous connection to a verified earth ground throughout operations.

Frequently Asked Questions
A: Type-B bags prevent propagating brush discharges but don’t protect against spark discharges. Type-C bags are fully conductive and when properly grounded, protect against all types of electrostatic discharges, making them suitable for environments with flammable gases and vapors.
A: Absolutely not. Type-C bags rely on proper grounding to safely dissipate static electricity. Using them without a proper ground connection is extremely dangerous in hazardous environments.
A: The bag features a conductive film at the bottom that must be connected to a verified earth ground. Always inspect the grounding connection before use and ensure continuous connection throughout operations.
A: Regular inspection of the conductive network and grounding components is essential. Replace bags if conductive threads are damaged or the grounding system is compromised.
A: While primarily designed for chemical applications, food-grade versions with appropriate liners can be produced for specific food industry needs in hazardous environments.
