Type D FIBC Bags
Static Dissipative Bulk Bags – No Grounding Required
FIBC Bag Factory’s Self-Discharging Solution for Hazardous Environments
Product Overview
Type D FIBC bags, also known as static dissipative bags, are high-performance packaging solutions specifically designed for electrostatic-sensitive specialty chemicals. These bags feature anti-static coating and corona discharge effects, providing safety without the need for grounding.
Static Dissipative
Combines anti-static properties with resistance to external electrostatic interference through special material formulation and structural design.
No Grounding Required
Unique feature allows safe use without connection to ground, providing flexibility and convenience in hazardous environments.
Maximum Safety
Safely prevents sparks, brush discharges, and propagating brush discharges without requiring grounding.
Key Features & Advantages
Double-Wall Construction
Double-layer bag design connected by sewing, enhancing overall strength and stability with internal bracing for added load capacity.
Excellent Sealing
Double-sided cotton strips at seams, inlet, and outlet connections ensure complete sealing to prevent powder leakage.
Conductive Film
Helically arranged conductive film on the outer wall of the bag bottom helps dissipate static electricity into the atmosphere.
Spark Prevention
Made from anti-static and static-eliminating fabric designed to safely prevent sparks and brush discharges.
No Grounding Required
Type-D FIBC bags utilize corona discharge technology to safely dissipate static electricity without the need for grounding connections.
This unique feature provides exceptional flexibility and convenience in hazardous environments where grounding may be impractical or difficult to maintain.
Usage Guidelines
Safe Usage
Transporting flammable powders when flammable solvents or gases are present around the FIBC bag. No grounding required.
Do Not Use
When the bag surface is contaminated or coated with conductive substances such as water or grease, which can compromise the static dissipative properties.
IMPORTANT USAGE WARNING
Type-D FIBC bags lose their static dissipative properties if contaminated with conductive substances. Do not use if the bag surface is dirty or coated with water, grease, or other conductive materials.
Regular inspection and proper maintenance are essential to ensure continued safety performance.

Operations where grounding is impractical or difficult to maintain, but electrostatic protection is critical for safety.
Pharmaceutical Ingredients
Handling electrostatic-sensitive pharmaceutical ingredients where contamination prevention is crucial.
Frequently Asked Questions
A: Type-D bags do not require grounding, while Type-C bags must be properly grounded to be effective. This makes Type-D bags more convenient and flexible in environments where grounding is difficult or impractical.
A: Type-D bags use special static dissipative fabrics and corona discharge technology to safely dissipate static electricity into the atmosphere without the need for a ground connection.
A: Type-D bags should not be used if contaminated with conductive substances like water or grease, as this can compromise their static dissipative properties. They also have limitations in extremely high-energy environments.
A: Regular inspection for contamination and damage is essential. Keep bags clean and dry, and avoid contact with conductive substances that could compromise their static dissipative properties.
A: Yes, with appropriate liners and compliance with relevant regulations, Type-D bags can be used for food and pharmaceutical products that require electrostatic protection.
