When handling dry powders with dust-ignition risks, electrostatic safety becomes a critical requirement, not an optional feature. Type B FIBC bulk bags are designed using polypropylene fabrics with a surface breakdown voltage below 6 kV, which helps limit the chance of propagating brush discharges, one of the primary ignition triggers when handling fine, combustible powders.
Unlike Type C or Type D bags, Type B FIBCs do not dissipate static electricity. However, they remain a dependable and cost-efficient solution for environments without the presence of flammable gases or vapors, offering a higher level of safety compared to Type A bags. These bags are widely adopted in industries where powders can accumulate static charges, such as agriculture, food ingredients, chemical powders, and mineral processing.
