Key Features of Type C FIBC Bags:

• Made from non-conductive polypropylene fabric interwoven with conductive threads, typically stitched in a grid pattern.

• All conductive threads must be interconnected and securely grounded during both filling and emptying processes.

• The effectiveness and safety of Type C FIBCs depend entirely on proper grounding.

• Safely used for flammable powders, and in the presence of flammable gases, vapors, solvents, or dust.

Usage Guidelines:

• Ensure a continuous connection to a reliable ground or earth point during all handling operations.

• Always inspect the grounding system and the bag’s conductive threads for any signs of damage or failure.

Cautions – Safe Handling of Type C FIBC:

• Do not use if the bag is not grounded or if the grounding connection is damaged or missing.

• Avoid use if there is electrical resistance between any part of the bag and the designated grounding point.

• Improper grounding can result in static buildup and hazardous discharges, posing a serious fire or explosion risk.

Summary:

Type C FIBCs are essential for safely transporting and storing flammable or volatile materials in static-sensitive environments. Proper grounding is non-negotiable and must be verified for each use to ensure maximum safety.
