FIBCs for Industrial Chemicals

Our bulk bags for chemicals are designed for companies that need industrial chemical packaging solutions to store and transport their products safely and efficiently. Our FIBCs comply with UN, DOT, and OSHA requirements for hazardous materials handling, and we offer anti‑static and food‑grade options that deliver purity, reliability, and peace of mind. From the moment you request a quote to final delivery, we work with you to design packaging that meets regulatory standards and is tailored to your production line.

UN Certified FIBC Bulk Bags

UN Certified bulk bags for chemicals serve a variety of needs and come in options to suit your product. These bags are rigorously tested and approved by the United Nations to safely transport and store hazardous materials.

UN Certified bulk bags undergo top‑lift and tear tests in which the bag is loaded with six times its safe working load and suspended for a prescribed duration. UN bags must achieve a safety ratio of 6:1, compared with 5:1 for standard single‑use bags. Our bags meet or exceed these standards, giving you confidence when shipping corrosive powders, oxidisers, or hazardous catalysts. We also help you select the right packaging group rating and provide the necessary markings and documentation.

Type C and Type D: Anti‑static Bulk Bags for Chemicals

UN Certified Type C and Type D bags are specialized FIBCs engineered to safely handle combustible materials by managing electrostatic charges.

Type C bags  , often called conductive FIBCs, are made from polypropylene interwoven with conductive threads. For safety, these bags must be electrically grounded during both filling and emptying to safely dissipate any static electricity that builds up, preventing sparks that could ignite flammable materials. They are designed for transporting flammable powders and are used in environments where flammable gases or solvents are present. 

Type D bags , known as anti-static or static dissipative FIBCs, are constructed from a specialized fabric with quasi-conductive properties that safely dissipate static charge into the atmosphere, eliminating the need for grounding. This makes them a safer option where grounding is unreliable or could be overlooked. 

Bulk Bag Liners

To protect powders from moisture, static, and cross‑contamination, we offer a range of liners such as food‑grade polyethylene liners, aluminium foil liners, and anti-static liners. Liners act as a second skin inside the FIBC, preventing powder from contacting the woven fabric and preserving product purity. These are used for hygroscopic or corrosive chemicals and for operations requiring compliance with FDA or pharmaceutical‑grade standards. Our food‑grade chemical liners protect sensitive ingredients that must remain uncontaminated.

Food‑Grade and Certified Clean‑Room Production

For specialty chemicals used in food, nutraceuticals, or pharmaceutical applications, purity and traceability are strict requirements. Our clean‑room bulk bags are manufactured in facilities that carry BRCGS and AIB certifications and adhere to the highest hygiene and quality standards. These measures ensure that your packaging doesn’t introduce contaminants and can be used in regulated environments.

Custom Sizing, Printing, and Material Choices

Every chemical powder behaves differently: some are dense and free‑flowing, others are lightweight and prone to dusting. We work with you to select body fabric weights, spout designs, and lift configurations tailored to your discharge systems, delivering custom chemical packaging for your process. Our custom printing allows you to display hazard icons, UN markings, and your branding. Our custom packaging options include coated and uncoated polypropylene, anti‑static fabrics, reinforced lift loops, and form‑stable (baffle) designs that maintain a square shape during handling.

COMPLIANCE
Compliance and Safety Features

Our chemical packaging solutions incorporate multiple layers of compliance and safety:

  • Rigorous testing – UN‑certified bags are subjected to lift and tear tests and must demonstrate a 6:1 safety factor.
  • Static‑control fabrics – Conductive Type C bags rely on grounding threads and proper earthing, while Type D bags use antistatic fabrics that dissipate charges without grounding.
  • Regulatory documentation – We supply UN markings, safety data sheets, and compliance certificates to meet DOT and OSHA requirements.
  • Certified facilities – Our manufacturing partners hold ISO, BRCGS, AIB, and food‑grade certifications to ensure consistent quality.
  • Grounding procedures and training – We provide guidance on grounding Type C bags and safe handling procedures for all FIBCs, helping your team avoid human‑error hazards.

CHEMICAL
Chemical Packaging for Many Industries

Many sectors rely on chemical‑grade FIBCs for safe, compliant packaging. Examples include:

  • Specialty chemical powders – pigments, catalysts, and powdered resins used in manufacturing; these often require antistatic packaging and moisture‑barrier liners.

  • Agrochemical concentrates – fertilizers, micronutrients, and crop protection agents benefit from UN‑certified bags with custom discharge spouts and tamper‑evident seals.

  • Food‑adjacent chemicals – additives, colours, or nutraceutical ingredients that must be handled in food‑grade conditions using clean‑room bulk bags.

  • Hazardous waste or catalyst removal – refineries and chemical plants use our bags to handle spent catalysts, sludges, and hazardous residues for disposal or recycling.
