Anti-Static Type D Bulk Bags
For operations handling flammable powders and volatile materials, controlling static electricity is critical but grounding isn’t always reliable or practical. Our Type D FIBC bulk bags (anti-static bulk bags) are engineered to safely dissipate static electricity without the need for grounding, reducing risk in high-hazard environments.
Bulk Bag Lead TimesEngineered for Safety
When handling sensitive bulk powders, or filling and discharging bags where flammable gases or vapors are present, static protection is essential to prevent a fire or catastrophic explosion. Anti-static FIBCs offer static protection in the form of either a Type C or Type D bulk bag. These bag types are engineered to control electrostatic discharge, thereby significantly reducing the risks of industrial accidents.
Type D FIBC bulk bags are specifically designed for environments where grounding cannot be consistently enforced - making them a preferred solution for many chemical and industrial manufacturing facilities.
CROHMIQ™ static protective FIBC fabric is internationally recognized as the safest Anti-Static Type D technology available today. Over 40 million CROHMIQ bulk bags have been safely used in combustible environments without a single recorded industrial accident. Southern Packaging proudly supports the use of CROHMIQ branded FIBC fabrics and bulk bags.
Common materials handled in Type D FIBCs include flammable powders such as titanium dioxide, along with other combustible chemicals, pigments, and fine industrial materials.
These bags are widely used in operations where ignition risks are present but grounding reliability cannot be guaranteed.

What is a Type D FIBC?
A Type D FIBC is made of woven fabric which enables electrostatic charge to be dissipated without being grounded. The fabric of a Type D FIBC generally contains conductive threads or filaments which safely dissipate the charge through low energy "corona" discharges. Some Type D bags have a low resistivity lining, which can reduce the risk of incendiary discharges.
Type D bulk bags are safe for transporting FLAMMABLE products. Flammable materials or gases MAY be present outside of the bag. Type D FIBCs are NOT REQUIRED TO BE GROUNDED during filling and discharge.
Type D bulk bags such as Crohmiq™ bulk bags are manufactured with fabric containing quasi-conductive yarns that safely dissipate static electricity into the atmosphere via safe, low-energy corona discharge.
Also referred to as anti-static bulk bags, they provide passive static control eliminating the need for grounding connections while maintaining a high level of safety.
This makes them ideal for facilities where human error, inconsistent procedures, or operational complexity could compromise grounding compliance.
Type D Bag Benefits
- Dissipates Static Electricity
- Prevents Brush Discharges
- Prevents Sparks
- Prevents Propagating Brush Discharges
- Safe for use in the presence of Solvents, Flammable Powders, and Combustible Materials
- Eliminates the Risk of Human Error
- Safest Bulk Bag Type in Explosive Environments
- Consistent anti-static performance across operators and facilities
- Preferred solution for complex or high-risk production environments
Why Manufacturers Choose Type D FIBC Bulk Bags
Type D FIBC bulk bags are widely used in industries handling flammable or combustible materials where static control is essential but grounding cannot be guaranteed.
They are commonly selected when:
- Filling and discharge processes generate significant static electricity
- Flammable vapors, gases, or dust clouds are present in the environment
- Grounding compliance is difficult to enforce across operators or facilities
- Operational safety must be maintained without relying on manual procedures
For these environments, anti-static bulk bags provide a higher level of operational consistency and risk reduction.

Common Applications & Industries
Type D anti-static FIBCs are used across industries processing flammable or reactive materials, including:
- Chemical manufacturing (e.g., titanium dioxide, powders, additives)
- Pigments and coatings
- Food ingredients and fine powders
- Plastics and polymers
- Minerals and industrial materials
These industries rely on passive static control to maintain safety, compliance, and production efficiency.
Safe use for type D bulk bags:
- To transport flammable powders.
- When flammable vapors, gases, or combustible dusts are present.
Do not use type D bulk bags:
- When surface of FIBC is contaminated or coated with conductive material such as grease or other flammable and or combustible materials.
