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.
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.
VIEW IN-STOCK BULK BAGSA 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.
A Type D bulk bag is an anti-static FIBC made from fabric that safely dissipates static electricity without the need for grounding. These bags are ideal for transporting flammable powders or working in explosive environments.
Type D FIBCs should be used when flammable vapors, gases, or combustible dusts are present and reliable grounding isn’t guaranteed. They are commonly used in industries handling solvents, chemicals, and explosive powders.
Unlike Type C bags, Type D FIBCs do not require grounding, eliminating the risk of human error. They provide consistent static protection and are considered the safest option for explosive environments when bag contamination is avoided.
No. Type D bags must not be used if the surface is contaminated with conductive materials like grease or oil, as this could compromise their anti-static functionality and safety performance.
