What is a Type B FIBC Bag?
Standard FIBC bags are simple polypropylene based bags that are generally used for various purposes. Type B FIBC Bags, however, are different from the standard of Type A FIBC bags. This type of bags are made from materials that have a low breakdown voltage to prevent an incident where highly energetic, and dangerous propagating brush discharges occur. A Type B bag can take breakdown voltage up to 4KV.
Following are the top reasons to choose Type B FIBC Bags:
1.Transportation of Dry Goods
FIBC bags in general are an excellent option for transportation in general, and Type B FIBC bags are particular great in handling dry goods. Dry goods are generally susceptible to catching sparks due to friction or exposure to hot climate. Polypropylene based anti-static bags are prevent sparks, and hence, are highly capable for safe transportation of dry products like wood pellets, coal, etc. Moreover, FIBC bags are resistant to UV exposure, which makes them apt for storing the products for a long duration of time, without damaging them.
2.Transportation of Flammable Powdered Chemicals
Transportation of flammable chemicals in powdered form is one of the most difficult and risky activities. Therefore, Type B FIBC are extremely important in such carriages because they can prevent occurrence of incidents with highly energetic and dangerously propagating brush discharges, commonly known as PBD. However, it is important that there should not be any flammable solvents or gases present around the bags.
3.Cost-effective Alternative
Polypropylene bags are highly cost-effective, and Type B FIBC bags are no exception. Firstly, they are easy to procure, and Emmbi can provide high quality of FIBC bags across international locations. Secondly, these bags are extremely durable, which enables their reuse for multiple times, as these bags have a safety factor SF of 6:1. The bags come in various sizes, and can be customized according to the client requirements, which prevents wastage and provides optimum utilization. Similarly, storing dry goods and powdered chemicals in these bags eliminates the need for any kind of additional packaging, which again is a big money saver for businesses.
4.Lightweight Bags Appropriate for Transportation
FIBC bags are lightweight which makes them apt for transportation of good, especially over long distances. It reduces the overall weight as compared to other hard plastics, rigid containers, IBC, metal containers, or other similar materials. The use of Type B FIBC bags is as good as have the dry goods directly loaded on the carriages, which makes them quite seamless and convenient. Additionally, since these bags are lightweight and require minimum space for storage, they can be procured in bulk which will further reduce the costs.
5.Low Ecological Impact
One of the biggest reasons for choosing FIBC bags is that they have a low impact on the environment. To begin with, they are made with single polymer polypropylene, that is highly durable and appropriate for recycle. Type B FIBC bags cannot only be use multiple times, but they can also be recycled entirely. Also, they are highly durable, and hence, have a long shelf life, which further reduces impact from over production.
