Type C Bulk Bags

Anti-Static Type C FIBC Bulk Bags

Type C FIBC Bulk Bags - Safe & Reliable

Type C (conductive) bulk bags are engineered for environments where static control is critical. Our bags combine exceptional material integrity with tailored manufacturing, ensuring every product meets the safety and performance demands of high-risk industries.

  • High Quality: Manufactured with conductive yarns and rigorous testing to ensure consistent safety and performance.
  • Customisable: Available in a wide range of sizes, fabric weights, liners, coatings, filling options, and discharge systems.
  • Made to Order: Built to your exact specifications with flexible production schedules and fast turnaround times.

Contact our team for pricing and expert guidance on the best Type C FIBC for your application.

What is a Type C Bulk Bag?

A Type C bulk bag, also known as a conductive FIBC or anti-static bulk bag, is a specialist flexible container designed to safely store and transport powders, granules, and other dry materials that are sensitive to static electricity. Unlike standard FIBCs, Type C bags are woven with conductive threads that must be properly grounded during filling and discharge. This grounding system prevents the build-up of static charges, reducing the risk of sparks, fires, or explosions in hazardous environments. Because of these safety features, Type C bulk bags are widely used in industries such as chemicals, pharmaceuticals, minerals, food ingredients, pigments, and flammable powder processing, where strict static-control and safe-handling standards are essential. Type C FIBCs offer a reliable and compliant solution for companies needing static-protected packaging that meets high-risk operational requirements.

Type C Bulk Bags FAQ

Quick, accurate answers to the most important questions about Type C bulk bag safety and compliance:

Is anti-static and Type C the same thing?

Not quite. Anti-static bulk bags is a broad term covering any FIBC designed to reduce static build-up, but Type C bulk bags are a specific conductive, grounded design used in higher-risk environments. All Type C bags provide anti-static protection, but not all anti-static bags meet the strict grounding and conductivity requirements needed to be classified as Type C.

When should Type C bulk bags be used?

They are used when handling flammable powders, combustible dusts, or materials processed in hazardous or explosive environments where static control is essential.

Do Type C bulk bags need to be grounded?

Yes. Type C bags must always be properly grounded to ensure the conductive threads can safely dissipate static charges.

What are the typical lead times for Type C bulk bags?

As produced to order, lead times usually range from 12 weeks, depending on custom specifications and order size.

What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

MOQs vary, but most Type C bulk bag orders start from around 500 bags, depending on your design and production requirements.
