Type A FIBC Bags
Type A FIBC Bags are constructed from uncoated polypropylene fabric without static dissipation. A-Type bags suit non-flammable, non-hazardous goods such as grains, seeds, cement, and aggregates. Standard 4-panel design ensures cost-effective performance; not recommended for environments with low-ignition-energy dusts or vapors below 1000 mJ.
Type A FIBC Bags are :
- Standard non-conductive jumbo bags
- Made from woven polypropylene
- Best for non-flammable bulk materials
- Economical and durable
- Unsafe in explosive or flammable environments
They are the simplest and most commonly used category of FIBC bags in global industrial packaging.
They are widely used for storing and transporting dry, non-flammable materials in industries such as agriculture, chemicals, minerals, food processing, and construction.
Main Characteristics of Type A FIBC Bags
1. Material Construction
Type A bags are manufactured from :
- Standard woven polypropylene (PP) fabric
- Non-conductive material
- No static dissipative treatment
- No grounding system
The fabric acts as an insulator, meaning electrical charges can build up during filling or discharging.
2. Appearance
Typical Type A bags include :
- White woven fabric
- Four lifting loops
- Square or circular shape
- Top filling spout or open top
- Bottom discharge spout or flat bottom
Advantages vs Disadvantages :
Advantages :
- Low manufacturing cost
- Easy to produce
- Widely available
- Good mechanical strength
- Suitable for exports
Disadvantages :
- No electrostatic safety
- Unsafe for hazardous dust environments
- Limited industrial safety applications
