TYPE B

Type B Bulk Bags are like the Type A bags as they are made from the standard polypropylene material, they too do not have the ability to dissipate static electricity efficiently. The difference is that the material used is an insulating fabric but this has a low breakdown voltage (less than 4KV) to prevent propagating brush discharges (PBD) which are highly energetic and dangerous.

Type B bags may be used in the presence of the combustible dusts with MIE of greater than 3mj but in the absence of flammable vapours of gases.

•  Used safely to transport flammable powders.
•  Used safely when flammable solvents or gases are present around the bag.
•  Do not use when ground connection is not present or has become damaged.
