Type A FIBC Bulk Bags

Type A is the baseline FIBC: plain woven polypropylene with no electrostatic protection. It is the right, cost-effective choice for non-flammable powders and granules — and the wrong choice for any combustible dust or flammable atmosphere. We help you confirm the correct static type before you order.

Configure your Type A bag

Every field below is produced to your order. We confirm the exact combination before manufacturing.

Construction

U-panel / 4-panel

U-panel is the most economical; 4-panel holds shape under heavy load.

Top

Open / skirt / spout

Open for bulk fill; spout + tie for dust control.

Bottom

Flat / spout / conical

Spout for controlled discharge; 30° conical for full emptying.

Loops

2 / 4 / 4+2

Choose by SWL and crane/forklift method.

Fabric

160–220 g/m² PP

Heavier fabric for abrasive minerals.

Liner

Optional PE

0.06–0.10 mm for moisture only.

Printing

1–4 colours

Brand and handling marks.

Extra

UV / document pocket

UV for outdoor storage; pocket for batch docs.

Why this bag

Simple, economical — and correctly applied

Right for the job, not for every job

Type A delivers the best cost per tonne for non-flammable materials. Its limit is electrostatic risk, and that limit must be respected — not worked around.

  • Plain PP body — lowest unit cost, highest output
  • U-panel construction for economical general transport
  • Optional PE liner for moisture protection
  • Custom top/bottom, loops, printing and UV
  • Not permitted for combustible dust or flammable gas/vapour atmospheres

Compare static types

Type A vs B vs C vs D — pick the right one

Type A is safe only where there is no flammable dust, gas or vapour. Use this table to confirm before ordering. Definitions follow EN ISO 21898 and IEC 61340-4-4.

TypeHow it worksFlammable dust?Flammable gas / vapour?Grounding needed?
Type A (this page)Plain PP, no static control✗ No✗ NoNo
Type BLimited breakdown voltage (<6 kV), no conductive path✓ Yes (dust only)✗ NoNo
Type CConductive threads woven in; must be grounded✓ Yes✓ YesYes
Type DStatic dissipative, no grounding required✓ Yes✓ YesNo

Rule of thumb: Type C without grounding behaves like Type A — grounding is part of the safety system, not an accessory.

FAQ

Frequently asked about Type A FIBC

What is an A-type FIBC bag?+
A Type A FIBC is the standard bag made from plain woven polypropylene with no electrostatic protection. It is designed for non-flammable dry powders and granules and must never be used where a flammable dust, gas or vapour atmosphere can occur.
Is Type A the same as Type B?+
No. Type A has no electrostatic control at all. Type B has no conductive path either, but its fabric has a limited breakdown voltage (below 6 kV) to prevent propagating brush discharges, so it may be used with combustible dusts that are not flammable gases or vapours. Type A is not permitted for combustible dust.
When should I upgrade from Type A to Type C or D?+
If the product is a flammable powder, or the filling/discharge area can contain flammable gas or vapour, Type A is unsafe. Choose Type C (conductive, requires reliable grounding) or Type D (static dissipative, no grounding required) according to the site's grounding conditions.
What is the minimum order and lead time?+
Standard specifications start from 500 pcs; custom sizes from 1,000–2,000 pcs. Standard lead time is 15–25 days, custom 20–35 days from order confirmation and deposit. Standard samples take 3–5 working days.
Do you supply test reports?+
Yes. Each lot comes with a batch test report and traceability code; SGS / BV third-party testing can be arranged on request.
