A type B bulk bag is constructed from insulating fabric but has a breakdown voltage less than 6kV.  This provision prevents the risk of energetic propagating brush discharges which can ignite the dust-air mixture.  Type “B” bags may be used in the presence of the combustible dust with MIE of greater than 3mj but in the absence of flammable vapours of gases. Low breakdown voltage.

  • Used safely to transport dry, flammable powders.
  • There are to be no flammable solvents or gases present around the bag.
  • DO NOT USE to transport flammable products.
