FIBCs are sold in a wide range of industries from milk powder to minerals and fertilizers to hazardous chemicals. They are used to pack a variety of materials, primarily:

• Polymers, such as PET and PVC
• Stones and Mines
• Building and Construction Materials
• Wood and paper transportation
• Petrochemicals, such as DMT, PTA and Polyester chips
• Chemicals, such as Carbon Black, dyes & intermediates and fertilizers Pharmaceuticals & APIs
• Minerals such as bentonite, alumina, ebonite, magnetite and mineral ores like nickel
• Agro & Dairy products, such as wheat, rice, starch, lactose, sugar, coffee, milk powder, etc.
• Processed foods, Fishmeal / Animal food / Seafood
• Oil cakes (powder form), Detergents
• Hazardous Products and Chemicals ( UN Certified Bags)
• Ferro Alloys
• Cement, Clay, mica, lime, powdered metals, abrasive grit, ceramics and feldspar, etc.
• Plastic Granules and resins
• Food Products, Potatoes, Onions, etc.

FIBC Bags are also commonly known as Jumbo Bags, Big Bags, Bulk Bags, or Tote Bags made from Woven PP (Polypropylene) containers designed to hold and carry loads from 500 Kg to 3000 Kg.

FIBCs have played a major role in transporting bulk materials safely in unit loads, ranging from comparatively low-value products such as fertilizer, cement and other building materials to high-grade chemicals, pharmaceuticals and food products. FIBCs showed significant cost saving as well as logistical advantages over traditional methods as they offer a cost-effective way of packing, storing and handling products.

These bags have been in use since the 1970’s and some of the applications of FIBCs for bulk transportation are listed below.

1. Transporting fine powders

FIBCs with sift proof seams work well for a variety of powdered products. However, if the sift proofing isn’t enough to hold the fine powder, then, a polyethylene liner is a great solution. You can purchase these liners and insert them manually into the big bag.

2. Transporting food grade products

The FIBCs are popular for packaging food products. Dryable, powdered, and granular food items can be packed in these bags and transported in bulk. You can also consider using liners to keep the products fresh and free from any possible contamination.

3. Transporting pharmaceutical products

Pharmaceutical goods are subject to stringent environmental and hygiene standards for food products and will require liners.

4. Transporting chemicals

FIBCs with perfect sift proof seams, and efficient liners can be used to transport powdered or granular chemicals in bulk. These bags empty with a minimum of air contamination and save storage space as they are collapsible. Besides, they are made of durable, tough industrial materials to ensure safe storage and transportation of chemicals.

5. Transportation of agricultural products

Agricultural products such as fertilizers, animal feeds (dryable), and other related products can be packed in the FIBCs and transported in bulk. Depending on nature and transportation standards for the agricultural products you intend to pack in these bags, you may require big bag liners, or you may not need them. The FIBC’s feature a sturdy construction that maintains its shape during transportation and safe warehouse space too.

6. Transportation of building/construction materials

The transportation and management of construction materials such as gravel, cement, soil, and other related products is a tough task. Using the right FIBCs can ease the difficulties and eliminate the challenges associated with packaging and transportation of these materials.

7. Transportation of minerals and powdered metals

Ti02 and carbon black are some of the minerals that can be transported using the FIBCs. Note that transportation of powdered or granular metals and minerals require durable FIBCs specially designed to handle such items. You can get such bags from popular FIBC bags exporters from India or other locations around the world.

8. Petroleum products transportation

When handling flammable products, the build-up of electrostatic charges can result in hazardous explosions. The type C and D static control FIBCs can help in the safe transportation of such products.

9. Transportation of plastics

Plastics and other related products are frequently used as inputs in a different industry. These products are usually in pellet form and are transported in bulk. If you’re not sure of what to use to transport these pellets, consider giving the FIBCs a try.

10. Wood and paper transportation

Perhaps you didn’t expect FIBCs to be effective in transporting wood and paper. However, chopped wood products, wood pellets, and other related wood products can be safely packed in FIBCs and transported safely!
