Chemical Industry Success Stories
See how California chemical companies benefit from our specialized bags.
Polymer Manufacturing Plant
Static ControlA large polymer manufacturer needed Type C conductive bags for their plastic pellet operations. We supplied bags with integrated grounding points and provided staff training on proper grounding procedures.
Hazmat Chemical Distributor
UN-Rated TransportA chemical distributor required UN-certified bags for interstate transport of hazardous materials. We supplied UN 13H3 bags with full DOT compliance documentation.
Pigment Manufacturer
Contamination ControlA specialty pigment manufacturer needed bags that prevented moisture ingress and cross-contamination. We provided lined bags with dedicated color-coded production runs.
How It Works
From hazard assessment to certified delivery, ensuring chemical safety.
Hazard Assessment
We review your material properties, including MIE, flammability, and regulatory classification to determine bag requirements.
Technical Specification
Our engineers specify bag type, antistatic properties, liners, and closures. UN certification requirements confirmed if applicable.
Certified Production
Bags manufactured with full quality control. Antistatic properties tested and documented. UN testing completed for hazmat bags.
Documented Delivery
Bags delivered with complete certification package including test certificates, compliance documentation, and handling guidelines.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about bulk bags for chemical applications.
What is the difference between Type B, C, and D antistatic bags?
Type B bags prevent propagating brush discharges and are suitable for dry flammable powders when no flammable vapors are present. Type C bags have conductive threads that must be grounded during use - safe for both flammable powders and vapors. Type D bags dissipate static through corona discharge without requiring grounding - inherently safe in flammable atmospheres.
Do you provide UN-certified bags for hazardous materials?
Yes, we supply UN 13H3 (woven plastic, uncoated) and UN 13H4 (woven plastic, coated) certified bags for hazardous material transport. These bags meet DOT 49 CFR requirements and are tested for drop, stack, and topple performance. Full certification documentation is provided.
How do I know which antistatic bag type I need?
Bag selection depends on your material's minimum ignition energy (MIE), whether flammable vapors may be present, and operational factors. Type B is suitable for MIE >3mJ without vapors. Type C (grounded) or Type D (not grounded) is needed for lower MIE or when vapors are present. Our technical team provides free consultations to determine the right bag for your application.
What documentation do you provide for chemical industry bags?
We provide comprehensive documentation including: material specifications, antistatic test certificates (for Type B/C/D), UN packaging certificates (for hazmat bags), Certificates of Compliance, lot traceability records, and MSDS for bag materials. Custom documentation packages available for specific compliance requirements.
Can you supply bags for corrosive chemicals?
Yes, we offer bags with chemical-resistant coatings and specialized liners for corrosive materials. Options include PE-coated fabrics, EVOH barrier liners, and fluoropolymer-coated liners. We recommend providing your material's SDS so we can recommend the most appropriate solution.
Do your conductive bags require special handling?
Type C conductive bags must be properly grounded during filling and discharge operations. We provide grounding tabs and can supply grounding hardware. Our technical team offers training and guidance on proper grounding procedures. Type D bags do not require grounding.
