Bulk Bags/FIBC
(Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container)
Balk bags are made from woven polypropylene fabric with a polyethylene liner. The bulk bag style is standard U-panel construction with lifting straps at each corner, top fill spout and bottom discharge chute.

The size of the bulk bag is 550mm x 550mm x 850mm high and has a typical maximum capacity of 1000kg. Bulk bags can also be supplied with a barrier foil liner as per the attached picture.

Steel Drums
Steel drums are supplied as full open top steel drums with steel lid held in place by tamper evident steel closing ring. Standard colour is black with plain steel internally. A range of sizes is available as follows.

It is recommended to use steel drums with plastic liners or barrier foil liners.

Plastic Pails
Plastic pails are slightly tapered with snap on lid and a metal bale handle. They are supplied in white food grade polypropylene in a range of sizes as follows.

Desiccant
A calculated amount of desiccant can be supplied to absorb water vapour. Desiccant is normally used in combination with plastic liners and barrier foils to nuetralise the water vapour which may pass through the plastic liner or barrier foil.

Desiccant is supplied as activated clay and silica gel in sealed packets of 50 gramme and 500 gramme.

Barrier Foils
Barrier foil packaging ensures protection from the detrimental effects of moisture, oxygen and UV light.

Barrier foils derive their protective properties from a combination of materials and a strong laminate construction. Comprising 3 or 4 plys of different materials and bonded together using adhesive or extrusion coating, these provide a flexible structure with measured barrier efficiency.

Barrier foils can be supplied as bags, sacks, FIBC liners, steel drum liners and plastic pail liners.
A typical application is in the packaging of electronic grade solder powder where low oxygen content of the powder is critical to quality.
