How to select customized FIBC for highly corrosive chemicals

2025-08-04 14:27

In the chemical and new energy sectors, flexible intermediate bulk containers (FIBCs) face the ongoing challenge of leaks from strong acids, strong alkalis, and organic solvents. Traditional FIBCs suffer from corrosion-induced clumping and embrittlement, resulting in significant annual losses for businesses. To truly address this issue, a comprehensive approach considering material properties, structural processes, and scenario adaptability is necessary.

Material properties determine the baseline protection. Firstly, a composite material of polypropylene (PP) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) is recommended for the base fabric. These materials maintain their stability even in 98% concentrated sulfuric acid or 50% caustic soda environments, with measured anti-swelling properties more than three times that of ordinary fabrics. Secondly, the inner protective layer can use a PE anti-seepage film with a thickness of 0.15mm or more, effectively intercepting highly permeable solvents such as dichloromethane. Its volatile organic compound residue is below the food-grade threshold of 0.01 ppm. The sewing process uses a heat-melt bonding process to avoid pinhole corrosion risks, and the bonding seam strength is recommended to be maintained at 2200N/5cm or more, equivalent to 2.2 times the current national standard.

Structural processes ensure safe transportation. The sling system needs to achieve a 6:1 safety factor, with ring or cross structures preferred to disperse the gravitational impact of corrosive materials. Key sealing points require special reinforcement: the discharge port is equipped with a double-flap valve, and the filling port uses a double-insurance design of heat sealing + mechanical bundling to minimize the escape of corrosive dust. For the common three-dimensional stacking scenarios in hazardous chemical warehouses, the bottom of the bag should use a reinforced weaving process to ensure that it does not deform under a 6-ton three-layer stacking pressure.

Scenario adaptation expands application boundaries. When transporting special media such as hydrofluoric acid, a fluorinated lining can be added to enhance protection; materials prone to oxidation are suitable for aluminum foil composite layers to isolate air. For companies with high requirements for the transportation environment, smart bags with RFID permeability monitoring chips can be selected to track the aging status of the bag in real time. In terms of environmental protection and recycling, an all-PP single-material structure is more conducive to the reuse of scrapped bags.

Practical application verifies the value of selection. When a lithium battery company in East China transported raw materials containing 30% hydrofluoric acid, after switching to FIBCs that meet the above standards, the damage rate dropped from 8% to less than 0.3%, the number of turnovers per bag increased to more than 6 times, and the annual loss cost was reduced by more than 2 million yuan. This practice demonstrates the dual effect of scientific selection on efficiency.
