CROHMIQ® Type D Bags: Groundbreaking Anti-Static Technology for Bulk Packaging
In industries where bulk packaging plays a vital role—such as chemicals, fertilizers, food, and minerals—safety, efficiency, and product integrity are top priorities. Traditional FIBC (Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers) have long been used for bulk handling, but as materials with flammable properties and static-sensitive characteristics are handled more frequently, the demand for advanced packaging solutions has surged. This is where CROHMIQ® Type D Bags emerge as an innovative, industry-leading choice.
CROHMIQ® is the world’s leading Type D FIBC fabric, engineered to safely dissipate static electricity without the need for grounding. This cutting-edge technology makes it a groundbreaking solution for industries seeking to enhance safety while maintaining cost-effectiveness.
What Are CROHMIQ® Type D Bags?
CROHMIQ® Type D bags are a special category of FIBC bulk bags designed with anti-static properties. Unlike conventional FIBC bags, they do not require external grounding to prevent static buildup during filling, handling, and discharging of materials.
They are made from patented, static-dissipative fabrics that ensure sparks, brush discharges, or propagating brush discharges—often the cause of fires or explosions—are prevented. CROHMIQ® is widely recognized as the safest and most trusted solution for packaging flammable powders and materials in environments where combustible gases, vapors, or dust are present.
Why Static Electricity Is a Challenge in Bulk Packaging?
During the filling or emptying of bulk bags, static charges are naturally generated due to friction between materials and the bag’s inner surface. When these charges accumulate, they pose serious hazards:
- Electrostatic Discharges: Sparks can ignite flammable atmospheres, leading to fires or explosions.
- Safety Risks for Workers: Workers handling materials in hazardous environments are exposed to potential injuries.
- Material Loss and Contamination: Accidents can damage products and cause environmental hazards.
This makes static control a non-negotiable requirement in industries that handle chemicals, fertilizers, food ingredients like sugar or flour, and other sensitive powders. CROHMIQ® Type D technology is specifically engineered to mitigate these risks effectively.
Unique Features of CROHMIQ® Type D Bags
CROHMIQ® bags stand out because of their advanced technology and proven performance.

2. No Grounding Required
- Unlike Type C bags, CROHMIQ® Type D does not require earthing.
- Simplifies operations and reduces human error.
3. Certified Safety
- Tested under IEC 61340-4-4 standards.
- Widely approved by regulatory bodies across industries.
4. Reusable and Durable
- Designed for multiple uses with excellent mechanical strength.
- Ensures long-term cost efficiency.
5. Global Acceptance
- Over 30 years of proven field use across industries worldwide.
CROHMIQ® vs. Other Types of FIBC Bags
Understanding the differences between CROHMIQ® Type D bags and other FIBC bags is crucial:
- Type A Bags: No electrostatic protection, unsafe for combustible materials.
- Type B Bags: Prevent low-energy discharges but are still unsafe in flammable atmospheres.
- Type C Bags: Conductive bags requiring grounding; safe but operationally complex.
- Type D Bags (CROHMIQ®): Advanced, static-dissipative bags that provide the same or better safety as Type C, but without grounding requirements.
CROHMIQ® bags, therefore, combine the highest safety standards with ease of use, making them the preferred choice for high-risk industries.
Applications of CROHMIQ® Type D Bags
CROHMIQ® bags are versatile and suitable for a wide range of industries:
- Chemicals & Petrochemicals: Safe packaging of powders, resins, and catalysts.
- Food & Agriculture: Packaging sugar, flour, starch, and other food-grade powders.
- Minerals & Construction: Transport of cement, pigments, and other bulk materials.
- Paints & Coatings: Secure handling of powders used in paints and coatings.
Their application ensures compliance with safety regulations while enabling smooth, efficient, and cost-effective bulk handling.
Benefits of CROHMIQ® Type D Bags
Adopting CROHMIQ® Type D technology offers multiple benefits:
- Enhanced Safety: Elimination of static-related risks during material transfer.
- Reduced Operational Complexity: No need for grounding cables or checks.
- Cost Savings: Lower labor costs, reduced downtime, and fewer accidents.
- Improved Productivity: Easy to use, ensuring faster filling and discharge cycles.
- Sustainability: Durable and reusable design contributes to eco-friendly operations.
These benefits make CROHMIQ® not just a packaging solution but a strategic investment in safer and more efficient operations.
