  • Abstract
    Flexible intermediate bulk containers (FIBCs) are used to transport powder materials at relatively inexpensive packaging costs. A great deal of experimental work was undertaken to develop a container which would satisfy a requirement of a resistance to earth of <108 Ω. Some of this work is outlined. The development of a container by LINQ using a new fabric with a base weave of polypropylene and a coating of glycerol monostearate on the internal surface is discussed. The testing of the LINQ container for electrostatic ignition hazards is described
