Frequently Asked Questions
What do SWL and safety factor mean?
SWL is the safe working load; a 5:1 safety factor means the bag has been tested to five times the SWL. 6:1 is recommended for reuse.
When is a lined big bag needed?
A PE inner liner is used for powders, moisture-sensitive products or fine materials that could sift through.
When should I choose an antistatic big bag?
Type B, C or D bags are required to control static in flammable dust or explosive atmospheres; tell us your product and we will recommend the right type.
