• Bulk materials may create static electricity on the bag wall during the filling and/or discharging process. This static electricity can produce sparks on the surface. If the bag is surrounded with flammable dust and/or gas during filling and/or discharging it may cause potential hazards like fire and explosion.
• Conductive FIBCs are used to reduce the level of static electricity to a safe and non-hazardous level.
• The body fabric of conductive FIBCs is woven with conductive threads. Due to this the surface resistivity decreases to 
ohm.

Moreover, in order to get continual resistivity during handling which is very important, a conductive thread is sewn between the bag seams to provide a conductive path for the static electricity to follow.
• There is a conductive tape which is provided along the length of one side seam. The connection of this tape to earth will eliminate the static electricity as produced during the filling and/or discharging process.
• The risk of danger during filling and/or discharging is safely avoided with DAPHNE D-CONDUCTIVE provided that grounding treatment is done properly.
