FIBC
Flexible intermediate bulk container — the woven bulk bag used for powders, granules and solids.
An FIBC is a woven polypropylene bag with lifting loops, typically carrying a pallet-sized load of dry material. Fill and discharge arrangements vary: open top or spout top, flat bottom or discharge spout. Static behaviour is described by type — a plant handling flammable dust needs to know which type it is buying.
