Moisture is a major threat to FIBC fabric. Always keep bags in a dry, sheltered place to avoid weakening the fabric or growing mold.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Prolonged exposure to sunlight can degrade the polypropylene fabric. Use UV-resistant bags or store them under shade if outdoor storage is unavoidable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Never lift FIBC bags by loops using hooks or sharp-edged machinery. Use approved lifting bars, forklifts with rounded tines, or spreader bars to prevent stress tears.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Dropping filled bags or dragging them on rough surfaces can damage stitching and base seams. Always place and move bags gently.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Never exceed the Safe Working Load (SWL) mentioned on the label. Overloading increases the risk of breakage and reduces bag reusability.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Avoid placing bags directly on the floor. Use wooden or plastic pallets to prevent moisture absorption and contamination.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Especially for food-grade FIBC bags, it\u2019s vital to avoid dust, oil, or chemical contamination. Clean warehouses are essential for safe storage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Check for any visible wear and tear, especially at loops, seams, and discharge spouts. Replace damaged bags to ensure safety.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
For hygroscopic or fine powders, always use a liner inside the FIBC bag. This reduces product loss and improves bag integrity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Improper handling often results from a lack of training. Ensure all employees understand the basics of FIBC safety and handling.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\nWhy Choose Mittal Technopack<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
