'''Type B''' - Made from plain (non-antistatic) polypropylene. Type B bags are not capable of generating propagating brush discharges. The wall of this FIBC exhibits a breakdown voltage of 4 kilovolts or less. | '''Type B''' - Made from plain (non-antistatic) polypropylene.

'''Type C''' - Conductive FIBC. Constructed from electrically conductive fabric, designed to control electrostatic charges by grounding. A standard fabric used contains conductive threads or tape. | '''Type C''' - Conductive FIBC. Constructed from electrically conductive fabric, designed to control electrostatic charges by grounding.
