In industrial packaging, strength is not just a matter of weight, but of surface area. When the load consists of extreme materials, the container must evolve to survive.
The internal attack: when content becomes the enemy
Transporting sharp ores or scrap metal subjects the Big Bag to constant internal attack. Any movement during transport or lifting creates friction that can compromise the integrity of the traditional polypropylene fabric. Without proper protection, these micro-abrasions quickly turn into critical holes.
Lamination (coating) as a protective shield
To counteract this wear and tear, FIBCs’ technology offers lamination (or coating), a true “shark skin” applied to the fabric.
This technical membrane is not just an aesthetic layer, but a functional barrier that offers crucial benefits:
- Abrasion resistance: dramatically reduces wear and tear caused by continuous contact with rough materials.
- Puncture protection: prevents sharp edges and metal fragments from piercing the supporting structure of the bag.
- Total containment: seals the porosity of the fabric, protecting the contents from spillage, even in the case of fine dust from rubbing materials.
Safety beyond the load
The integrity of the coating does more than just preserve the goods. The “sharkskin” is a fundamental guarantee of workplace safety. A Big Bag that suddenly gives way due to internal abrasion is an immediate hazard to the operator. Choosing an appropriate lining means preventing potential hazards during handling and storage.
When to choose a laminated Big Bag?
We recommend the adoption of this technology in the presence of:
- Scrap metal: with sharp edges and irregular shapes.
- Minerals and aggregates: heavy materials with high coefficient of friction.
- Granular chemicals: where the slightest puncture would pose environmental or contamination risks.
At SebinoPack, we analyze the nature of your material to recommend the right “skin” for your logistical challenges. Don’t let abrasion become the weak point in your supply chain.
