Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0456328A2] A container bag 10 comprises a body of flexible material containing one or more side seams and lifting loops together with a woven inner liner 22. Both the bag body and the liner 22 have conductive threads 24 woven into the fabric. The liner and the body fabric are connected to one another electrically. The IBC so made has excellent resistence to the drop test and at the same time is antistatic and so may be used on hazardous loads.
