Why is FIBC fabric weight important?
FIBC Bulk Bags are the most demanded bags in the
Domestic International Markets. Every business
involved in Manufacturing, Mining, Construction,
and Agriculture heavily relies on FIBC Bulk Bags
for storing, handling, and transporting products
and materials. FIBC bags are durable, 100 safe,
eco-friendly, robust in strength, and the most
reliable bags. Many consumers have questions
regarding what are FIBC Bulk Bags made of, fabric
making process, why fabric weight is important,
and how we weigh and confirm fabric weight we
are going to answer all these questions in this
blog to give you a crystal clear clarity on FIBC
Bulk Bags to make your purchasing decision
straightforward.

What are FIBC Bulk Bags made of?
FIBC Bulk Bags are manufactured using a heavy
gauge woven polypropylene (PP) fabric which is
flexible. This flexible fabric is constructed by
weaving thick, robust-strength polypropylene (PP)
tapes. Afterward, these tightly woven
polypropylene (PP) tapes are used to form heavy
fabric, sewn together to form a bag. Once the
fabric is firmly woven, a polypropylene (PP) film
layer can be laminated to the bags fabric to
form a coating.

Bag Fabric Making Process
At Umasree Texplast, we follow an SOP and process
for the FIBC Bulk Bag Fabric Making process. The
process is as follows 1. Resin Extrusion We
melt virgin polypropylene (PP) resin, UV
inhibitors for plastic, and other additives for
forming large-size plastic sheets. 2. Cutting
Winding The large-size plastic sheets are then
cut into long thin tapes and looped onto bobbins.
Long thin tapes are adjusted according to the bag
fabric weight requirements.

3. Weaving We load the bobbins onto large
circular looms, and the woven fabric is formed to
make the bag. 4. Coating We leave the choice to
the client whether they want coated or uncoated
FIBC Bulk Bags. Based on the clients
requirements, we coat the FIBC Bags by laminating
a polypropylene (PP) film layer to the woven
fabric. The PP Film Layer reduces airflow,
moisture intrusion, and dust sifting through the
bags materials products.

Why is FIBC Bag Fabric weight important?
FIBC Fabric weight plays a critical role in the
safety performance of the FIBC bag.
Insufficient fabric weight can lead to defects in
the bag, injuries to the personnel handling the
bag, and unforeseen accidents. FIBC Fabric
weight varies according to the application usage
of the bag and the clients requirements. Tape
thickness can be adjusted up or down during
manufacturing to increase or decrease the
fabrics weight (thickness).

Heavier woven fabric tends to support higher Safe
Working Loads (SWL). E.g. For a 2,000 lbs SWL
FIBC Bag, 160gsm fabric is ideal. And for a 4,000
lbs SWL FIBC Bag, 240 gsm fabric is suitable. In
coated FIBC Bags, the PP Laminated layer weighs
around 25-30gsm. The lamination layer doesnt
provide additional strength to the bag it just
protects the materials inside the bag from
external natural factors. FIBC Fabric weight
gives extra robust strength to the FIBC Bag.

How do I weigh FIBC Bulk Bag Fabric?
It is straightforward to weigh FIBC Bulk Bag
Fabric. You need a fabric sample cutter and a
high-precision digital weighing scale. Firstly,
you must cut a small circle from the FIBC Bag
body in at least two places. If you have a
Tubular FIBC Bag, you must cut sections from the
bags body and below lift loops. Then, you must
place the sample on the digital weighing scale,
measured in grams. The circle diameter is pre-set
so that you only need to multiply the displayed
figure in grams on the weighing scale by 100 to
get the FIBC fabric weight per sqm. Note The
non-load bearing components of the FIBC Bag, such
as fill discharge spouts and duffel top, must
be made from lighter fabric.
