What are UN Bags and Why Should You Use Them?

 


Bulk bags are a versatile bulk packaging choice for nearly every industry these days due their capability to transport and store a wide range of materials.

Whether you are transporting soil, agricultural produce, or hazardous materials, FIBCs offer a packaging option with a unique mix of flexibility, durability, and cost-efficiency that are unparallel in the bulk packaging industry. Storage and transportation of hazardous materials require a unique FIBC product called UN Certified Bulk Bags.

What are UN Certified Bulk Bags?

When it comes to storing and transporting hazardous materials the United Nations Association or the Orange Book requires Bulk bag manufacturers to meet a few of their regulations. These bulk bags are crafted from woven plastics both, with or without coating or liners. UN Certified Bulk Bags are required to go through a series of rigorous testing in order to get approved. Therefore, these jumbo bags are uniquely manufactured to store and transport dangerously hazardous materials. The durable material used to craft these bags helps in preventing leaks, spillage, and also blocks internal or external contaminants from contaminating the products. 

Uses, Applications & Benefits of UN Approved Bulk Bags

There are many uses for UN-approved bulk bags as these bags are specially tested, manufactured, and certified to work well in a variety of environmental conditions. UN FIBC bags are used mainly used in environments that are susceptible to explosions, toxicity, environmental damage, chemical burns, and fires. As such, they are safe to be used for transporting materials over long distances via air, land, and sea.

UN approved safety measures ensure that damage and destruction to property, product, or the environment is prevented, and also, people are protected from injury. When you need to transport dangerous and hazardous products, you can rest assured that a UN bulk bag will tick off all the boxes.

The utility of UN certified bulkbags is immense as they are perfectly designed to guarantee hazardous materials and dangerous industrial waste is transported to and from locations efficiently.

UN FIBC bags vs. Regular FIBC Bulk Bags

  • UN rated bulk bags are designed in such a way that they have higher durability than standard bulk bags.
  • Standard FIBC bags have to adhere to a safety ratio of 5:1 which is the industry standard. UN-approved bags on the other hand have a safety ratio of an impressive 6:1.
  • Certain scenarios require the transportation and storage and of hazardous materials. Where a standard FIBC bulk bag won’t meet the safety requirements, UN rated bulk bags are particularly designed to transport and store hazardous materials.
  • These UN certified bags have many advantages and have to endure a lot of tests to establish their quality such as righting test, drop test, tear test, top lift test, topple test, and stacking test.
  • UN approved bags are required to meet certain conditions and testing standards listed by the UN. UN certified bulk bag manufacturers ensure that risky and harmful materials and products are delivered safely.
