VidePak’s leakproof woven bags are redefining construction material storage and transport, combining ultra-fine filament weaving technology with ISO 9001-certified quality control to achieve <0.01% leakage rates. With 16 Starlinger extrusion lines and 100+ circular looms, we produce over 50 million bags annually, offering load capacities up to 80 kg and tensile strengths exceeding 45 N/cm²—ensuring compliance with ASTM D5265, EN 277:2022, and JIS Z 1707 standards.
1. The Science of Leakproof Weaving: Ultra-Fine Filament Technology
At the core of VidePak’s leakproof woven bags lies ultra-fine filament weaving, a proprietary process that transforms polypropylene (PP) granules into tapes as thin as 0.025 mm. Using Starlinger’s high-precision extruders, PP is melted at 230–250°C and drawn into uniform tapes, which are then cooled via a multi-stage quenching system to prevent warping. These tapes are woven at 140–160 RPM on circular looms, achieving warp-weft densities of 14×14 strands per inch—40% tighter than conventional 10×10 weaves.
Key Advantages:
- Enhanced Load Capacity: A 120 gsm fabric with ultra-fine filaments supports 80 kg loads without seam rupture, ideal for aggregates like gravel or cement.
- Leakproof Integrity: High-density weaving minimizes pore sizes to <0.1 mm, preventing fine powder leakage (e.g., silica sand or gypsum).
- Aesthetic Precision: Smooth, uniform surfaces enable high-definition 8-color flexographic printing (120 dpi), critical for branding and hazard labeling.
For example, a 2024 project with a German construction firm utilized VidePak’s BOPP-laminated woven bags to transport hydraulic cement across the Baltic Sea. The bags’ 30 μm BOPP layer reduced moisture absorption by 95%, complying with EN 13432 for maritime environments.
2. Tailored Solutions for Construction Material Packaging
2.1 Technical Parameters by Material Type
| Material | Key Challenges | VidePak Solution | Compliance Standard |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cement & Gypsum | Moisture ingress, dust leakage | BOPP lamination (25–30 μm) + PE inner liner | ASTM C150, EN 197-1 |
| Chemical Additives | Corrosion, static buildup | Anti-static coatings + aluminum foil layers | IEC 61340-5-1, OSHA 1910 |
| Aggregates (Gravel) | Abrasion, UV degradation | 150 gsm fabric + UV-stabilized PP resin | ASTM D5265, JIS A 5308 |
| Insulation Materials | Fiber shedding, tear risks | Double-stitched seams + kraft paper lining | EN 13162, ISO 6946 |
2.2 Regulatory Alignment
- EU REACH: All PP resins are SVHC-free (<0.1 ppm), validated via GC-MS testing.
- US ASTM: Leakproof seams undergo 10,000-cycle MIT flex tests to ensure durability under vibration.
- JIS Z 1707: Bags for hygroscopic materials integrate micro-perforations (50–80 cm³/cm²/s airflow) to prevent clumping.
3. Manufacturing Excellence: From Extrusion to Quality Assurance
3.1 Precision Extrusion & Weaving
VidePak’s Starlinger extruders produce tapes with thickness tolerances of ±0.003 mm, while AI-driven looms adjust tension in real time to prevent slack or breakage. Post-weaving, fabrics undergo thermal calendaring at 180°C to enhance surface smoothness, reducing friction-induced wear by 30%.
3.2 Lamination & Sealing
For waterproofing, BOPP films are bonded using W&H laminators at 200°C, achieving peel strengths >4 N/15mm. Seams are double-stitched with UV-resistant threads and tested via pneumatic pressure chambers (up to 2 bar) to guarantee leakproof performance.
Quality Control Metrics:
- Tensile strength: ≥45 N/cm² (ISO 13934-1)
- Seam slippage: <3 mm (ASTM D434)
- Moisture vapor transmission: <0.05 g/m²/day (ASTM E96)

FAQs
Q1: How do your bags prevent static discharge in flammable environments?
A: We integrate carbon-black-coated PP tapes, achieving surface resistivity <10⁹ Ω/sq (IEC 61340-5-1), as used in a 2023 project for a Texas-based chemical plant.
Q2: Can bags withstand prolonged UV exposure on construction sites?
A: Yes. UV-stabilized PP retains 95% tensile strength after 500 hours of ASTM G154 testing, ideal for outdoor storage.
Q3: What’s the lead time for custom-sized FIBC bulk bags?
A: 15–20 days post-design approval, supported by 30+ Heidelberg CI flexo printers.
