SOM PP Fabric Bags: Achieving Engineering Excellence via Advanced Material Management


In industrial packaging, where material integrity and safety are non-negotiable, SOM (Sewn Open Mouth) PP woven bags stand as a benchmark for durability and precision. With over 30 years of expertise, VidePak has refined production processes that ensure ≤0.1% defect rates, load capacities up to 2,000 kg, and compliance with global safety standards. Our analysis reveals that businesses using SOM PP bags reduce material waste by 18–22%, enhance supply chain efficiency by 30%, and mitigate electrostatic risks in sensitive environments like chemical storage. For example, a German fertilizer manufacturer eliminated static-related incidents entirely after adopting VidePak’s anti-static FIBC bags with 150 g/m² PP fabric and conductive threads.


1. Technical Specifications: Balancing Flexibility and Strength

SOM PP bags are engineered to meet diverse industrial demands through precise control of three core parameters:

ParameterRangeIndustrial Application
Thickness0.15–0.35 mm0.20 mm for agricultural grains; 0.35 mm for construction aggregates
Grammage80–200 g/m²100 g/m² for food-grade packaging; 200 g/m² for hazardous chemicals
Size50×80 cm to 120×120 cmCustomizable for pallet compatibility and automated handling

VidePak’s Austrian Starlinger circular looms produce fabric with a tensile strength of 40–50 N/cm², validated by ASTM D5034 testing. For instance, a U.S. logistics firm reduced bag replacements by 40% using our 180 g/m² laminated PP bags with double-stitched seams.


2. Anti-Static Technology: Safeguarding High-Risk Environments

Static electricity poses critical risks in industries handling flammable powders or volatile chemicals. VidePak’s anti-static solutions employ:

  • Conductive Yarns: Carbon-coated PP fibers woven into the fabric (surface resistivity: 10⁶–10⁹ Ω/sq) to dissipate charges.
  • Groundable Liners: Aluminum foil or PE layers with integrated grounding strips, reducing electrostatic potential to <0.1 kV.
  • Anti-Static Additives: Masterbatch compounds blended during extrusion to inhibit charge accumulation.

A pharmaceutical supplier in India reported zero electrostatic discharges after switching to our FIBC bags with dissipative coatings, achieving compliance with IEC 61340-4-4 standards.


3. Load Capacity and Structural Reinforcement

VidePak’s SOM PP bags are designed for extreme weight demands:

Bag TypeMax Load CapacityReinforcement Features
Standard SOM500–1,000 kg10 cm seam allowance, cross-stitched corners
Baffled FIBC1,000–1,500 kgInternal baffles for load distribution
Laminated Jumbo1,500–2,000 kg200 g/m² fabric + 25-micron BOPP coating

For example, a Canadian mining company safely transported 1,800 kg of copper ore using our baffled FIBC bags, maintaining a 0.02% leakage rate under ISTA 3A testing.


4. Quality Control: From Raw Material to Finished Product

A. Raw Material Standards

  • Virgin PP Resin: Sourced from ISO 9001-certified suppliers, with melt flow index (MFI) of 8–12 g/10 min (ASTM D1238).
  • Recycled Content: Up to 30% post-industrial PP, complying with FDA 21 CFR for food-grade applications.

B. Production Monitoring

  • Extrusion Control: Real-time tracking of film thickness (±0.01 mm tolerance) across 16 extrusion lines.
  • Weaving Precision: 100+ Starlinger looms ensure fabric density uniformity (CV ≤2.5%).

A Spanish agrochemical firm achieved 99.8% batch consistency using VidePak’s ISO 22000-certified production system.


5. FAQs: Addressing Critical Procurement Concerns

Q1: How does VidePak ensure anti-static performance over time?
We conduct accelerated aging tests (1,200 hours at 85°C/85% RH) per IEC 60068-2-67, ensuring surface resistivity remains <10⁹ Ω/sq.

Q2: What is the lead time for custom-sized FIBC bags?
Standard orders (10,000+ units) ship in 10–14 days, with urgent batches prioritized via our 30+ lamination machines.

Q3: Are laminated bags recyclable?
Yes. Our BOPP-PP separation technology enables 95% material recovery for closed-loop recycling.
