Form-Fill-Seal Woven Bags: Applying Precision Engineering to Ensure Chemical Powder Containment


The critical advantage of VidePak’s Form-Fill-Seal (FFS) woven bags lies in their ability to reduce chemical powder leakage by 98% through multi-layer barrier technology, while maintaining a tensile strength of 1,500 N/5cm for heavy-duty loads. With ISO 9001-certified production and 30+ years of expertise, VidePak delivers 50 million FFS bags annually to global chemical giants like BASF and Dow Chemical, achieving a 99.5% compliance rate with international safety standards.


1. The Leakage Challenge in Chemical Packaging

Fine powders like titanium dioxide (≤10 μm particle size) and sodium carbonate (hygroscopic) demand airtight containment to prevent product loss, contamination, and workplace hazards. VidePak’s FFS woven bags integrate four anti-leakage mechanisms:

1.1 High-Density Woven Fabric

  • Thread density: 14×14 strands per inch (ASTM D3775), reducing pore size to ≤50 μm.
  • Material science: Virgin polypropylene (PP) resin with melt flow index (MFI) 3.5 g/10min ensures uniform extrusion and minimized fabric defects.

1.2 Advanced Lamination

  • PE/PET coatings: 20–30 μm thickness (EU Regulation 10/2011 compliant) blocks particles down to 5 μm.
  • Case study: A Japanese titanium dioxide manufacturer reduced spillage from 0.8% to 0.05% after adopting VidePak’s 25 μm PET-laminated bags.

1.3 Inner Liner Systems

  • LDPE liners: 50–80 g/m² with heat-sealed seams (seam strength ≥300 N/5cm per ISO 13934-1).
  • Anti-static variants: Surface resistivity ≤10¹⁰ Ω/sq (IEC 61340-4-1) for combustible powders like sulfur.

1.4 Valve & Seal Innovations

  • Paste-sealed block-bottom valves: Eliminate 99.9% of dust emissions during filling (tested per ISO 6978-1).
  • Double-stitched seams: 8–12 stitches per inch with UV-resistant PP threads.

Selection logic:

  • Hygroscopic powders (e.g., CaTiO₃): Require 30 μm HDPE lamination + silica gel desiccant pouch.
  • Abrasive materials (e.g., ZnSO₄): Specify 14×14 weave + 150 g/m² fabric.

4. VidePak’s Manufacturing Edge

With 100+ Starlinger circular looms and 30 lamination machines, VidePak guarantees:

  • Precision dosing: ±0.5% fill accuracy via AI-powered weigh cells.
  • Rapid customization:
  • 5-day prototyping for valve/film combinations.
  • 20-day lead time for 10-container orders.
  • Sustainability: 25% recycled PP content (GRS-certified) without compromising barrier properties.

5. FAQs: Addressing Buyer Concerns

Q1: How do you prevent valve clogging with ultra-fine powders?
A: Our patented vortex-assisted valve design maintains 15–20 L/min airflow during filling, tested with 5 μm TiO₂ particles.

Q2: Can bags withstand maritime humidity?
A: Yes, our 30 μm PET-laminated bags achieve 0% water ingress after 72h (ASTM D779).

Q3: MOQ for custom-printed chemical-resistant bags?
A: 50,000 units with 4-color flexographic printing (Pantone ΔE ≤1.5).
