Texene Packaging Fabrics is the recognized world leader in ungrounded static protective fabric for Type D FIBC. As part of its on-going commitment to safety and product development, Texene maintains a state of the art full-scale FIBC testing facility in Summerville, SC. This 3000 ft. environmentally controlled facility has been designed to meet the requirements of the IEC test standard, IEC 61340-4-4.

Inside the test facility, full-scale FIBC are filled and emptied under electrostatic charging conditions that simulate industrial environments. Testing parameters include FIBC grounded or ungrounded, temperature, relative humidity and electrostatic charging rate. Performance measurements of the FIBC include charge transfer, surface potential, and incendivity testing using a gas probe with specific mixtures for a range of minimum ignition energies. In addition to FIBC testing, an electrostatics laboratory is utilized to measure electrostatic properties, such as surface resistivity, breakdown voltage for fabrics, and linear resistivity.
