The packaging and transport of bulk goods can be tricky owing to the sensitivity of the products being transported, as well the sheer weight of some of these products. Woven bags, made from polypropylene (PP), are an extremely effective solution to this problem.
Let us look at some of the key advantages of using woven PP bags.
Reusable
Owing to the fact the PP is not able to absorb anything, the material will remain completely free of any staining and can remain hygienic after many uses. These bags will therefore not be capable of harbouring the growth of any kind of bacteria or mould. If they do become a little dirty, they can be easily washed down for reuse.
What’s more, the PP is completely non-toxic and therefore capable of transporting just about anything without the risk of it contaminating the product.
Durable
The PP that these woven bags are made from is extremely tough. And if the high tensile strength of the PP strands alone is not strong enough already, the manner in which they are woven together reinforces and multiplies the strength many times over.
The durability of the bags makes them highly resistant to tearing or rupturing, which prevents the loss of any product. This makes these bags highly lucrative for the transportation and storage of bulk goods because they will be well protected.
These bags are also capable of resisting various caustic chemicals and are thus ideal for transporting such products.
Moreover, woven PP bags can withstand high temperatures of up to 167 degrees celsius before melting.
Lightweight
With fuel costs being so high, it is worthwhile minimising the weight of the cargo as much as possible, since any extra weight added to cargo will increase the amount of fuel required to transport it.
Woven PP bags weigh so little on their own that their contribution to the weight of a load is close to zero. This is especially notable when compared with things like wooden crates, boxes and pallets, which can significantly increase the weight of a load and drive the transportation cost up.
