Chemical Properties Causing Oxygen and Water Sensitivity
Hygroscopy is one of the properties of elements and molecules that causes water and
oxygen sensitivity. It is the characteristic of a substance to draw and hold on to water
molecules from the atmosphere. It is important to note that once the substance
attracts moisture, it becomes chemically altered. Substances exhibiting this quality
include ethanol, sugars, glycerol, salts, chlorides, potassium and sodium hydroxides.
Presence of the smallest ration of these substances in the product causes Hygroscopy
and must be avoided. Bulk bags liner are special types of bags available in varying
sizes used to protect products from moisture contamination during transportation.

Creation of Oxygen and Moisture Barriers in Products Handling
This is done through various means but the
most common one is the use of liners.
Introducing liners inside the package ensures
that the product is excluded from the
atmosphere. Caution must be taken on the
characteristics of the material used especially
when considering the duration or the shelf
life of the product. The effect of regular
temperature changes during transportation
and storage must also be considered while
choosing an appropriate protective material.

Strength and Firmness Properties That Ensure Greater Protection
The ability of a material to withstand pressure,
temperature fluctuations and even mechanical
stresses greatly contributes to the firmness and
protection from environmental influences.
Development of cracks and micro pores are
some of the weaknesses that can go undetected
and lead to damage of the products. Thorough
analysis of available materials must be done as
per the protection requirements for material
firmness.

Chemical Composition of Protecting Material
The chemical composition of the liners
largely depends on the product
characteristics such as Hygroscopy or
dust producing properties. Polythene
liners or EVOH liners are commonly
used and the actual polymers combined
depend on the manufacturer.

Commonly Available Dimensions
The average or the typical height of the bulk bag
ranges from 30 up to 70 inches and base seam
dimensions of 35 * 41 inches. The particular
dimensions are however nothing to worry about
so much because custom-made bags are
available. However, when there is an element of
staking or the bag being self-supporting, the
base size should be as large as possible due to
stability of the flexible packaging material.

Recommended waste management practice after use handling
Recycling of used material is the best
waste management system. In case the
material is not recyclable, incineration
can be done to avoid littering and
environmental degradation. It is
important to consult with individual
states regulations for clear direction on
best disposal practice.
