Since the start of 2026, the coatings, pigments and additive manufacturing metal powder sectors have successively witnessed the update of national standards. The official implementation of GB/T 9750-2025 General Rules for Packaging, Marking, Transportation and Storage of Coatings and Pigment Products and the full rollout of packaging specifications for additive manufacturing metal powder have set a new technical benchmark for the industrial packaging market. Meanwhile, the rapid development of the global chemical, new energy and high-end manufacturing industries has driven a sustained surge in market demand for powder materials such as metal powder and pigments. As the core storage and transportation carrier for these materials, Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers (FIBC) are embracing dual development opportunities of standardized upgrading and market expansion, with high-end application-specific products becoming the core of industry competition.
In terms of industry standard requirements, the packaging, storage and transportation of metal powder and pigments are imposing increasingly stringent demands on safety and protection performance. For metal powder, national standards clearly stipulate that ultrafine powder with a particle size of less than 53μm must be packaged in an inert gas atmosphere such as argon. Powder sensitive to oxygen, water and nitrogen requires full hermetic protection, and the packaging must be antistatic and anti-pollution. The newly implemented general rules for pigment packaging have filled the gap in full-process specifications, specifying that packaging materials must have no physical and chemical reactions with the contents and feature overall hermetic moisture resistance. Hazardous pigments must be marked and protected professionally according to hazard categories, avoid direct sunlight and rain during transportation, and be subject to strict limits on stacking height. This means traditional general-purpose FIBC bags can no longer meet industry needs, and customized, multi-functional and high-protection application-specific FIBC bags have become a market necessity.
From the perspective of market development trends, the FIBC industry is evolving rapidly towards high-end, functional and eco-friendly directions. According to industry research data, the global FIBC market size had reached 4.87 billion US dollars in 2023, with high-end application-specific products such as antistatic, anti-oxidation and corrosion-resistant ones registering remarkable growth. The market size of antistatic FIBCs for lithium battery raw material transportation alone exceeded 620 million US dollars, and the compound annual growth rate is expected to reach 12.3% by 2030. In the metal powder and pigment field, driven by the development of additive manufacturing, high-end coatings, new energy and other industries, the market demand for ultrafine metal powder and high-activity pigments is continuously increasing, putting forward higher requirements for FIBC bags in terms of antistatic, moisture and oxygen barrier, puncture resistance and chemical corrosion resistance performance. Meanwhile, under the impetus of environmental policies, recyclable and reusable green FIBC bags have also become a new development direction of the industry.
Facing the new industry trends and requirements, our company has deeply engaged in the R&D and production of FIBC bags dedicated to metal powder & pigments, and become a high-end solution provider in the industry with core technologies and customized services. Our products fully comply with the latest national standard requirements and accurately address the core pain points in the storage and transportation of powder materials:
🔹 All-round Protection, Complying with Stringent National Standard Requirements
Aiming at the characteristics of metal powder being prone to oxidation and static electricity, and pigments being susceptible to moisture and pollution, our products adopt a multi-layer composite coating process combined with a high-barrier inner liner to achieve triple protection of moisture resistance, oxygen barrier and chemical corrosion resistance, meeting the requirements for inert gas packaging of ultrafine metal powder. We also integrate professional antistatic technology to effectively eliminate static electricity generated by powder friction, avoiding risks such as electrostatic adsorption, agglomeration and even deflagration, which fully complies with the core national standard requirements for antistatic and hermetic protection.
🔹 High Strength and Durability, Adapting to Industrial Storage and Transportation Scenarios
Our products are made of high-toughness polypropylene woven base material, reinforced by special processes, with superior puncture and tear resistance performance. The load-bearing capacity covers the full range of 500-2000kg, adaptable to industrial storage and transportation scenarios such as mechanical loading and unloading, long-distance transportation and high stacking. It effectively prevents bag breakage and material leakage, ensuring product safety and environmental cleanliness during transportation.
🔹 Customized Design, Matching Diverse Customer Needs
Relying on a professional R&D team and production strength, our company can provide fully customized solutions according to customers' material characteristics (such as powder particle size, pigment chemical properties) and storage and transportation requirements (such as the need for inert gas filling and hazardous material classification), including bag structure, discharge method, logo printing and accessory selection. We can also complete standardized marking of hazard signs, storage and transportation diagrams and product information in accordance with national standards, ensuring customers full compliance throughout the process.
🔹 Eco-friendly, Keeping Pace with Industry Development Trends
In response to the global circular economy policy, our company has launched recyclable and reusable FIBC bags, which can be reused for many times, greatly reducing customers' packaging costs and resource waste. All products are made of eco-friendly raw materials, complying with the environmental standards of the European Union, North America and other international markets, helping customers' products successfully enter the international market.
In addition, our company has established a full-process quality control system, with strict checks at every link from raw material procurement, production and manufacturing to finished product inspection, ensuring stable and reliable product quality. We also provide fast-response pre-sales consultation and after-sales support services, optimizing solutions according to customers' actual needs, reducing their storage and transportation costs and improving logistics efficiency.
At present, the metal powder and pigment industry is in a critical stage of standardized upgrading and market expansion. As a core supporting product for storage and transportation, application-specific FIBC bags are seeing a continuous release of market demand. With technological innovation as the core and customer needs as the guide, our company will continue to upgrade product performance, improve customized services, and provide safer, more efficient and eco-friendly FIBC bag solutions for customers in the metal powder and pigment industry, helping them seize the opportunities in the new phase of industry development!
