Pigments & Coatings

Custom FIBCs (flexible intermediate bulk containers) are essential for safely shipping a wide variety of pigment and coating materials.  At FlexSack, our Pigment Bulk Bags and Coating FIBCs are engineered to protect fine powders, liquids, and specialty resins from moisture, dust, and static, ensuring your products arrive exactly as intended.  

Overview of Pigments & Coatings Commonly Transported  

Pigment and coating products span a broad range of chemistries, physical states, and sensitivities. Below are some of the most frequently shipped materials in our custom FIBCs:

  • Powder Pigments & Colorants: Titanium dioxide, iron oxides, ultramarine blues, organic dyes, and specialty metallic powders used in paints, plastics, and inks. 
  • Liquid Pigments & Dispersions: Highly concentrated pigment slurries, dye concentrates, and colorant dispersions requiring leak-resistant packaging. 
  • Powder Coatings: Epoxy, polyester, hybrid, and UV-curable coating powders used in industrial finishing, typically needing anti-static and dust-sealed containment.
  • Resins & Additives: Polyester resins, acrylic resins, alkyd resins, UV resins, and various polymer additives (e.g., fumed silica, stearates) that demand moisture barriers. 
  • Specialty Coatings: Flame-retardant powders, antimicrobial coatings, automotive-grade pigments, ceramics coatings, and powder fillers. 

If your specific material isn’t listed above, contact us to discuss how our custom FIBCs can handle virtually any pigment or coating product.

Why Choose Bulk Bags for Pigments & Coatings 

When it comes to coating bulk bags and pigment FIBCs, it’s critical to address the unique challenges of fine powders and sensitive liquids: 

  • Dust & Contamination Control: Our FIBCs can be equipped with sealed spout closures and integrated liners that prevent pigment dust from escaping and protect against cross-contamination.
  • Moisture Barrier Protection: Many pigments and resins must remain bone-dry. Options such as polyethylene liners or coated fabrics create an impermeable barrier against humidity or incidental water exposure. 
  • Anti-Static & Conductive Options: Powder coating and some pigment powders can generate static charge.  We offer anti-static FIBCs and conductive fabrics to mitigate discharge risks during filling, transport, and unloading. 
  • Durability & Tensile Strength: High-quality woven polypropylene construction ensures the bag will hold its shape under full load, even when handling heavy pigment concentrates or liquid dispersions. 
  • Ease of Handling: Spout-top and spout-bottom options allow precise filling and discharge, which is critical when working with chemicals that require exact dosing or minimal material waste.  

Common Bag Types for Pigment &
Coating Materials 

FlexSack offers a range of FIBC designs tailored to pigment and coating handling.  Below are some of the most popular configurations.  

Bag Type  Ideal For  Key Benefits 
Spout Top/Spout Bottom FIBCs  Fine pigment powders (titanium dioxide, iron oxides), liquid pigment dispersions, resin slurries  Controlled filling and discharge minimize dust, waste, and spillage; excellent for maintaining product integrity. 
Duffle Top/
Open Top Bags 		 Bulk pigment drums, high-volume powder coatings, large pigment loads  Wide, open top allows fast, straightforward filling; ideal when exact dosing isn’t required and speed matters. 
Liner-Integrated Bags  Hygroscopic pigments (e.g., ultramarine), moisture-sensitive resins, specialty coating powders  Polyethylene or metallized liners form a total moisture barrier, protecting materials from humidity and contamination. 
Anti-Static/
Conductive Bags 		 Powder coatings, flammable pigment powders, electrostatic sensitive additives  Woven conductive threads or carbon additives dissipate static charge, reducing fire/explosion risk during handling.  
Ventilated Bags  Specialty pigments or coatings that require airflow (ceramic coatings, certain metallic flakes)  Prevents moisture buildup and clumping by allowing airflow while still retaining fine particles.  
For sensitive products that require protection from electrostatic discharge, conductive bag liners are designed to keep your plastic materials safe during transport, making them especially useful in industries such as electronics manufacturing.

FAQ

Our FIBCs handle everything from titanium dioxide and iron oxides to specialty metallic powders, organic dyes, and ceramic pigments. Anti-static and liner options are available for powders that require additional precautions.

Yes. We offer leak-resistant, liner-integrated FIBCs designed for concentrated pigment slurries, dye dispersions, and resin-based coatings. These bags minimize spillage and protect against contamination. 

Many powder coatings and pigments can generate static electricity during handling. Anti-static and conductive FIBCs dissipate any charge buildup, reducing fire and explosion hazards in flammable or dusty environments. 

  • Spout-Top: Best for precision filling of powders or liquids where dust control is critical.  
  • Duffle-Top: Ideal for quickly dumping bulk materials when exact dosing isn’t necessary. Our experts can help you select the right closure based on your product flow and handling equipment. Learn more about our bag features to find the perfect solution. 

Absolutely. We offer custom-printed logos, batch numbers, warning icons, and more. Clear, durable printing helps with regulatory compliance and brand visibility throughout your supply chain.
