Product Overview
The Explosion-proof 1000L IBC, developed by Wuxi Sifang Youxin Co., Ltd., is a high-safety bulk packaging container specifically designed for the storage and transportation of flammable, explosive, or electrostatically sensitive liquids.
This container is built with anti-static and conductive materials, combined with reinforced metal grounding systems to prevent static discharge during filling, handling, or transport. It maintains all the convenience and capacity benefits of the standard IBC, while adding enhanced explosion-proof performance, static dissipation capability, and compliance with hazardous goods transport standards.
The Explosion-proof IBC is widely used in petrochemical, coatings, solvents, and fine chemical industries, where safety and environmental compliance are essential.

Key Product Advantages
1.Explosion-proof and Anti-static Design
The container’s inner layer and components are made from anti-static modified HDPE, allowing safe dissipation of static electricity to prevent spark generation during loading and unloading.
2.Enhanced Safety Grounding System
Equipped with a metallic grounding network integrated into the frame, ensuring a continuous conductive path from the liquid to the ground. This greatly reduces ignition risks in volatile environments.
3.Chemical and Mechanical Resistance
The explosion-proof materials maintain the same chemical resistance and impact strength as standard HDPE, ensuring long-term performance under harsh industrial conditions.
4.Versatile Compatibility
Suitable for flammable solvents, alcohols, paints, coatings, adhesives, fuels, and other Class 3 or Class 4 dangerous goods.
5.Compliance with International Safety Standards
Fully tested and certified under ATEX and IECEx directives, guaranteeing safe use in hazardous zones such as chemical plants and coating workshops.
6.Reusable and Sustainable
Designed for repeated use with easy cleaning and reconditioning options, helping to reduce cost and environmental impact while maintaining high safety standards.
