IT s about TIME IBC - is TIME focused Solution for the Supply Chain
By Definition An Intermediate bulk container (IBC) is a container used for transport and storage of fluids and bulk materials. The construction of the IBC container and the materials used are chosen depending on the application, i.e. there are various types available in the market. Foldable corrugated (collapsible) IBC Container Plastic foldable composite IBC Container Steel IBC Container Solid Fiber drum (normally round)
Benefits Secure Handling Efficient Production - Reduced Fill time Cost Saving Internationally accepted design Better usage of storage and shipping container space. Efficient Logistics
IBC Standard Protection Provides Physical Protection. Barrier protection Containment Information Labeling/ Identification- Security Tamper Evident ( bin selected) Convenience

Product/Chemical Resistance of PE films Chemical Resistance Properties Stress Cracking Resistance Properties They are phsiochemical effects resulting from exposure of material plastic to specific Environment. Chemical Resistance is measure of effect of exposure under no load. Stress Cracking is a measure of effect of exposure under external or internal load
Sign of Chemical Attack Change in Size of Shape (swelling, shrinkage, distortion) Change in Color (absorption, extraction) Change in weight (absorption, extraction) Change in Surface Quality (cracking, loss of gloss, softening) Change in physical properties such as strength and stiffness
Ratings System E (e) Plastic unaffected during test G (g) A very slight clouding took place. F (f) Fair moderate effect P (p) considerable change N (n) Not recommended S (s) Soluble *upper case letters evaluations based on ASTM tests. Lower case letters express opinions.

Savings
IBC Set up It requires one person few minute s to set up and dismantle IBC
IBC - Stackability IBC typically can be stacked Laden 4 high Empty 16 high This would mean efficient warehouse management L O A D E D E M P T Y
IBC fit into an ISO container IBC can be shipped and trucked in standard ISO containers 16-20 IBC fit perfectly into a standard ISO 20- foot container for efficient transportation
IBC Cost Saving Comparison IBC s vs Steel Drums Average % Savings Transportation 20 30% Space Utilization - Finished Goods Storage 20% - Storage of Packaging Material 85% Handling and waste disposal 15-20% Packaging Cost 15 30% Total Overall Overall Saving 20-25%
IBC Shipping Cost Saving example - For Every IBC Steel Drums Savings 112 tons of cargo 80 IBC 560 Drums Number of 20 foot ISO Containers 5 containers 7 containers 2 containers 157 tons of cargo 112 IBC 785 Drums Number of 20 foot ISO Containers 7 containers 10 containers 03 containers 224 tons of cargo 160 IBC 1120 Drums Number of 20 foot ISO Containers 10 containers 14 containers 4 containers (Based of product with a specific gravity of 1:1).
Sustainability Less Packaging material per Kg of Product No cleaning compared to drums/barrels. Less Fuel consumed to transport per Kg of product Helps in Reducing carbon foot print.
