How the versions differ

The same external dimensions do not mean the same version. At 140 × 220 cm the 3 items differ in these features:

Which version for which condition

The table assigns typical conditions to the versions. It is a guide based on the data sheet information; your risk assessment and the requirements of your waste disposal company take precedence. With the Big Bag Finder you reach a recommendation in three questions.

ConditionRecommendationItems
rain, damp material, outdoor storagecoatedPPFBM140, PPFBM140T

Filling in 140 × 220 cm

The data sheets give neither load capacity nor nominal volume for flat bags. The area is 3.08 m². A flat bag is filled by hand and closed with drawcord in the hem: fill only as much as one or two people can carry safely, and leave enough room at the hem for closing. Old mineral wool weighs only about 0.10 t/m³; volume is the limit here, not weight. For heavy materials choose a big bag with load capacity and lifting loops.

Handling in 140 × 220 cm

  • Flat bags have no lifting loops and are moved by hand. Do not drag across the ground and do not overfill.
  • Coated items (PPFBM140, PPFBM140T) protect against the ingress of moisture according to the data sheet and are suitable for rain and outdoor storage. UV light still weakens the fabric.
  • Store uncoated items (PPFBM140U) dry and covered; the fabric absorbs moisture.
  • Items with mineral wool warning print (PPFBM140, PPFBM140U, PPFBM140T): because of the low density of old mineral wool, volume limits the filling, not weight.

General rules are in the article Handling and storage of big bags.

Data sheet values side by side

The table compares the information from the data sheets and item data feature by feature. “On request” means: the value is unclear in the data sheet or missing, and we confirm it before your order. A dash means: this feature does not exist on this item.

Frequently asked questions about PP flat bag 140 × 220 cm
