• Is Your Powder Handling Process at Risk of Propagating Brush Discharges?

  May 13, 2026

  If you handle dry powders in bulk — flour, starch, resin powder, feed ingredients, or mineral powders — you've probably heard about dust explosions. What's less talked about, but just as dangerous, is propagating brush discharge (PBD). Unlike a simple spark, PBD can travel across a non-conductive fabric surface and ignite fine dust clouds with surprisingly low energy. The question is: does your current bulk bag protect against it? What Exactly Is Propagating Brush Discharge? Propagating brush discharge occurs when electrostatic charge accumulates on the inner surface of an insulating material — in this case, the woven polypropylene fabric of a bulk bag. When the charge density exceeds the fabric's dielectric strength, a sudden, high-energy discharge rips across the surface. Her...
