Abstract
A quasi-conductive woven fabric section including quasi-conductive fibers, which reduce the potential for incendiary discharge. The woven fabric section may further include an antistatic coating. The coating may be applied to an entire surface of the woven fabric section or it may coat about one-half of the section. A process is disclosed for making flexible fabric containers with a reduced potential for incendiary discharge made of woven fabric sections including the quasi-conductive fibers. In addition, a process is disclosed for making such containers with a reduced potential for incendiary discharge including an antistatic coating on the containers, either over the entire surface or over approximately half of the surface.
