Fabric for airbags

摘要

Low cost a fabric for airbags, one of safety devices for automobiles, in which both edgecomb resistance and tear strength (factors affecting inflating properties of an airbag) are improved. It is capable of being recycled as easily as an uncoated fabric and has self-extinguishing property. A fabric for airbags which comprises a synthetic fiber woven fabric and synthetic thermoplastic resin applied on at least one side of the synthetic fiber woven fabric, characterized in that, by applying the synthetic thermoplastic resin, both edgecomb resistance and tear strength of the synthetic fiber woven fabric become 1.3 times or more as large as respective values of the synthetic fiber woven fabric before applying the synthetic thermoplastic resin and that the synthetic thermoplastic resin is a polyamide resin which contains a soft segment having a molecular weight of 100 to 5000. Preferably, the fabric for airbags has low air permeability and self-extinguishing property, and is capable of being repelletized with ease.
