AIRBAG AND FABRIC FOR MANUFACTURING SAME

摘要

: To manufacture airbags consisting of a contact fabric and/or a filter fabric it is proposed to use hollow fibre synthetic filament yarns having a hollow area fraction of 10-40%, based on the total crosssectional area of the fibre. The closeness values are >72% for the contact fabric and 45-68% for the filter fabric. In addition to reducing the production costs, hollow fibres also make it possible to produce lighter fabrics. These have a beneficial effect on the working of an airbag.
