Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is an airbag base fabric that has a low air permeability sufficient to ensure the safety of occupants and heat resistance sufficient to withstand high-power, high-temperature gas generated from a recent downsized inflator, and that is capable of being packaged compactly. Also provided is an airbag comprising the base fabric. An airbag base fabric comprising a synthetic fiber multifilament having a total fineness of 500 to 750 dtex, the airbag base fabric having an areal weight of 225 to 245 g/m2, air permeability at 20 kPa of 0.2 to 0.8 L/cm2/min, and edgecomb resistance according to the ASTM D 6479 method of 300 to 600 N in both warp and weft directions.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An airbag base fabric comprising a synthetic fiber multifilament having a total fineness of 500 to 750 dtex, the airbag base fabric having an areal weight of 225 to 245 g/m 2 , air permeability at 20 kPa of 0.2 to 0.8 L/cm 2 /min, and edgecomb resistance according to the ASTM D 6479-15 method of 300 to 600 N in both warp and weft directions. 2. The airbag base fabric according to claim 1 , wherein the airbag base fabric has a weave density of 35 to 55 yarns/2.54 cm in both warp and weft directions. 3. The airbag base fabric according to claim 1 , wherein the synthetic fiber is at least one synthetic fiber selected from the group consisting of polyamide fibers and polyethylene terephthalate fibers. 4. The airbag base fabric according to claim 1 , wherein a single yarn of the synthetic fiber has a cross-sectional shape having an aspect ratio of 1.4 or less. 5. An airbag comprising the airbag base fabric of claim 1 . 6. The airbag according to claim 5 , which is a non-coated airbag. 7. The airbag base fabric according to claim 1 , wherein the synthetic fiber multifilament has a total fineness of 530 to 700 dtex. 8. The airbag base fabric according to claim 1 , wherein the airbag base fabric has an areal weight of 230 to 240 g/m 2 . 9. The airbag base fabric according to claim 1 , wherein the airbag base fabric has an areal weight of 232 to 235 g/m 2 . 10. The airbag base fabric according to claim 1 , wherein the airbag base fabric has an air permeability at 20 kPa of 0.3 to 0.7 L/cm 2 /min. 11. The airbag base fabric according to claim 1 , wherein the airbag base fabric has edgecomb resistance according to the ASTM D 6479-15 method of 300 to 550 N in both warp and weft directions. 12. The airbag base fabric according to claim 1 , wherein the airbag base fabric has a weave density of 40 to 50 yarns/2.54 cm in both warp and weft directions.
