Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The present disclosure describes a polyester fabric for airbags formed from a polyester fiber, which can reduce costs, and the polyester fabric for airbags has high restraint performance for receiving the occupant during deployment and maintains the performance at high levels even after aging, while maintaining the mechanical characteristics as a fabric for airbags. A polyester fabric for airbags has a resin provided on at least one surface wherein the polyester fabric has an optimized crimp ratio and has a scrubbing test count of 400 or more after aging treatment at 70° C. at 95% RH for 408 hours.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A polyester fabric for airbags, the polyester fabric having a coating resin on at least one surface, wherein the polyester fabric for airbags has scrub test strokes of 400 or more after aging treatment at 70° C. at 95% RH for 408 hours, wherein warp yarn and weft yarn that constitute the fabric each have a crimp ratio of 1.0% to 12.0%. 2. The polyester fabric for airbags according to claim 1 , wherein an energy allowance (EA) per unit weight as calculated according to the following formula 1 is 5.0 (J/g) or less, EA (J/g)=( EW+EF )/ W Formula 1 wherein EW (mJ/cm2) represents a hysteresis energy per unit surface area in the warp direction when the fabric is stretched to a stress of 120 N/cm and then relaxed to a stress of 0 N/cm, EF (mJ/cm2) represents a hysteresis energy per unit surface area in the weft direction when the fabric is stretched to a stress of 120 N/cm and then relaxed to a stress of 0 N/cm, and W (g/m2) represents a weight per unit area of the fabric. 3. The polyester fabric for airbags according to claim 1 , wherein a restraint capacity use rate (RR) calculated according to the following formula 2 is 85% or more, RR (%)= RW/BW+RF/BF Formula 2 wherein RW (mm) represents an elongation of the fabric in the warp direction under a load of 120 N/cm, BW (mm) represents an elongation at breaking force of the fabric in the warp direction, RF (mm) represents an elongation of the fabric in the weft direction under a load of 120 N/cm, and BF (mm) represents an elongation at breaking force of the fabric in the weft direction. 4. The polyester fabric for airbags according to claim 1 , wherein the polyester fabric for airbags has an initial scrub test strokes of 500 or more. 5. The polyester fabric for airbags according to claim 1 , wherein the polyester fabric for airbags has a cover factor of 1900 to 2600. 6. The polyester fabric for airbags according to claim 1 , wherein the polyester fabric for airbags has a total weight of 300 g/m2 or less. 7. The polyester fabric for airbags according to claim 1 , wherein the coating resin is a silicone resin, and the resin is coated in an amount of 5 g/m2 or more and 50 g/m2 or less. 8. The polyester fabric for airbags according to claim 1 , comprising a polyester fiber with a total fineness of 200 to 555 dtex, and a single-filament fineness of 6.0 dtex or less. 9. The polyester fabric for airbags according to claim 1 , wherein the polyester fabric for airbags has a dimensional change by dry-heat of 3% or less. 10. The polyester fabric for airbags according to claim 1 , wherein the polyester fabric for airbags has a bow rate of 3% or less. 11. The polyester fabric for airbags according to claim 1 , wherein the polyester fabric for airbags has a VOC component content of 100 ppm or less.
