Abstract

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a base fabric for an airbag which has a low initial air permeability, an excellent flammability, and in addition a small amount of thread fraying when the fabric is cut with a knife or sewn, even with a small amount of coating,
[Solution] Provided is a base fabric for an airbag comprising a coated fabric wherein resin compositions are applied to at least one side of a textile, wherein the coating amount of the resin composition applied to the one side of the textile is 0.1 to 10 g/m 2 in terms of a mass after drying, an air permeability under a differential pressure of 100 kPa is 0.05 L/cm 2 /min or less, a flammability measured in accordance with FMVSS302 is self-extinguishing, and the number of frayed thread at the end part after 100 repetitions of a scrub test in accordance with ISO5981 is 5 or less.

First claim

1 . A base fabric for an airbag comprising a coated fabric wherein one or more resin compositions selected from the group consisting of a polyurethane-based thermoplastic composition, an acrylic-based thermoplastic composition, a polyester-based thermoplastic composition, and a polyamide-based thermoplastic resin composition are applied to at least one side of a textile, the textile comprising a synthetic fiber textile constituted of threads of 200 to 500 dtex and having a cover factor of 1800 to 2500,
wherein a coating amount of the resin composition applied to the one side of the the textile is 0.1 to 10 g/m 2 in terms of a mass after drying, an air permeability under a differential pressure of 100 kPa is 0.05 L/cm 2 /min or less, a flammability measured in accordance with FMVSS302 is self-extinguishing, and the number of frayed thread at the end part after 100 repetitions of a scrub test in accordance with IS05981 is 5 or less.

2 . The base fabric for an airbag according to claim 1 , wherein the resin composition comprises a polyamide-based thermoplastic resin composition.

3 . The base fabric for an airbag according to claim 2 , wherein the polyamide-based thermoplastic resin composition has a resin film strength of not less than 10 MPa and not more than 17 MPa, and a break elongation of not less than 900% and not more than 1300% in a film product made of the polyamide-based thermoplastic resin composition.

4 . The base fabric for an airbag according to claim 2 , wherein the polyamide-based thermoplastic resin composition comprises a polyamide elastomer resin (A), an antioxidant (B), a reactive compound (C) and a crosslinking agent (D).

5 . The base fabric for an airbag according to claim 4 , wherein the polyamide-based thermoplastic resin composition further comprises an adhesion aid (E) and an adhesion aid reaction catalyst (F).

6 . The base fabric for an airbag according to claim 5 , wherein the polyamide-based thermoplastic resin composition further comprises a pigment (G).

7 . The base fabric for an airbag according to claim 5 made by applying the polyamide-based thermoplastic resin composition wherein a solid concentration of the polyamide elastomer resin (A) and the antioxidant (B) in the polyamide-based thermoplastic resin composition is 15 to 35 mass %, a mixing amount as a solid content of each of the reactive compound (C), the crosslinking agent (D) and the adhesion aid (E) relative to 100 parts by mass of the polyamide-based thermoplastic resin composition is as follows:
the reactive compound (C): 1 to 5 parts by mass,
the crosslinking agent (D): 2 to 4 parts by mass, and
the adhesion aid (E): 5 to 10 parts by mass.

8 . The base fabric for an airbag according to claim 6 made by applying the polyamide-based thermoplastic resin composition wherein a solid concentration of the polyamide elastomer resin (A) and the antioxidant (B) in the polyamide-based thermoplastic resin composition is 15 to 35 mass %, a mixing amount as a solid content of each of the reactive compound (C), the crosslinking agent (D) and the adhesion aid (E) relative to 100 parts by mass of the polyamide-based thermoplastic resin composition is as follows:
the reactive compound (C): 1 to 5 parts by mass,
the crosslinking agent (D): 2 to 4 parts by mass, and
the adhesion aid (E): 5 to 10 parts by mass.

9 . The base fabric for an airbag according to 3 , wherein the polyamide-based thermoplastic resin composition comprises a polyamide elastomer resin (A), an antioxidant (B), a reactive compound (C) and a crosslinking agent (D).
