Abstract

Fabric for an airbag, comprising warp threads and weft threads, in particular using multifilaments, characterized by a weave density greater than the 95% Professor Walz standard. It can also have a permeability (LD) of less than 3 l/dm 2 /min (at 500 Pa differential pressure) pursuant to ISO 9237, and can be characterized by a warp/weft insertion ratio greater than 1.

Claims (22)

1 . An airbag fabric comprising warp threads and weft threads using multi-filaments, the fabric including a cover factor greater than 95% WALZ density.

2 . The fabric as set forth in claim 1 , including a permeability LD as per ISO 9237 smaller than 3 l/dm 2 /min (for a differential pressure of 500 Pa).

3 . The fabric as set forth in claim 1 including, a warp/weft crimp ratio greater than 1.

4 . The fabric as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the fabric is uncoated.

5 . The fabric as set forth in claim 1 , including a cover factor greater than 100% WALZ density.

6 . The fabric as set forth in claim 1 , including an edge comb resistance greater than 700N in the warp or weft direction.

7 . The fabric as set forth in claim 1 , including an edge comb resistance greater than 750N in the warp or weft direction.

8 . The fabric as set forth in claim 1 , including an edge comb resistance greater than 800N in the warp or weft direction.

9 . The fabric as set forth in claim 1 , including an edge comb resistance greater than 850N in the warp or weft direction.

10 . The fabric as set forth in claim 1 , including an edge comb resistance greater than 900N in the warp or weft direction.

11 . An airbag fabric comprising warp threads and weft threads using multi-filaments, the fabric including a pore/basis weight factor PF greater than 2700.

12 . The fabric as set forth in claim 11 , including a permeability LD as per ISO 9237 smaller than 3 l/dm 2 /min.

13 . The fabric as set forth in claim 11 , including a warp/weft crimp ratio greater than 1.

14 . The fabric as set forth in claim 11 , wherein the fabric is uncoated.

15 . The fabric as set forth in claim 11 , including a pore/basis weight factor greater than 2800.

16 . The fabric as set forth in claim 11 , including a pore/basis weight factor greater than 2900.

17 . The fabric as set forth in claim 11 , including an edge comb resistance greater than 700N in the warp or weft direction.

18 . The fabric as set forth in claim 11 , including an edge comb resistance greater than 750N in the warp or weft direction.

19 . The fabric as set forth in claim 11 , including an edge comb resistance greater than 800N in the warp or weft direction.

20 . The fabric as set forth in claim 11 , including an edge comb resistance greater than 850N in the warp or weft direction.

21 . The fabric as set forth in claim 11 , including an edge comb resistance greater than 900N in the warp or weft direction.

22 . The fabric as set claim 11 , wherein the crimp of the warp threads is greater than the crimp of the weft threads.
