  • a textile for air bags requires a variety of characteristics such as low poromericity to smoothly deploy an air bag upon collision, high energy absorption capability to prevent damage/breakage of an air bag itself, and foldability for a textile itself to improve storage.
  • a Nylon 66 material has been widely used as a fiber that is suitable for the requirements of such an air bag textile. In recent years, increasing attention has been paid to fiber materials rather than Nylon 66 due to their economic efficiency, for example, cost savings, etc.

  • a polyethylene terephthalate multifilament obtained by spinning polyethylene terephthalate chips having an intrinsic viscosity (IV) of 0.8 to 1.3 is used in the present invention.
  • a polyester yarn in which a resin has an intrinsic viscosity of less than 0.8 dl/g is not desirable since the polyester yarn does not have sufficient toughness.
  • a resin used to form a multifilament for air bags according to the present invention may include polybutylene terephthalate, polyethylene terephthalate, polybutylene naphthalate, polyethylene-1,2-bis(phenoxy)ethane-4,4′-dicarboxylate, poly(1,4-cyclohexylene-dimethylene terephthalate) and a copolymer including the polymer as one or more repeating unit.

  • the polyethylene terephthalate multifilament extends by 4% or more at an initial stress of 1.0 g/d, a textile may be suddenly deformed and damaged at the beginning.
  • the filament when a filament is subjected to a medium stress of 4.5 g/d, the filament may extend by less than 12%. When the filament extends by 12% or more at a medium stress of 4.5 g/d, a human body may get burned by an exhaust gas due to a sudden increase in poromeric degree of the textile.
  • the textile made from the polyethylene terephthalate multifilament may extend by 3% or more until fibers are cut at a tensile strength of at least 7.0 g/d, so as to allow the textile to have a tensile strength and a tear strength which are suitable for use as an air bag.
  • This is problematic because, when the textile extends by less than 3% until the fibers are cut at a tensile strength of at least 7.0 g/d, a maximum capability of the fibers to absorb a tensile load is insufficient.
  • the tensile strength and tear strength of the fibers may not be sufficient.
  • the polyethylene terephthalate multifilament for air bags may have an elongation at break of 15% or more.
  • the elongation at break of the multifilament is less than 15%, an energy absorption capability when an air bag cushion suddenly expands may be degraded, and thus the cushion may burst.
  • the polyethylene terephthalate multifilament for air bags may have a maximum thermal stress of 0.2 to 0.6 g/d.
  • a yarn may have an insufficient strength under conditions for production of yarn having a maximum thermal stress of less than 0.2 g/d, whereas the yarn may have a low elongation under conditions for production of yarn having a maximum thermal stress greater than 0.6 g/d.
  • the air bag cushion may easily burst in the air bag cushion deployment test.
  • the polyethylene terephthalate multifilament for air bags may preferably have a total fiber thickness of 150 to 1,000 deniers, more preferably 200 to 700 deniers.
  • the textile for air bags may be insufficient in storage, but an air bag may be broken as a passenger collides against the air bag during or after deployment of the air bag.
  • the total fiber thickness exceeds 1,000 deniers, the safety of the air bag may be satisfied due to sufficient strength thereof, but the storage of the air bag may be reduced due to an increase in thickness of the textile.
  • the multifilament constituting the textile for air bags may preferably have a single fiber thickness of 5 deniers or less, more preferably 4.5 deniers or less.
  • a single fiber thickness of 5 deniers or less, more preferably 4.5 deniers or less.
  • the resulting textile is flexible, and thus has excellent foldability and good storage.
  • a covering property may be improved as the single fiber thickness decreases.
  • the single fiber thickness exceeds 5 deniers, the foldability and storage of the textile may be reduced, and the low poromericity may also be degraded. Therefore, the textile may not sufficiently function as the textile for air bags.
  • a ratio of an F/F friction coefficient means a value obtained by dividing a coefficient of kinetic friction (F/F ⁇ s) between fibers of a polyethylene terephthalate yarn by a coefficient of kinetic friction (F/M ⁇ s) between fibers and metal.
  • the ratio of the F/F friction coefficient is preferably 1.5 or more. More preferably, a yarn whose ratio of the F/F friction coefficient is 2.0 or more may be suitably used for the textile for air bags.
  • the ratio of the F/F friction coefficient is less than 1.5, a friction coefficient between the fibers is insufficient, and thus a sewn welt portion may increasingly rupture in the air bag cushion deployment test.

  • the polyethylene terephthalate fiber prepared by the preparation method according to the present invention may be obtained using an air jet or water jet loom weaving machine. However, since a residual oil in the textile has to be present at a content of 0.1% by weight or less, the polyethylene terephthalate fiber may be prepared using the water jet loom weaving machine in consideration of the detachability of an emulsion attached to fibers. Also, the woven fiber may be subjected to a refining process and thermal setting at 160 to 190° C.
