Problems solved by technology

However, when the existing polyester fiber is used to prepare the airbag, the foldability is reduced due to its high stiffness and low flexibility, so it is difficult to install the airbag in a narrow space in the car, and it may be applied to the airbag when the airbag cushion is deployed. obvious shock to passengers
Moreover, due to the properties of polyesters that are significantly decomposed by moisture or heat, etc., there are limitations in maintaining sufficient mechanical properties and unfolding properties under severe conditions of high temperature and high humidity, and therefore, it is difficult to use them commercially

Embodiment 1-5

[0112] Under the conditions described in Table 1 below, at a molar ratio (AA / TPA) of adipic acid (AA) to terephthalic acid (TPA) of 0.02 to 0.12, and ethylene glycol (EG) and dicarboxylic acid The molar ratio [EG / (TPA+AA)] of the components was 1.3. The esterification reaction was carried out at 285 to 292° C. for 4 hours. After the esterification reaction, the prepared oligomer was polycondensed at 284 to 290° C. for 3 hours and 30 minutes to obtain a polymer.

[0113] Polyester polymers (chips) prepared by polycondensation were cut in water using an underwater cutter to produce spherical particle forms such as beads.

[0114] Since the prepared polyester polymer (chip) is prepared into a spherical shape, no blocking will occur when solid-state polymerization is carried out. Therefore, compared with the solid-state polymerization of existing copolymers, the solid-state polymerization temperature can be increased. Here, at 235 Solid state polymerization was carried out for an...

[0124]The ethylene glycol (EG) and dicarboxylic The esterification reaction was carried out at 282 to 288°C for 4 hours at a molar ratio [EG / (TPA++iso-PA)] of 1.3. After the esterification reaction, the prepared oligomer was polycondensed at 288 to 292° C. for 3.5 hours to obtain a polymer.

[0125] Then, the polyester polymer (chip) prepared by polycondensation was subjected to an additional solid-state polymerization reaction at 217°C to 220°C for 24 to 28 hours to obtain solid-state polymerized polyester chips with an intrinsic viscosity (IV) of 1.2 dl / g.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a polyester yarn usable in an air bag fabric, and more specifically, to a method for manufacturing a polyester yarn, an air bag yarn manufactured therefrom, and an air bag fabric including the same, wherein the method comprises the steps of: mixing a specific dicarboxylic acid composition and glycol in a predetermined range, and performing an ester reaction; performing a polycondensation reaction for an oligomer created by said ester reaction; performing solid state polymerization for a polymer created by said polycondensation reaction; and performing melt spinning for a polyester chip created by said solid state polymerization, and performing stretching. The polyester yarn manufactured by the present invention has low modulus, high strength, and further, high contraction. In addition, the polyester yarn of the present invention obtains an excellent mechanical property with remarkably low stiffness, thereby providing a superior storage effect, shape stabilization, and an air blocking effect when used for an air bag fabric.
