Fabric for air-bag, using polyethylene terephthalate with excellent heat resistance

Abstract

Provided is a fabric for an airbag using a polyethylene terephthalate fiber, and particularly, to a fabric for an airbag having enhanced thermal resistance and instantaneous thermal strain rate, which is manufactured using a polyethylene terephthalate fiber for an airbag manufactured by controlling the strength and elongation of the polyethylene terephthalate fiber to replace a conventional fabric for an airbag using a yarn formed of nylon 66. The fabric for an airbag including a polyethylene terephthalate fiber manufactured by spinning a polyethylene terephthalate chip having an intrinsic viscosity of 0.8 to 1.3 dl / g has thermal resistances of 0.45 to 0.65 seconds at 450° C., and 0.75 to 1.0 seconds at 350° C.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a fabric for an airbag using a polyethylene terephthalate fiber, and particularly, to a fabric for an airbag having enhanced thermal resistance and instantaneous thermal strain rate, which is manufactured using a polyethylene terephthalate fiber for an airbag manufactured by controlling the strength and elongation of the polyethylene terephthalate fiber to replace a conventional fabric for an airbag using a yarn formed of nylon 66.BACKGROUND ART[0002]An airbag requires characteristics of low air permeability to easily rupture in a car crash, and energy absorbability to prevent damage to and bursting of the airbag itself. In addition, to be more easily stored, characteristics relating to foldability of a fabric itself are required. As a suitable fiber having the above-described characteristics, nylon 66 has generally been used. However, recently, in order to save on cost, attention on fibers other than nylon 66 has been increasing...
