As vehicle interiors evolve and safety systems become more complex, airbag modules are being asked to fit into less space while still meeting demanding performance requirements.
Cushion design is a careful balance of pack size, performance, manufacturability and cost. So, what happens when the fibre itself gives engineers more design flexibility?
On 15 December, Jenna Ott, Global Nylon Fiber R&D Director at Invista, will explore that question in a free 30-minute webinar introducing Invista Ultra-fine 1 dpf Nylon 6,6 fibre.
The session will look at how a finer filament structure changes the way airbag fabric behaves, and what those differences could mean for future cushion and module design.
Using comparative test data across 1 dpf Nylon 6,6, conventional 3 dpf and 6 dpf Nylon 6,6, as well as 3 dpf PET, Jenna will examine the relationships between fabric feel, packability and air permeability – and the design possibilities they may open up.
For engineers working in airbag cushions, modules, materials or restraint systems, it’s a concise look at what a more flexible fabric could make possible.
